    Are You Touch-Starved?

    enJune 04, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Touch and emotional healthThe lack of touch can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and growth development issues, so it's important to seek touch through various means and prioritize relationships to promote emotional and physical well-being.

      Touch is essential for our emotional and physical well-being. We all need it for our development and overall health. The lack of touch, also known as skin hunger, can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and even growth development issues. To combat this, we can seek touch through various means like massages, hugs, dancing, or even spending time with animals. Additionally, it's important to evaluate and nurture our relationships, just as we would declutter and clean our physical spaces during spring cleaning. Promescent offers products like delay spray and warming arousal gel to help enhance intimacy and pleasure in our relationships. Remember, prioritizing touch and pleasure can lead to better emotional and physical health.

    • Toxic RelationshipsIdentify toxic relationships by feeling worse, lack of interest/celebration, and manipulative behavior. Prioritize emotional connection and good communication for healthier relationships.

      During the pandemic, many people have reflected on their relationships and identified those that are toxic and draining. Signs of toxic relationships include feeling worse when you're with the person, a lack of interest or celebration of your achievements, and manipulative behavior. It's important to recognize that you don't have to be in a relationship that makes you feel bad. For those looking to get back into dating, it can be helpful to control the conversation and ask revealing questions to elicit vulnerability and emotional connection. Understanding your own needs and values is also crucial in finding a compatible partner. Whether through video chats or in-person dates, prioritizing emotional connection and good communication can lead to healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

    • Sexual connectionsBuilding a meaningful connection is crucial for satisfying sexual experiences, which involves respecting boundaries, communicating openly, and prioritizing consent in committed or open relationships.

      Building a meaningful connection is essential for satisfying sexual experiences. Whether you're looking for a committed relationship or exploring open relationships, taking the time to get to know someone and respect their boundaries is crucial. Communication is key, and consent should always be a priority. For those experiencing a lack of intimacy in their relationships, it's essential to have open and honest conversations with your partner about your desires and needs. Experimenting with new sensations and techniques can also help keep things exciting. Remember, everyone's preferences and experiences are unique, so be patient and persistent in finding what works best for you and your partner.

    • Sexual communication and understandingOpen communication and understanding are essential for maintaining a healthy sexual relationship. Education, empathy, and exploration can help bridge gaps when introducing new desires or experiences, such as sex toys, and therapy can address underlying issues. Remember, introducing toys doesn't replace the partner but enhances pleasure for both individuals.

      Open communication and understanding are crucial in maintaining a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship. If one partner expresses a desire for something new or different, such as introducing sex toys, but the other partner is hesitant due to past beliefs or experiences, education, empathy, and exploration can help bridge the gap. It's important to remember that introducing toys is not a replacement for the partner, but rather an addition to enhance pleasure for both individuals. Communication and therapy can also be valuable tools in addressing any underlying issues and ensuring that both partners are on the same page about their values and goals for the relationship. Overall, relationships require effort and compromise, and working through challenges together can lead to deeper intimacy and growth.

    • Sexual communication and experimentationSharing thoughts, opinions, and experiences through communication and experimentation can lead to enhanced sexual experiences, as demonstrated by Mark and his wife's conversation with Emily the sex expert.

      Communication and experimentation are key to enhancing sexual experiences. Emily, the sex expert, encourages individuals to share their thoughts and opinions through a survey, emphasizing the importance of feedback in expanding the SWE brand. During the call, Mark and his wife shared their experiences with new sex toys and sought advice on using breast clamps and anal douching. Emily suggested trying different areas on the breast for clamp usage and recommended using warm water instead of chemical solutions for anal douching. Mark also discussed his unique experience of ejaculating multiple times within an hour, which Emily explained as potentially being edging rather than premature ejaculation. Overall, the conversation highlighted the importance of being open-minded, communicative, and willing to try new things in order to explore and enhance sexual experiences.

    • Sexual staminaImprove sexual stamina through Kegels, mindfulness, relaxation, and delay sprays. Communicate openly with partner and take things slow if returning to sexual relationships after trauma.

      Improving sexual stamina and addressing premature ejaculation involves a combination of physical exercises like Kegels, mental techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation, and the use of delay sprays like Promescent. The key is to find a balance between these approaches and to communicate openly with your partner about your needs and desires. For those who have been away from sexual relationships due to trauma or other reasons, it's important to take things slow and build trust, perhaps starting with self-exploration and gradually introducing new experiences. Ultimately, the goal is to find a healthy and fulfilling sexual connection that respects both partners' needs and desires.

    • Personal needs in sexual relationshipsIndividuals should prioritize their own desires and needs in sexual relationships, communicate openly, and focus on personal growth and mutual respect.

      Individuals should prioritize their own desires and needs when it comes to sexual relationships. Pressure to give in to someone's demands for sex is not a valid reason, and it's essential to be honest about personal goals and intentions. By being authentic and attentive to one's own needs, individuals are more likely to find suitable partners. Emily encourages open communication and honesty in all aspects of sex, relationships, and dating. She also emphasizes the importance of self-care and prioritizing pleasure. Overall, the key takeaway is to approach sexual relationships with a focus on personal growth, authenticity, and mutual respect.
