EP321 - How To Experience Your First Breath Orgasm with Anya Laeta
Welcome to episode 321 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to be speaking with Anya Laeta. In this episode, we discuss the different ways people can experience an orgasm, understanding orgasmic breathing and we also hear a sample of a breathing exercise from Anya.Given that sex was a shameful and taboo topic in her culture, it is miraculous that her attitude toward sex was always one of curiosity and experimentation. Despite being open-minded and comfortable with sex, all her relationships would start lacking passion and excitement after about a year or so. Anya would conclude that she “fell out of love” and looked for a new relationship. Only to repeat this pattern all over 6-12 months later. Not being able to have a sustainable, fulfilling sex life made her feel like a failure in relationships. It is this challenge that ultimately led her to study human sexuality, Tantra, and relationship psychology. Understanding how her erotic mind, desire, arousal, sexual polarity, and anatomy work empowers Anya to create and re-create excitement, passion, and sexual satisfaction every day. She would be lying if she said it’s easy. Yet, having a roadmap to do it made it possible for Anya to have a happy and sexy long-term relationship that she was dreaming about. Today Anya is honored to help you meet your erotic potential and relationship needs.In this episode, you will hear: · Looking at the different ways people can experience an orgasm· Analyzing emotional v genital-based orgasms· Looking at the way your brain wires your thinking of orgasms· Understanding the concept of embodiment· What is orgasmic breathing?· Can anyone practice orgasmic breathing?· How you can learn to deepen your breath to enhance your sexual experience· A sample of a breathing exercise from Anya· Using music to enrich your breathing exercises· The different ways vulva and penis owners can benefit from these exercises 9 Foreplay Ideashttps://exciting-builder-8729.ck.page/2690c062c9Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/sexologypodcast Podcast Produced by Pete Bailey - http://petebailey.net/audioAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
