Episode notes

Vanessa Williams and her co-host Abby MacKinnon try to get comfortable saying the phrase, "It feels so good when you go slow" The two women repeat it a few times out loud before looking away from each other. They then do it one person at a time going back and forth until they feel more comfortable doing it.

1. How to finally discover what turns us on, how to discuss turn-offs – and how to create “sex menus” with our partners.

2. The real reason so many of us don’t feel like having sex.

3. How to ask for more sex – and how to turn it down without hurting your partner.

4. Orgasm – why it’s not the whole shebang – and what to do if we’ve been faking it.

5. Glennon and Abby engage in an exercise to practice talking dirty. (Glennon has not recovered.)
