"Shame Around Masturbation Ruins Your Sex Life"

Solo sex is one of the most powerful tools you have for better partnered sex — and most people are barely scratching the surface. In this throwback episode, Dr. Emily makes the case for why your relationship with yourself might be the most important sexual relationship you'll ever have. From finding out what actually turns you on to using masturbation as a way to manage stress and boost confidence, Emily covers everything you need to know about flying solo — including how to bring toys into the mix without awkwardness. She also takes listener calls about navigating different libidos in relationships, dealing with performance anxiety, and figuring out how to ask for what you want in bed. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why masturbation is essential for sexual self-awareness — not just a fallback when you're single • How to explore fantasies and toys on your own so you can communicate better with partners • The connection between solo pleasure, stress relief, and overall sexual confidence More Dr. Emily: • Shop With Emily!
