Degrees of Health Ian Kerner, PhD | Let’s Talk About Sex (Seriously, It’s Important)
Why are we scheduling dentist appointments but not sex? How do we tackle desire discrepancies—when one of us is in the mood while the other is wondering what’s on Netflix? And why is "performance anxiety" such a thing?!
Ready to dive into the nitty-gritty of what really makes relationships tick? We sit down with Ian Kerner - he’s got the answers to all those questions you probably didn’t ask at your last dinner party. From how common it is for couples to be inches apart physically but miles apart emotionally, to the very real consequences of deprioritising sexual attraction, this conversation is a masterclass in sex and intimacy.
We go into:
📢 Why sexual compatibility should be a top priority in relationships
🪜 Bridging the gap in desire differences
⏰ Performance anxiety and the male obsession with "lasting longer"
👑 The clitoris as queen: closing the orgasm gap
📅 Scheduling sex: Unsexy or genius?
👴👵 Keeping the flame alive in long-term relationships
We see all of you out there experiencing this and not asking the questions. So we did it for you. You're welcome! Watch, listen, take note, maybe even try a new approach. Whether you're in a relationship, looking for one, or just curious, this conversation might start you thinking that there's another way to think about sex for your relationship health - and it could just be better than what you've got now...
And let us know - what do you think? What other questions do you have? "Is it normal that...?" Has it helped? Are there more obstacles?
