Episode Notes

How often do you have conversations about sexual intimacy with your partner? Sexual intimacy is a foundational part of a healthy relationship, and those conversations can create greater experiences of peace, joy, and happiness.

We’re all formed on accepted beliefs from others, like movies, parents, school, religion. These create unconscious unwritten rules. Where did that come from, is that true for me?

“The goal is to have the honest, open conversations of what each person likes so that the guy can fizzle, and spark and the women can be warm and glow, and it can all happen at the same time.”

The key is communication. And that takes a level of honesty, vulnerability, and safety. Set up a safe environment both physically and emotionally to talk about these things. It’s not about compromising, it’s about setting up a situation that’s a win-win situation where both people agree to it. Because if there’s any shame, guilt, fear, then the experience is not going to be good for anybody.

And for those that these conversations might still be difficult to have, there is support out there and it just takes a little bit of researching and asking for that support to be able to move forward and have a new experience in their life. It’s about total acceptance. Acceptance of self, our partner, and humanity.

“It’s about the fun, the fun, the joy, the happiness and no matter where we are in the relationship, we can always keep moving towards more of that to truly explore who we are as human beings. And sex is a big part of that.”
