The Gently Used Human with Dr. Scott Lyons The Sex and Intimacy Revolution with Dr. Emily Morse
In a world brimming with information, why is it that the dialogue around our sexual well-being remains so stifled? Have you ever wondered why conversations about sex and pleasure often feel like navigating a minefield of awkwardness and taboo? How can we break through the barriers of silence to cultivate relationships that thrive on open communication and profound pleasure?
To help answer these questions, Dr. Scott is joined by Dr. Emily Morse, the bestselling author of Hot Sex and Smart Sex and host of the number one sexuality podcast, Sex with Emily.

They tackle how to address pleasure thieves like stress, trauma, and shame and discuss the power of mindfulness in creating a safe space for those important conversations. Whether you're curious about navigating your desires, exploring fantasies, or simply looking to enrich the sexual aspects of your relationship, you're in the right place.
