    • Exploring Intimacy: Trying New Things and CommunicatingCommunication and trying new things are essential for exploring intimacy and understanding each other's desires. Use proper lubricant for anal sex and have open conversations to enhance the relationship.

      Communication and being open to trying new things are key elements in exploring intimacy and understanding each other's desires in a relationship. In the discussion, Jen and Lauren shared their experience of trying anal sex for the first time after their boyfriend encouraged it. They emphasized the importance of using proper lubricant and not relying on household items like olive oil. They also talked about their podcast, where they give advice and share personal stories, including their own experiences with anal sex. The conversation highlighted the importance of having open conversations about sexual preferences and being willing to try new things to enhance the relationship. Additionally, they mentioned the importance of having the right tools and resources, like proper lubricant, to ensure a positive experience.

    • The importance of open communication and meeting basic needs in relationshipsEffective communication and addressing unmet needs can prevent dissatisfaction and strengthen intimacy in relationships. Seek knowledge and understanding when faced with unfamiliar situations.

      Having a fulfilling and healthy relationship involves ensuring that basic needs are met, and the connection between partners is strong. The discussion highlighted the importance of open communication and the potential consequences of not addressing issues, such as dissatisfaction in intimate areas. A relatable topic discussed was the experience of experiencing unsatisfactory sex in a relationship. The guest shared her experience of feeling disconnected and unfulfilled in her relationship due to the partner's inability to meet her needs. The conversation also touched upon the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding when faced with unfamiliar situations, as the guest had done when researching about unusual penis shapes. Overall, the conversation emphasized the significance of open communication, self-awareness, and mutual respect in maintaining a healthy and satisfying relationship.

    • Effective communication in intimate moments and breakupsBe candid about desires, ensure safety and comfort for pleasure, communicate face-to-face during breakups, be clear and honest, avoid blame and shame, take responsibility for choices

      Effective communication is crucial in all aspects of relationships, especially during intimate moments and during breakups. During sexual encounters, being candid about desires and needs can help set expectations and reduce anxiety. For women, feeling safe and comfortable is essential for pleasure and orgasms. Regarding breakups, it's essential to communicate face-to-face, be clear and honest about reasons, and avoid being wishy-washy or blaming or shaming the other person. Ultimately, taking responsibility for your choices and communicating effectively can lead to positive outcomes in relationships.

    • Effective Communication in RelationshipsExpress feelings authentically, deliver messages with kindness, reflect on personal growth, and find solutions that align with values and well-being.

      Communication is key in any relationship, whether personal or professional. It's important to express your feelings authentically, without blaming others, and deliver messages with kindness. Even if the situation is not ideal, such as delivering hurtful information, it's crucial to be considerate and empathetic. This not only applies to face-to-face interactions but also to phone conversations and written messages. Another important takeaway is the power of self-reflection and personal growth. In the conversation, the speaker mentioned how her ex-partner was deeply affected by an episode of their podcast about breakups. This experience led him to recognize the need for therapy and self-improvement. It's never too late to learn and grow from our experiences, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they may seem. Lastly, the speaker shared her excitement about a product called Hero Bread, which offers delicious and nutritious alternatives to traditional high-carb bread products. This discovery not only added joy to her life but also fit perfectly into her health goals. It's essential to find solutions that align with our values and make a positive impact on our well-being.

    • Being respectful during breakupsTreating the other person with respect and dignity during breakups can help lessen the pain. Choose a private and convenient time for the conversation.

      When it comes to relationships, it's important to be authentic, respectful, and considerate, whether you're entering into a relationship or ending one. Breakups can be difficult and painful, but treating the other person with respect and dignity can help lessen the blow. It's also important to consider the timing and setting of the conversation. For instance, breaking up over dinner or in public may not be the best idea. Instead, choosing a private and convenient time can make the process less traumatic for both parties. Additionally, being open to learning from past relationships and approaching new ones with a positive attitude can lead to growth and improvement. Ultimately, relationships are an opportunity for personal growth and development, and approaching them with care and compassion can lead to meaningful connections and experiences.

    • Moving Forward After a Breakup: Self-Love and Self-CareAllow emotions, don't dwell, use dating apps, practice self-care like classes, workouts, and sex toys, and prioritize self-love for personal growth

      Taking control of situations and practicing self-love are essential components of moving forward after a breakup. The speaker emphasizes the importance of allowing oneself to experience emotions but not dwelling on them excessively. Dating apps can be a helpful tool for those looking to re-enter the dating scene. Self-care, such as taking classes, working out, and using sex toys, can also aid in the healing process. The magic wand, a versatile sex toy, can serve as both a massager and a vibrator, making it a popular choice for those seeking pleasure and relaxation. It's important to remember that self-love and self-care are crucial aspects of personal growth and should not be overlooked during challenging times.

    • Mindfulness and deep breathing enhance sexual experiencesPracticing mindfulness and deep breathing during sex can help improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance the connection with your partner, leading to better orgasms.

      Being mentally present and focusing on the moment, as well as practicing deep breathing, can significantly enhance the quality of sexual experiences for both partners. The mind plays a crucial role in sexual satisfaction, and worrying about performance or appearance can hinder the ability to achieve orgasm. By letting go of these concerns and focusing on the connection with your partner and the sensations in the moment, you can improve your sexual experiences and increase the likelihood of having great orgasms. Additionally, communication and comfort with your partner are essential for a satisfying sexual relationship.

    • Impact of Alcohol on Sexual Performance and MindsetRefocus on sensations and positive thoughts during sex to enhance the experience, as alcohol can hinder orgasm and past experiences may influence satisfaction.

      Alcohol consumption can impact a person's ability to achieve orgasm, and it's essential to refocus on the sensations in the moment instead of negative thoughts. Additionally, past experiences and comfort levels with partners can significantly influence the quality of sexual experiences. The speaker shares her struggle with this issue and the importance of shifting negative thoughts to positive ones to enhance the experience. The conversation also touches upon the idea that genuine connection and enthusiasm in a relationship can lead to better sexual experiences.

    • Prioritizing Women's Pleasure and PassionWomen deserve to enjoy their sexual experiences, prioritize their own desires, and find a balance between passion and emotional stability.

      Sex and passion can be regained, even in new relationships or encounters, and it's important for women to prioritize their own pleasure and desires. The speaker emphasized that women are conditioned to focus too much on performing and pleasing their partners, but they deserve to enjoy their sexual experiences and take the lead. She also suggested that the intensity of past relationships or toxic situations can lead to passionate sex, but it's healthier to find a balance between passion and emotional stability. Lastly, the speaker shared some quick insights about personal preferences, with Lauren mentioning that her biggest turn-on is having her breasts touched, and Jen preferring neck kisses. Deal breakers for Jen were joblessness, and for Lauren, a bad relationship with family members. Jen's preferred personality trait in a partner is not explicitly stated in the conversation.

    • Authenticity and Communication in IntimacyBe true to yourself, express desires openly, ask for what you want, prioritize communication, and learn from each partner.

      Authenticity and communication are key in relationships, especially when it comes to intimacy. Lauren and Emily discussed the importance of being true to oneself and expressing desires openly. They emphasized that it's important to ask for what you want and not pretend to be busy when you're not. They also encouraged exploring new experiences and learning from each partner. In the email question, a listener named Jess shared her struggle with a mismatched libido in her marriage. Emily advised her to ask her partner for more information and prioritize communication and pleasure in the relationship. Overall, the conversation emphasized the importance of open and honest communication in navigating intimacy and relationships.

    • Open communication and patience are essential for enhancing intimacyBe supportive and understanding, explore alternative ways to please your partner, and communicate openly to build and maintain intimate relationships.

      Open communication and patience are key to enhancing intimacy and helping a partner achieve sexual satisfaction. Wes, a listener from California, shared his experience of meeting a new partner who had confidence issues due to past relationships and difficulty achieving orgasms during intercourse. Emily offered guidance on how Wes could approach the situation, suggesting that he be a supportive and understanding partner, and explore other ways to please her outside of intercourse. Additionally, Emily addressed a listener named Emily, who was nervous about navigating intimate conversations on a first date. Emily advised that honesty and openness are important, but that there is a time and place for sensitive topics. She encouraged Emily to focus on getting to know her date and building a connection, rather than worrying too much about disclosing past baggage. Overall, the discussions highlight the importance of open communication, patience, and understanding in building and maintaining intimate relationships.

    • Being authentic on first datesBe yourself, ask questions, and listen actively to build connection and find compatibility on first dates.

      Being authentic and genuine is key in both social situations and first dates. Emily shared her nervousness about first dates and how she tries to keep her confidence up. The guest reassured her that it's natural to feel nervous and encouraged her to be herself, ask questions, and listen actively. They discussed how important it is to find compatibility and shared values with the person you're interested in. The guest also emphasized the importance of taking care of yourself before and during a date, and that it's okay to let the other person know that you're nervous. The guest used the analogy of dating being a muscle that needs practice to strengthen over time. In essence, the best approach is to be curious, ask questions, and be yourself.

    5 Sex Myths We All Believe

    5 Sex Myths We All Believe
    Let’s be honest: there are certain myths about sex that are SO common, they seem like truth. Things like: what it means to be wet, what it means to be hard, and what it means if you use a vibrator a lot. But guess what? A ton of the things you and I have both heard about sex aren’t based on science - they’ve just been repeated a lot. So on today’s show, I’m debunking the top sex myths I see and hear, and giving you the actual facts.  What does it mean about your sexual ability if you’ve had a lot of partners - or conversely, hardly any? We talk about it. How about if you’re not getting wet during sex. Does that mean you’re not turned on? We discuss! Let’s say you use a vibrator a lot - can you get addicted to it? Or my favorite: does having an orgasm mean the sex was good? I tackle both of these. And finally, we face the truth about anal sex, because spoiler alert...it’s not just for gay men. In this episode you’ll learn:  About the wide range of orgasms people can experience and why each is unique. Why libido levels vary between individuals and how this impacts sexual relationships. How pornography can shape unrealistic expectations and affect real-life sexual experiences.

    "God loves you like a lover, and longs for you like a lover." This is just one of the many surprising examples that Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers found while researching sexuality in religious scriptures.
    In this episode, she discusses how the Western church actually used to be sex positive- so where did everything get turned around, and why did religion end up cultivating and capitalizing on sexual fear and shame instead?
