094 WHAT IS GOOD SEX?

Sex therapist and author Emma Waring joins me for an episode in which we pull back the covers on our sex lives. It is an area of life that we are often uncomfortable talking about and yet something that is so vital to our health and wellbeing, not to mention our relationships.

In this episode we discuss:

The value of sex and intimacy
Dealing with previous sexual trauma
Loss of libido and ways we can build it up
Managing children at home, exhaustion and a busy work life
Common barriers to intimacy – physical / psychological
Sex drive and when they don't match
Practical tips on how to move from the place of sexual negativity, through to sexual positivity
Orgasms, how they work for women
Hollywood and porn, how we have been misguided by media
What is good sex? What is enough sex? What are we looking to achieve?

Emma's book is called Seasons of Sex and Intimacy
