What is the difference between sex and sensuality? Do you have trouble getting out of your head and into your body during sex? In this episode, Valeria shares how her relationship to sex has changed over the years. She talks with sex educators, authors, and podcast hosts Shan Boodram and Dr. Emily Nagoski to learn how to deepen her sense of sensuality. Tune in to learn about what we often get wrong about sexual attraction, the brain chemistry behind getting turned on, and how joy and confidence, according to Dr. Nagoski, can create satisfaction in bed.
