How to get out of your head during sex! (A true story...)

Episode 68 of The Partnership Podcast delves into an intimate conversation between hosts Lauren and Trey as they candidly discuss a recent sexual encounter gone wrong! Just two days ago, they found themselves grappling with intrusive thoughts and old beliefs that threatened to derail their connection.

Trey opens up about the pressure he felt to maintain his erection, only to find himself losing it amidst the mental gymnastics of performance anxiety. Meanwhile, Lauren recounts the internal struggle of feeling pressured to climax quickly so Trey could pursue his plans for the day, only to feel a pang of inadequacy as she sensed his arousal fading.

In a raw and vulnerable exchange, they share the exact words they used to navigate feelings of fear, rejection, and inadequacy in the heat of the moment. Lauren bravely confronts her body-based beliefs surrounding pornography and wrestles with feelings of comparison to unrealistic standards.

Together, they highlight the importance of patience and understanding from partners when old wounds resurface unexpectedly. They emphasize the power of open communication and naming emotions during sexual encounters, rather than trying to navigate them silently.

Ultimately, their journey leads them to a profound realization: prioritizing pleasure over pressure unlocks a world of raunchy, wild intimacy. Through mutual support and empathy, they discover that true connection lies in embracing vulnerability and navigating the complexities of the human experience.

Join Lauren and Trey as they explore the intricacies of sexual trauma, the impact of communication in relationships, and the transformative journey from pressure to pleasure on Episode 68 of The Partnership Podcast.
