204. Sexual Intelligence: What we really want from sex and how to get it


Listen Later

Joining me for the second time on the podcast is world renowned sex therapist, Dr. Marty Klein – Author and sex therapist to Silicon Valley.

If you want our first episode together check out Episode 169 – where we discuss his book “His porn her pain”


Today we are discussing his amazing book: “Sexual Intelligence: What we really

want from sex and how to get it”. This book is 10 years old and still completely relevant. And
he is still being interviewed about it!

 

What is sexual intelligence and why did it need to be

written about?

 

“For a lot of people, sex is an opportunity to fail” – Dr.

Marty Klein

 

How do you navigate when one partner wants something and the

other doesn’t – oral during a period, PIV sex, kink?

 

What is your opinion about the “low desire” epidemic and the

meds for low desire.

 

“Most people leave sex for when they are too tired to do

anything else” – Dr. Marty Klein

 

“In a world that is filled with ice cream and Netflix….why

would anyone want sex?” – Dr. Marty Klein

 

You say in the book PIV has symbolic meaning for hetero

people – can you talk about why this limits us?

 

What to do when sex is boring?

 

What to do with a partner who won’t communicate about sex?

Stonewalling?

 

26:13 Why Dr. Klein doesn’t like the term erectile dysfunction.

 

I’m not attracted to my partner any more – they gained

weight or are getting older – any help?

 

Tips for desire discrepancy. Communication and more touch.
