How Your Brain Sabotages Your Sex Life! l Dr. Daniel Amen Explains

How Your Brain Sabotages Your Sex Life! l Dr. Daniel Amen Explains

In this episode of Sex with Emily, renowned psychiatrist and brain expert Dr. Daniel Amen joins us to explore how our "hidden dragons", the unconscious patterns from our past, are secretly controlling our happiness, relationships, and sex lives. Based on his latest book, "Your Brain is Always Listening," Dr. Amen reveals how childhood experiences, family trauma, and even ancestral patterns get written into our brains and show up in our intimate relationships. We dive deep into the most common dragons people face, including the anxious dragon, the abandoned and insignificant dragon, and the codependent dragon. Dr. Amen shares his personal journey with these patterns and explains how understanding your dragons can transform not just your mental health, but your sexual wellness too. We explore the connection between brain health and sexual function, why ADD can impact orgasms, and how negative thought patterns become "bad habits" that sabotage intimacy. This episode includes practical tools like positivity bias training, the power of rewriting your story, and specific breathing techniques that can reset your nervous system. Dr. Amen also addresses a listener's question about cheating addiction and explains how brain scans revealed the neurological patterns behind compulsive behavior. Whether you're struggling with commitment issues, sexual anxiety, or just want to understand how your brain affects your love life, this conversation offers both scientific insights and actionable strategies for creating healthier relationships.

SWE: Initiating Sex

SWE: Initiating Sex

A lot of women out there are intimidated by initiating sex, and even more men are tired of putting in the work. Thankfully, Emily's here to explain how women can ask for it without asking for it, and how men can better set the mood. From porn and sexting to fantasies and massages, it's time to step up your game when it comes to scoring. Emily and Menace discuss the effects of being on Bravo, being reviewed by the Parents' Council and being called "Strident", talking about cock rings on national television, and the weirdness of old flames suddenly calling them up.  A Chinese village ascribes magical powers to a subterranean masturbation sleeve, and Sweden built an app to let you test out sex with your Facebook friends. A male listener can't unwrap his head around a partner's past, and it's affecting his confidence in bed. A foot fetishist writes in to explain the sexual appeal of podiatry. When a guy who doesn't call after two dates suddenly wants to reconnect, Emily and Menace take different approaches to the dilemma. Menace uses astrology to explain a lot of Emily's problems, and Emily thinks Menace has some "early ball trauma," which prompts some personal delving on his part. Finally, Menace would give up sex for a year for the 4 Alarm Double Decker Taco, but Emily is hard pressed to decide what she'd give up sex for. Enjoy the show!
