606. Sex with Emily on Your Best Sex: What's Holding You Back?


Listen Later

In a culture that still teaches us to deprioritize desire, Dr. Emily Morse encourages us to embrace sex as an act of wellness. 

As a renowned sex therapist and host of the #1 relationship podcast “Sex With Emily,” Emily has been leading the pleasure revolution for nearly two decades. In her new book, Smart Sex, she guides us through expanding our sexual intelligence and owning our desires.

In this episode, Emily introduces a radical new paradigm called sexual intelligence (Sex IQ). Classified into five pillars—embodiment, health, collaboration, self-knowledge, and self-acceptance—she creates a framework for how to re-educate ourselves about pleasure and honor our sexual wants. 

We also talk about:

  • What’s holding you back from having the best sex
  • How to have a conversation about your sex life
  • The five pillars of sexual intelligence 
  • How to relax your body during sex
  • What to do when your attraction shifts 
  • Non-monogamous relationships
