As a continuation to last week’s episode on pleasure, Skye and Amanda read Come As You are by Emily Nagowski and further explore the ways that we can better understand and embrace our sexuality.

The two break down Nagowski’s take on the dual control model of sexual response, which further explains what each of us would deem our “breaks” and “accelorators” and just how sensitive we each might be to those turn ons and turn offs. They each share their results of the sexual temperament quiz and whether or not they agree with the results. 

They also give their thoughts on the Netflix series “Sex, Love & Goop” and talk about Sexologist, Jaiya’s theory on the 5 Erotic Blueprint Types, another way for us to discover what turns us on and the actions we and our partners can take to build deeper connection and sexual compatibility.
