(0:00:00) - Talking About Sex Comfortably (8 Minutes)
Moe Ari & Tiffany talk about the discomfort and nervousness that can arise when discussing sex. We discuss why it can be difficult to talk about sex, even when it is something that brings pleasure - the lack of conversation around it, internalized shame around pleasure, and the misconception that sex is something that only men are interested in. We also reflect on the power of having those difficult conversations and how they can lead to more pleasure and more connection.
(0:07:48) - Misconceptions About Sexual Pleasure (16 Minutes)
Expectations around arousal can be damaging, and traditional understanding of sex has been limited to penetrative sex. Messages of shame, discomfort, and projections can lead to silencing conversations around sex. It is important to talk about sex, as it can be a core part of our human experience. We also acknowledge those who do not experience sexual attraction or arousal.
(0:24:06) - The Importance of Communication in Intimacy (7 Minutes)
We explore the importance of communication when it comes to sex and relationships. We discuss the need to have conversations with your partner about sex and how to ensure they are on the same page as you. We talk about how talking about sex can be vulnerable but also an adventure. We also explore how assumptions about what someone likes or doesn’t like can lead to uncomfortable and unenjoyable experiences and how having these conversations is important to get what you need and want. And finally, we emphasize the need to understand yourself before being able to show someone else what you like.
