264: How do we learn about sex? (ft. Yuval Mann)

Was your family skilled at teaching you about sex? Was your school, or your religious community?

HA.

I'm guessing not.

Many families of origin suck at talking about sex, dating, and relationships. And whether you grew up in a religious house or not, sex education tends to also be subpar, especially when it comes to teaching about sexual communication.

How do you ask a partner for what you really want? How do you tell someone they're missing the mark when it comes to something sexual (like oral sex, or something about intercourse).

On this episode we talk about all that, as well as how the #MeToo movement has impacted all of us. And we touch on how to overcome sexual shame. A particularly memorable quote from that section:

“I turned my shame into vulnerability.”

Finally, we touch on porn in this episode, and the other podcast episode I reference is:

DM 112: How this man overcame porn addiction

(If you've felt a little iffy about your relationship with pornography, give that one a listen, as well. You may find it illuminating.)

We love working with men who are ready to do the work!
