I admire and look to Dr. McCarthy as a mentor for his work to empower men to enjoy their sexuality, freedom of choice, and to challenge the pressures men have to experience sex in a specific way.

Dr. McCarthy shares how leaning into sex as sharing pleasure between partners, and letting go of the emotional need for total predictability and control, can deepen your own feelings of pleasure and allow you to continue to be sexual and playful with your partner.

Vulnerabilities and concerns do not define your worth, they encourage you to deepen your relationships with yourself and your partner. Living authentically is through recognizing sexual freedom is about having choice and feeling free to engage or disengage- the choice to say yes and no to sex or stimulation and to know your veto is accepted and respected.

I am so proud to share Dr. McCarthy’s wisdom with you in this episode.

Dr. Barry McCarthy is a board-certified clinical psychologist and diplomate in sex therapy who practiced for 42 years and taught human sexuality for 50 years. His latest book is Contemporary Male Sexuality (which I highly recommend!)

We cover topics like:

• Male sexuality and challenge the current myths
• When and how to talk sex with your partner
• Sexual equity and finding synchronicity in sex
• Vulnerabilities and male sexual pain
• Hot facts about sexuality after age 60
