    • Juggling Responsibilities and Prioritizing HealthEven the healthiest individuals can fall ill, causing disruptions. Prioritize health, eat well, quit bad habits, and stay flexible when unexpected circumstances arise.

      Even the most health-conscious and productive individuals can fall ill, causing disruptions to their work and personal lives. Menace, the host of Sex With Emily, shared her experience of being hospitalized with pneumonia despite her generally healthy lifestyle. She had to cancel her plans to visit her family and miss some episodes of her show due to her unexpected illness. This experience served as a wake-up call for Menace to prioritize her health and take better care of herself. She learned to eat healthier, quit caffeine, and slow down her pace. Despite some listeners' concerns about her absence from the show, Menace reassured them that she was still very much a part of it, even if her involvement had changed slightly. Overall, Menace's experience highlights the importance of taking care of one's health, even when juggling multiple responsibilities, and the need for flexibility and understanding when unexpected circumstances arise.

    • Spicing up long-term relationships with Spicy SubscriptionsInnovative subscription box helps couples keep the spark alive by introducing new experiences and toys into their intimate lives, encouraging communication and mutual fulfillment.

      Keeping the spark alive in a long-term relationship requires effort and communication. The speaker shares her experience of receiving a subscription box, Spicy Subscriptions, which delivers sex toys, massage oils, candles, and other intimate items to couples every month. She emphasizes that this service can help couples spice up their sex lives without having to initiate conversations about it. However, she also shares her personal experience of breaking up with someone due to various reasons, emphasizing that relationships require mutual understanding and fulfillment. She concludes by stating that it's essential to address issues and work on improving the relationship rather than expecting it to be effortless. The Spicy Subscriptions box is an innovative solution to help couples keep the spark alive by introducing new experiences and toys into their intimate lives.

    • The complexities of modern relationshipsAppreciating long-term commitment and the challenges it brings, acknowledging that being single can also be fulfilling, and considering new experiences to keep relationships exciting.

      The importance and complexity of relationships have evolved significantly over time. During earlier eras, marriage was more about practical arrangements than love. However, with increased life expectancy and a greater emphasis on romantic connections, staying committed to a partner for a long time has become a significant challenge. Despite the difficulties, many people continue to value the bond of marriage and the companionship it provides. The speaker in the conversation expresses her appreciation for those who manage to make it work, acknowledging that it's not an easy feat. She also reflects on her own relationship, sharing that she's currently single but content with her situation. Additionally, she ponders the idea of incorporating new experiences, like using sex toys or hiring a professional, to add excitement to a relationship. Overall, the conversation highlights the enduring nature of love and the various ways people navigate the complexities of modern relationships.

    • Healing deep-rooted issues in relationships through committed couples therapyLong-term therapy commitment improves understanding, communication, and strengthens relationships. Techniques like 'cat position' enhance orgasms, while products like Promescent extend intercourse duration.

      Committed couples therapy is essential for healing deep-rooted issues in relationships. Unlike a quick fix, therapy requires a long-term commitment, ideally for several months, to help couples understand each other better and determine if they should continue their relationship. Additionally, communication is key in addressing specific challenges, such as premature ejaculation or difficulty achieving orgasms during intercourse. A solution for the latter includes the "cat position," which allows for greater clitoral stimulation and increased chances of experiencing an orgasm. For men struggling with premature ejaculation, a product called Promescent can help extend the duration of intercourse. Overall, investing time and effort into therapy and open communication can significantly improve and strengthen relationships.

    • Effective communication in sex and online datingUse desensitizing sprays or methods like start-stop for PE, consult a doctor. Personalized messages with relatable content and light teasing can increase response in online dating.

      Effective communication is key in both sexual relationships and online dating. For those experiencing premature ejaculation, methods like using desensitizing spray or the start-stop method can be helpful. However, it's important to consult a doctor as the issue may be physical or mental. In the context of online dating, personalized messages that engage the other person in conversation are more likely to receive a response. Avoid generic responses and try to relate to something specific in their profile. Lightly teasing or "clowning" on them can also spark their interest, but be sure not to cross the line into disrespect. Remember, the goal is to make them feel intrigued and wanted.

    • Reviving Relationships: Effort and PlanningAddress unresolved issues, prioritize time together, communicate openly, and strengthen the bond.

      Rekindling the spark in a relationship requires effort and planning. While some may believe that being playful and sarcastic in online interactions can be effective, it's important to remember that everyone's preferences are different. For couples looking to reignite the spark, it's crucial to address any unresolved issues and make time for each other. Scheduling sex may seem unromantic to some, but prioritizing intimacy can help keep the connection alive. Remember, the key is to communicate openly and consistently work towards strengthening the bond between you both.

    • Communication and planning keep sex life satisfyingDiscuss desires, try new things, surprise partner, adapt, communicate, and find privacy to maintain intimacy

      Communication and planning are key to maintaining a satisfying and adaptable sex life. Scheduling sex may not be a bad thing, as long as both partners are on board and willing to try new things. Surprising your partner with different positions and initiating sex can help reignite the spark. Discussing and living out your fantasies can also add excitement to your relationship. Remember, it's important to adapt and communicate as your sexual desires change over time. And if you have children, finding creative ways to have privacy, such as having sex in the shower or making your bedroom an off-limits zone, can help maintain intimacy.

    • Create new experiences to keep the spark aliveBreak out of routine, try new hobbies, adventures, or staycations, communicate and explore desires, use sex toys, play games, and ask provocative questions to maintain a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

      Keeping the spark alive in a relationship involves breaking out of routine and creating new experiences to boost adrenaline and arousal. This can be achieved through activities outside the bedroom, such as trying new hobbies together, going on adventures, or even something as simple as a staycation at home. Communication and exploration of each other's desires are also crucial in keeping the sexual connection strong. Using sex toys, playing games, and asking provocative questions can help deepen the understanding and satisfaction in the bedroom. In essence, keeping things exciting and new is essential for maintaining a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

    • Communicate and experiment for a satisfying sex lifeOpenly discuss desires and try new things to keep the spark alive in a long-term relationship, avoid seeking excitement outside and focus on improving intimacy within.

      Open communication and experimentation are key to keeping the spark alive in a long-term sexual relationship. The speaker suggests having conversations about sexual preferences and fantasies, and trying new things together. For instance, asking questions about each other's desires, playing truth or dare, and incorporating foreplay and oral sex can help spice things up. The speaker also recommends against seeking excitement outside the relationship and instead focusing on improving the intimacy within it. Additionally, the speaker encourages listeners to find her on social media and tune in to her podcast on the Stitcher app for more advice and insights on sex and relationships.

    The Sexual Avoidance Cycle Revisited: The Dangers of ‘Sexpectations’

    Today we are going to revisit the Sexual Avoidance Cycle; more specifically, we are going to talk about the Disappointment Phase of the Cycle in order to pinpoint the harmful effects of expectations. That is, what happens when we have grand visions and plans for a sexual experience, and it falls below our expectation level?

    As is common, we experience disappointment which can compound into further sexual complications in a relationship. This was discussed as well in episode #40 (another soapbox installment!).

    Using this concept as a springboard for conversation, this episode will briefly cover a wide array of instances where sexual expectations (sexpectations) can sabotage our sex lives. In addition, porn (the usual suspect), makes another appearance. I will analyze, not from a moral standpoint, but a psychologically-reinforcing basis, the negative effect that porn has on creating unrealistic expectations.

    I will also do a short ‘mythbusting’ segment where I scrutinize some of the more prevalent myths about sex. There’s a lot to cover in a short amount of time, but you can definitely expect a great show.

    What is so Bad About [S]expectations?
    should we avoid expectations like the plague when sex is involved? What is so harmful about these sexpectations? For one, putting a cap on expectations can help correct incorrect assumptions and predispositions towards sex; it can also lead to better spousal communication and connection. And with a minimal level of sexpectiations at the forefront of one’s sexual activities, sex can be a joyous occasion instead of a stressful, pressure-inducing obstacle to avoid. So, it is often a best practice to let things happen how they are going to happen in the bedroom. Expecting too much is harmful to everyone involved. For more, tune in!

    Interrogate Your Social Environment
    Never write off the power of social factors in determining your unique sexual makeup and preconceived expectations. The proverbial ‘nurture’ of the Nature/Nurture debate can be said to affect all of us, in seemingly unconscious ways; but nonetheless, it is a strong explicit and implicit determinant in how our expectations are formed. Maybe you have never thought about it before. Regardless, interrogating your social environment, both present and past is very important for understanding and thus unpacking some of your possibly misguided expectations. For more, listen in.

    “No Two Kids Have the Same Parents”
    Synonymous with our social environments, taking into account the unique perspectives and mentalities that each of us has towards sex is a must for untangling the complex web of your expectations. To properly manage what we expect, we should plan to gain as much understanding as possible.

    Porn Isn’t Helping Your Sexpectations
    Again, this isn’t a condemnation of pornography from a moral basis, but an analysis of the very disconnecting nature of pornography on the realistic expectations of sexually active individuals. Because pornography makes a caricature out of certain aspects of sex--penis and breast size, body shape, movements, duration, an emphasis on penetrative over other forms of sex, and a myriad of other fantastical elements--it is easy to let those elements seep into your own personal expectations. Especially if you are of the generation that grew up on porn and learned a lot about sexuality from the very unreal world of pornography. Tune in for more detail on this.

    Desire Discrepancies, The Female Orgasm, and Other Sex Myths
    There are many sexual myths in circulation due to misinformation and lack of a comprehensive sexual education. To start, a very prominent myth has to do with any uneven desires for sex in relationships. And no, there is nothing wrong in general with your relationship if the desires are a bit lopsided e.g. the woman wants sex more or the man has the larger libido. That is completely normal and doesn’t point to any specific facet of the relationship that has gone bad. Another myth covered is the fact that only 25% of women and below (the minority of women) can experience an orgasm through penetrative sex. Almost every other female needs some sort of external stimulus or clitoral stimulation. YET...the number one perpetuated myth in pornography is that every single woman is achieving orgasm through the traditional means of penetrative sex.

    And lastly, other myths are brought up, including the very normal practice of masturbating while in a relationship. Please stop by and learn how to free yourself from expectations and some of the sexuality myths currently in circulation.

    207: Hookup Without Heartbreak – Lia Holmgren

    207: Hookup Without Heartbreak – Lia Holmgren
    Hookup without Heartbreak
    Intimacy and relationship coach Lia Holmgren’s new book, Hookup Without Heartbreak, teaches women to let go of negative feelings after casual hook ups/sex, as well as how to reclaim one’s sexual freedom. Learn the do’s and don’ts of casual sex, the history and science behind hooking up, and learn all you need to know before going on that next date.

    Casual sex: How do people deal with it?
    The main focus of this book is double standards – how casual sex can be widely accepted for men but seen as inappropriate for women. Hormones and neurobiology play a big part as to why women tend to feel more attached after having casual sex than men do. Lia also looks into the role of religion, education, and upbringing to explain why women feel a certain way and why women have so much shame and fear around casual sex.

    The do’s and don’ts in casual sex
    Lia’s book has 24 tips for women who have caught feelings and then had their hearts broken after casual hookups. These include ways to get over the person, how to deal with hookups who ghost afterwards, how to be safe on dates and how to not feel shame afterwards. The book also talks about how to appreciate the experience and how to have casual sex without any expectations.

    How do you discern whether you have the right reasons to hookup?
    It’s important for a person to know their intentions before engaging in a casual hookup. Is it a want for sex or a need for intimacy and closeness? Honesty and clear communication with one’s partner is key, as well as being honest with oneself.

    Key takeaways

    The book aims to teach women that it’s okay to have casual sex for sex, without the shame and guilt. It’s important for men to be more understanding and honest after casual sex. Honesty and clear communication is important for both sides.
