248: Hot sexting! How & when to sext, and more on sexual communication (ft. Dr. Tara)

Curious about sexting, or how to bring it up/do it in the context of a new dating relationship? Maybe it's an edge you'd like to push, or maybe you're not even sure what it really is . (Hint: it can also spice up your marriage/long-term committed relationship.) Dr. Tara grew up in sexually conservative Thailand, and went through her own sexual awakening over the course of years. Here we cover her fun, sexy journey from Catholic schoolgirl to full-on, liberated tenured professor of sexual communication -- not to mention her happy relationship to her current husband. We also talk about trust and safety in relationship, the 3 questions to include in a "sexual check-in" in a relationship, how a sex store in LA changed Dr. Tara's life, and how to be hot instead of creepy when it comes to dick pics. Memorable quotes from this episode: “I married a resume husband that I never had sexual chemistry with.” “Shock and awe — there are so many cock sizes!?” “I didn’t have enough sexual self-esteem to pursue what was right for me.” “One of the best ways to help women feel more sexually empowered is to encourage self-pleasure.” --- Mentioned on this episode: Dr. Tara's site Better Sex Through Mindfulness by Lori Brotto 5-minute sexual meditation on YouTube
