Episode 379: Life Is Too Short For Bad Sex (Essential Listen)


Listen Later

Nothing makes us lose desire for sex faster than having bad sex. Indeed, many cases of low sexual desire are simply due to people having sex that isn’t worth having. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the three main types of bad sex, what it means to have good sex, and how to stop having bad sex.

Today, we’re revisiting a fantastic conversation I had with Dr. Kelly Casperson back in episode 128. Kelly is a urologist, sex educator, author, and podcaster whose mission is empowering women to live their best love lives. She combines education, humor, and candor in her book and podcast, both of which are titled, You Are Not Broken.

Some of the specific topics we explore include:

  • What are the three main kinds of bad sex?
  • How can we stop thinking of sex as something we’re obligated to do?
  • Why is it bad idea to think of sex as a bargaining tool?
  • What kind of sex should we be aiming for?
  • How can we get closer to having good (or “good enough”) sex?
  • You can check out Kelly’s website to learn more about her work.
