Episode notes
Prioritizing Sex
- Prioritize sex in your relationship, even if it's just one aspect of it.
- When sex isn't working, it often indicates a deeper disconnect in the relationship.
Emotional Intimacy
- The greatest predictor of sexual satisfaction for women is emotional intimacy and connection with their partner.
- This is more important than physical aspects like orgasm frequency or partner endowment.
Disconnection as Protection
- Women's disconnection during sex is often a protective mechanism against vulnerability, inhibitions, trauma, or disassociation.
- This disconnection can stem from past experiences and ingrained beliefs about sex.
