When the Female Orgasm Leaves Him Speechless (The Edge)

Kelly and Chip are back—well, sort of. After realizing Chip had literally nothing to add to Kelly’s deep dive with sex expert Kim Anami about the female orgasm, we decided to take a different approach. The sexual conversation continues... Kelly and Chip talk to intimacy expert, Susan Bratton, on all things intimacy and sex. Kelly inquires about why sex is the one area of our lives that we don't put the growth work into like we do everything else. Chip discovers new questions about sexual soulmates. Susan also talks about her own journey from being unsatisfied sexually in her marriage and finally speaking up to her husband and choosing intimacy over divorce. She gives tips on taking the sexual growth step solo or with your partner to keep evolving sexually. The purpose of this conversation is to normalize a topic that has become so "taboo" to discuss yet is a fixture in every person's day to day life. Susan teaches that there is beauty in learning together, even if it is a bit uncomfortable first. Socials: @susanbrattonWebsite: susanbratton.com Watch us on YouTube!
