487. Sexual Pleasure + Clearing Blocks in Partnership

Sex carries so much currency in our internal and external landscapes. For many, sexuality is cloaked in shame, fear, or heady expectations that leave us feeling short-changed and disempowered. Fortunately, the tides are shifting with the help of pioneers like Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a sex therapist helping people integrate the physical and emotional components of sex, sexuality, and relationships. True sexual embodiment is a journey, not a destination (the same can be said for orgasms). This conversation undresses all the topics you’ve probably been thinking about but were too scared to utter out loud. Krista, Lindsey, and Dr. Kate candidly untangle the narrative surrounding porn, patriarchy, and partnerships while boldly confronting the common intimacy challenges in modern relationships today. We also talk about: How the nervous system affects pleasure Navigating expectations around sex Exploring blocks in partnership Why couples therapy works The spectrum of sex positivity Patriarchy and internalized misogyny Desire, fetish, and ethical porn Tips for elevating your sexual practice Processing sexual trauma Sponsors: Zocdoc | Search for local doctors who take your insurance.
