    Podcast Summary

    • Magic Wand: More Than Just a Sex ToyThe iconic Magic Wand offers powerful vibrations, symbolizes pleasure and power, and comes in various iterations, while Promescent enhances summer sex with pleasure products.

      The magic wand, a iconic sex toy, offers powerful vibrations and has earned accolades for decades. Originally dubbed the "Cadillac of vibrators," it's more than just a toy, it's a cultural symbol of pleasure and power. With various iterations like the rechargeable, mini, micro, and plush versions, the magic wand continues to provide the same powerful orgasmic rumble that made it famous. Additionally, during summer, sex life heats up, and Promescent offers pleasure enhancing products such as delay spray and warming arousal gel to help last longer and increase pleasure for both men and women. By understanding the difference between desire and arousal, and focusing on preparation, individuals can enhance their sexual experiences.

    • Understanding Arousal and DesireRecognize and embrace your unique arousal style to enhance your sexual experience and deepen your connection with yourself and your partners.

      Arousal and desire are two distinct aspects of the sexual experience. Desire is the psychological wanting or motivation, while arousal is the physical preparation. Understanding these differences can help individuals identify their unique arousal styles and respond to sexual situations more effectively. The show "Sex with Emily" explores various ways people get aroused, including through conversation, visuals, touch, play, and physical adventure. By recognizing and embracing your arousal style, you can enhance your overall sexual experience and deepen your connection with yourself and your partners. Remember, everyone's experience is unique, and it's essential to explore and learn about your body and desires. For more information, check out Emily's article on arousal styles and her podcast for additional tips and advice.

    • Identifying your arousal styleBeing aware of your preferred arousal style - conversation, touch, or visuals - can improve your sexual experiences by allowing you to communicate your needs and create a more satisfying experience with your partner.

      Understanding your unique arousal style can help enhance your sexual experiences. There are several common arousal styles, including through conversation, touch, and visuals. If you identify with the conversation style, emotional connection and relaxed conversations are key to getting aroused. For those who prefer touch, physical contact is essential. Lastly, visual stimuli can be a powerful arousal trigger. Self-awareness of your arousal style can help you communicate your needs to your partner and create a more satisfying sexual experience. Remember, everyone is different, and it's normal to identify with more than one arousal style.

    • Identifying your unique arousal typesUnderstanding your primary arousal type can enhance your sexual experiences. Three main types are play, physical adventure, and conversation. Recognize and cater to your individual needs for satisfying experiences.

      Understanding your unique arousal types can significantly enhance your sexual experiences. The speaker outlined three main arousal types: through play, where individuals are highly imaginative and enjoy exploring new scenarios; through physical adventure, where individuals get turned on by engaging in heart-pounding activities; and through conversation, where individuals crave deep, meaningful connection through talking and sharing. These arousal types can vary from day to day, and recognizing them can help you create more satisfying sexual experiences. For instance, if conversation is your primary arousal type, plan a date with minimal distractions to focus on each other and engage in deep, thoughtful conversations. By understanding and catering to your individual arousal types, you and your partner can build a stronger, more fulfilling sexual connection.

    • Exploring Intimacy: Communication, Touch, Visuals, and Physical AdventureEffective communication, touch, visual arousal, and physical adventure enhance intimacy and sexual connection between partners.

      Effective communication, touch, visuals, and physical adventure are key elements in enhancing intimacy and sexual connection between partners. Communication through conversation allows both individuals to feel connected and understood. Touch, starting with gentle and neutral gestures, can create sexual tension and arousal. Visual arousal can be fueled by sincere compliments and shared fantasies. Physical adventure involves planning activities where both partners can be active together, creating heart-pounding experiences. These techniques can help couples explore and deepen their sexual connection.

    • Identifying arousal styles and food solutionsRecognizing arousal types can boost connection and understanding desire. Hero Bread offers guilt-free bread options with impressive nutritional stats.

      Understanding your arousal style and identifying it can significantly enhance your connection with your partner and yourself. Arousal and desire are different, and recognizing the common arousal types can help address questions about decreased libido. Meanwhile, when it comes to food, Hero Bread offers a solution for those who want to enjoy their favorite bread products without the guilt. This bread has impressive nutritional stats, including 0 to 1 net carbs per serving, 0 grams of sugar, and high fiber and protein content. Its texture is phenomenal, making it a game changer for various dishes. And for those dealing with disagreements or stress in their relationships, it's important to remember that it's normal for sexual desire to decrease during such periods. Communication and addressing the underlying issues can help improve the situation.

    • Understanding Intimacy and Sexual DesireRecognize conflicts, communicate effectively, and explore solo practices for intimacy and satisfaction. Seek therapy for communication skills and conflict resolution. Understand arousal styles for improved partnered sex.

      Everyone experiences sexual desire and arousal differently, and conflicts in relationships can impact sexual intimacy. It's essential to recognize what gets in the way of desire and explore ways to manage conflicts through communication and finding ways to connect intimately. For some individuals, solo sex practices may bring more pleasure and satisfaction than partnered sex, especially if they're currently single or in casual relationships. However, it's essential to remember that sex begets sex, and maintaining intimacy and connection can lead to a desire for partnered sex. Seeking therapy to improve communication skills and conflict resolution can benefit all couples. Ultimately, understanding your arousal style and finding ways to connect intimately with your partner can help alleviate tension and improve sexual satisfaction.

    • Understanding Desire and ArousalDesire is mental, arousal is physical. Everyone's sexual journey is unique, and understanding desire and arousal differences can lead to effective communication and satisfying experiences.

      Desire and arousal are two different things in sexual experiences. Desire is the mental aspect, referring to wanting or not wanting sex, while arousal is the physical response to sexual stimuli. Responsive desire, where one needs certain conditions met before feeling desire, is more common than spontaneous desire. The absence of sexual attraction doesn't necessarily mean a lack of emotional connection or attraction to a partner. These feelings can change over time in relationships, and it's essential to understand the difference between desire and arousal to navigate sexual experiences effectively. Ultimately, everyone's sexual journey is unique, and it's crucial to explore and understand your body and desires on your terms.

    • Addressing Relationship Issues PromptlyEffective communication is vital for a healthy relationship. Understand different kinds of attraction and address sexual dysfunction with open communication and professional help.

      Effective communication is crucial in maintaining a healthy and fulfilling relationship. When issues arise, addressing them promptly can help prevent the buildup of resentments and foster a stronger emotional and sexual connection. It's essential to understand that different kinds of attraction exist and can shift throughout a relationship. For some individuals, emotional connection may lead to sexual attraction, while others may experience the reverse. In the case of sexual dysfunction, various factors can contribute, such as medication use. Regardless, open communication with a partner and seeking professional help when necessary can lead to a better understanding of one's needs and desires in a relationship.

    • Exploring the causes of sexual dysfunction at a young ageExplore physical, emotional, and psychological causes. Seek professional help, practice self-exploration, and be patient with yourself. Normalize your experiences and know you're not alone.

      Sexual dysfunction at a young age, including lack of pleasure or sensation, can have various causes. These may include physical factors like pain or vaginismus, emotional or psychological factors like anxiety or trauma, or the side effects of medication like SSRIs. It's important to explore these possibilities and take a holistic approach to addressing the issue. This might involve seeking professional help from a pelvic floor physical therapist, practicing mindful masturbation, and experimenting with sex toys. Remember, everyone's body and sexual experiences are unique, and it's normal to have questions and concerns. Take the pressure off yourself and approach exploration with curiosity and patience. If you're feeling overwhelmed, try focusing on the sensations in your body rather than the goal of orgasm. And know that you're not alone – many people don't experience their first orgasm until their twenties or later.

    • Exploring alternative methods for enhanced sexual experiences when medication is a factorConsider mindfulness techniques like breath work and meditation to improve mind-body connection during sexual activity. Speak with your doctor about potential solutions if concerned about medication impact.

      If you're experiencing decreased sensations during sexual activity and believe it may be related to medication, consider exploring other methods to enhance your mind-body connection. This could include practicing mindfulness techniques like breath work and meditation to help get out of your head and into your body. Additionally, if you're concerned about the impact of your medication, it's important to speak with your doctor about potential solutions. Remember, everyone deserves pleasure and it's never too late to explore new ways to connect with your body and enhance your sexual experiences.

    Never tell your current partner that your last partner was good in bed. They don’t want to hear the amazing things this person did in bed or anything about the size of anything.  Emily goes through the biggest sex myths, from penis size to female ejaculation. Plus, how men can learn to have multiple orgasms. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    How to ask for what you want in bed

    How to ask for what you want in bed

    Those of you who know me know how I feel about this! I’m all about us being empowered in our sexuality - and having it be as enjoyable as possible. We deserve to feel pleasure. We deserve to fully enjoy sex. And making sure we do that is our responsibility.

    There is so much to be said for us discovering what it is that we enjoy.

    None of us are born great at sex, or innately knowing what we like. We have to figure it out through exploration. 

    We’ve got to stop expecting a partner to just know what to do - or blaming them if we’re not enjoying what’s happening.

    Women say things like:

    I’m afraid to tell my partner that I don’t like what they’re doing.

    I don’t want to hurt his feelings.

    I just don’t know what to ask for.

    Sometimes I ask for something and he doesn’t do it right.

    I often hear women say they’re afraid to ask for what they want - I also hear men say they really wish they had more direction, because they really want to please their partner - they’re just not sure how. This sucks for women - and it sucks for men too. 

    Over and over I hear men tell me that they feel performance pressure. They feel like they’re expected to know what to do. And they feel out of their depth and a bit clueless. 

    So I'm going to share with you how and when you can start the conversation. And don't worry, with a bit of practice, this gets easier - and we tend to get more creative with practice! So give yourself permission to start. Most partners will love you being more open and expressive about your sexual wants and needs.

    My hope is that today’s episode helps you think differently about your pleasure and how to get more of it!

    I’m going to be talking about this more in my Epic Orgasms Course coming out soon.

    So make sure you head to my website and join the waitlist to be the first to hear when it opens.
