In a culture that still teaches us to deprioritize desire, Dr. Emily Morse encourages us to embrace sex as an act of wellness.

As a renowned sex therapist and host of the #1 relationship podcast “Sex With Emily,” Emily has been leading the pleasure revolution for nearly two decades. In her new book, Smart Sex, she guides us through expanding our sexual intelligence and owning our desires.

In this episode, Emily introduces a radical new paradigm called sexual intelligence (Sex IQ). Classified into five pillars—embodiment, health, collaboration, self-knowledge, and self-acceptance—she creates a framework for how to re-educate ourselves about pleasure and honor our sexual wants.

We also talk about:

What’s holding you back from having the best sex
How to have a conversation about your sex life
The five pillars of sexual intelligence
How to relax your body during sex
What to do when your attraction shifts
Non-monogamous relationships
