Episode notes

One option is to come clean with your partner, sharing the reasons why you started faking orgasms and allowing them to have their feelings about it. This may be challenging, but it can lead to a huge relief and an opportunity to regroup. Alternatively, you can tell a white lie about your changing body and the need to explore new things sexually. This option can still help reset your sex life while sparing your partner's feelings. Ultimately, being open and honest is advised, but the chosen approach depends on the circumstances.

Sex Therapist Vanessa Marin is back on the pod to discuss how we can all make sex more ENJOYABLE. She shares with us:

How we can stop faking our orgasms and experiment with real pleasure;
How to communicate honestly with our partners about what we want in bed; and
Why masturbation can be an opportunity for self-exploration and reclamation.

She also offers empowering advice for individuals recovering from sexual trauma.

Plus, Glennon contemplates writing erotica.
