Episode notes
Start By Naming Your Fantasies
- Identify and explore your sexual fantasies to discover what excites you.
- Articulate and ask for those fantasies to increase the chance of experiencing them with your partner.
Rename Fantasy To Reduce Shame
- Reframe 'fantasy' language to 'tastes' or 'preferences' to lower shame and access desires.
- Fantasies often seek novelty because daily life lacks it, so small changes can spark arousal.
Use Shops And Books To Spark Novelty
- Explore novelty through sex-toy stores or quality online shops to generate ideas and reduce overwhelm.
- Use simple books or beginner guides to learn small, practical ways to expand sexual play.
