We’re revving up our “O” engines by talking about masturbation and its benefits. This week, we invite ex-Passionately Yours event manager, Kat Leung into our Narnian closet of sexual disclosure (i.e. recording studio) to exchange early masturbation memories and fantasies. Sara talks about why women tend to start masturbating later than men, and shares some tips for getting started. So make a “masturbation date” with us, and tune in. But be warned, you may never look at a hairbrush the same way again! --- Want to get even Better in Bed? Download the audio guide.  Follow us on Instagram. Detailed show notes for  this episode here.

Why do we feel jealous? Jealousy is often a complex, catch-all word that encompasses the emotions of fear, anxiety, disappointment, or anger.   Some people romanticize this feeling in relationships. Others use jealousy as a justification for controlling and destructive behaviour.   On this episode, Sara sits down with Emily, Dedeker, and Jase, the hosts of the Multiamory Podcast (https://www.multiamory.com/), to unpack the topic of jealousy.   We start off by defining what jealousy is, and sharing candid personal experiences to show it’s a familiar, normal feeling.   Instead of trying to avoid or repress jealousy at all costs, Emily, Dedeker and Jase provide a healthy perspective and evidence-based tools on how to deal with jealousy, based on their own relationship research.   Ultimately, feeling some jealousy could be a sign that there’s something you need to work on in a relationship with a partner or on yourself. And it’s crucial to do some self-reflection to identify the root cause of the emotion.   This episode is filled with practical advice about navigating difficult emotions in relationships. Tune in now to understand what your jealous feelings are telling you, and how you can manage them the next time you experience it.   ---     Unlock the secrets to female orgasm   http://sarasense.com/ohhh.

58. Managing Jealousy in Relationships ft. Multiamory

Yoni massage, which has its origins in Tantra, has recently been getting a lot of attention in the sexual wellness space.    What is the meaning of Yoni anyway? It’s Sanskrit term that means “sacred portal” and it represents all the female genital parts - the vulva, vagina, womb and feminine essence.   On this episode, Sara is joined by her sex-positive friend Will and Viv Kan (https://www.mindfulintimacy.co), a mindful intimacy coach. They discuss the benefits of yoni massage, what the experience is like and how to incorporate this practice in our intimate lives.    For some, a yoni massage can be used to release emotions or trauma stuck in the pelvic area. And for others, it can be the start of a sexual awakening.    Both Sara and Viv share their memorable experiences around Yoni massages, and how orgasm is not the end goal but an exploration of one’s body and sexual empowerment.    Viv also breaks down how to give yourself or someone else a Yoni massage — from setting the stage to exploring the different parts of female genitals. There are a bunch of practical tips in this episode.    Be inspired to embrace your sensuality and awaken pleasure with this liberating practice by tuning into this episode.   ------   -   Support this show on Patreon http://patreon.com/betterinbed   -   Visit Sarasense website http://sarasense.com   -   Follow @hellosarasense on Instagram   -   Check out our sponsors that help keep this show free: OhMiBod (http://lovelifetoys.com) - 15% off with code BETTERINBED and Adam & Eve (http://adameve.com) - 50% off & free shipping with code BETTERINBED   -    Detailed show notes for this episode at http://sarasense.com/podcast
