Episode notes

I'm not a believer in don't go to bed angry. If I've had some time and some space and a good night of sleep, I can come back to an argument and be in such a better place. There are a lot of men who feel very ashamed about not wanting sex more often than they do or having a female partner who wants sex more frequently than they do. Men want to experience emotional connection during sex too. It feels tiring to have my partner treat me like all I want is just this physical release when I'm trying to feel this closeness with them.

Sex Therapist Vanessa Marin is back on the pod to discuss how we can all make sex more ENJOYABLE. She shares with us:

How we can stop faking our orgasms and experiment with real pleasure;
How to communicate honestly with our partners about what we want in bed; and
Why masturbation can be an opportunity for self-exploration and reclamation.

She also offers empowering advice for individuals recovering from sexual trauma.

Plus, Glennon contemplates writing erotica.
