The Sex and Intimacy Revolution with Dr. Emily Morse

The Gently Used Human with Dr. Scott Lyons

In a world brimming with information, why is it that the dialogue around our sexual well-being remains so stifled? Have you ever wondered why conversations about sex and pleasure often feel like navigating a minefield of awkwardness and taboo? How can we break through the barriers of silence to cultivate relationships that thrive on open communication and profound pleasure?

To help answer these questions, Dr. Scott is joined by Dr. Emily Morse, the bestselling author of Hot Sex and Smart Sex and host of the number one sexuality podcast, Sex with Emily. Emily has dedicated her career to demystifying the world of sex and pleasure, advocating for honest and open communication as the cornerstone for a vibrant sexual relationship.

Together, they explore the reasons behind our collective hesitation to talk about sex, the benefits of expanding our understanding of what sex can do, and the practical steps we can take to enhance intimacy and pleasure in our lives. They tackle how to address pleasure thieves like stress, trauma, and shame and discuss the power of mindfulness in creating a safe space for those important conversations. Whether you're curious about navigating your desires, exploring fantasies, or simply looking to enrich the sexual aspects of your relationship, you're in the right place.

Let's get it on.
