About this episode
In this conversation, Dr. Marty Klein joins me and discusses the importance of reframing the conversation around sex and challenging our ideas about sexuality. We emphasize that sex is not just a behavior, but an idea, and that our ideas about sex shape our experiences. He highlights the need for individuals to have a sense of agency and the ability to shape their own sexual experiences. We also address common conceptions people have about sex, such as the belief that it should be a continuous, seamless connection, and the exceptionalism around sexuality. He encourages a more realistic and accepting view of sexuality, where not every sexual encounter needs to be transcendent or perfect. We also talk about how foreplay is about getting mentally and emotionally tuned into the sexual experience. It's important to leave behind the cares of the day and focus on the connection with your partner. Plus, as we age, our bodies change, and it's important to adapt and explore new ways of pleasure.

It is important to challenge and examine our ideas about sexuality. Having a sense of agency and the ability to shape our own sexual experiences is crucial. Not every sexual encounter needs to be perfect or transcendent; a more realistic and accepting view of sexuality is needed. Foreplay is about mentally and emotionally preparing for sex. Planning and scheduling sex can be beneficial for busy adults. As we age, our bodies change, and it's important to adapt and explore new ways of pleasure. Knowing what you want in sex is just as important as knowing what you don't want. Sexuality is a local experience, not an express one. Communication, experimentation, and understanding your own desires are key in a satisfying sexual experience. Enjoy the show! Sponsors ...
