Narcissism & Toxic TV with Tasha Bailey

Participant #1:

You're listening to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast, Sex and relationship advice you can use tonight. Welcome to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. I'm your cohost, Brandon, and we're here with my always lovely other half, Dr. Jess. Hey, I'm really excited for this topic. Today we are going to be talking about toxic TV. I've just started watching The Ultimatum as research for this conversation. We'll also be talking about how to deal with narcissistic, partners, parents, siblings, friends with the fabulous Tasha Bailey, a creative psychotherapist, a facilitator and educator, an amazing content creator based in London, England. Her platform at RealTalk Therapist shares her knowledge of selfcare and mental health and spills the on therapy to break down the stigma of asking for help. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me. It's such a joy. I'm excited for this chat. I'm so excited to hear from you. So you're a therapist. I have to ask to begin with, what made you become a therapist? So I want to be a therapist at a very young age, which is very unusual. Most people who become therapists, it's such in the UK, it's like a second career. Like maybe you're a teacher first and you realize that actually mental health has been important. Whereas I wanted to become a therapist at the age of about 15 and it kind of transpired by Nickelodeon. There was this film called Harry at the Spy on Nickelodeon and she was like a twelve year old kid. She went to go see a child psychotherapist. And I remember being like, wow, that's a really cool job. It's just a guy sitting with toys everywhere and helping children talk about their feelings. And so from there I was like, that's the job that I want to do. And initially I only want to work with children. I never saw myself working with adults. I just want to work with children and trauma and probably that's from my own story as well.

Your Core Erotic Feeling: The Emotion You Need to Get in the Mood for Sex

How do you need to feel to get in the mood for sex?

Relaxed? Desired? Safe? Powerful? Playful? For many of us, desire doesn’t just emerge from a spark or physical touch—it’s rooted in a deep emotional need. This feeling is what I call your Core Erotic Feeling (CEF)—the emotion you must experience in order to access desire and arousal.

Identifying your CEF can change the way you approach sex, seduction, and even self-pleasure. It can help you understand why certain encounters feel thrilling while others fall flat. It can also illuminate differences in libido between partners, not as a deficit, but as an opportunity for emotional connection.

If you or your partner struggle to get in the mood, or if erotic touch alone doesn’t seem to do the trick, this episode of the Sex with Dr. Jess Podcast offers a new framework to help you explore the emotional-erotic connection—one that may lead to hotter, more fulfilling sex.

Why Does Your Core Erotic Feeling Matter?

Your core erotic feeling is essential because it underpins your experience of desire. For some, it’s feeling adored or safe. For others, it might be feeling confident, challenged, or even powerful. Once you identify your unique CEF, you can begin to cultivate environments—and relationships—that support that emotional foundation.

For example, if your CEF is feeling relaxed, then it's worth examining what helps you relax and what derails that process. From daily habits to relationship dynamics, each piece influences your access to desire.

For more on how stress and responsibility affect arousal, especially in parents and busy couples, check out our guide to eroticizing daily interactions.

How to Discover Your Core Erotic Feeling

Ask yourself:

How do I like to feel before sex?

What puts me in the mood?

What emotional experience am I often fantasizing about?

How do I want to feel during and after sex?

If you reflect on these questions and revisit past peak erotic moments, you’ll likely find a pattern. That pattern is your gateway to arousal.

We break this down in detail—along with next steps to make space for your CEF—in our video course Mindful Sex.

Let Toys Help You Tap Into the Feeling

Sometimes, sensual tools can amplify emotional responses. If your CEF is rooted in feeling powerful, the We-Vibe Rave or Nova 2 might offer the type of deep, rhythmic stimulation that aligns with your internal needs.

You asked, we delivered—Part II is here! In this episode, we're diving into multiple orgasms for people with clitorises, exploring everything from pressure-free pleasure to pulse-and-squeeze techniques and slowgasms. If you're looking for more consistent, satisfying, or just new orgasmic experiences, you're in the right place.

How can I use my breath to explore multiple orgasms?

Are there different types of multiple orgasms?

How many orgasms can you have in one session?

How do I have full-body orgasms?

We explore these questions and more while sharing techniques and strategies for more pleasure (and more orgasms), from the “cup and pulse” technique to the blended orgasm, you’re sure to find something new to try whether your partnered or solo.

What Are Multiple Orgasms?

Multiple orgasms refer to orgasms that occur successively during a single sexual experience. They may happen back-to-back or spaced out, and they can differ in intensity and sensation. While some describe each orgasm as building in intensity, others report waves that ebb and flow.

Please do not feel pressure to have multiples. Just focus on what feels good for your body, and play without pressure.

How to Have Multiple Orgasms

Change Techniques or Pathways

Switch up stimulation styles. If clitoral stimulation usually gets you off, try G-spot stimulation next. You can even alternate between areas like nipples, perineum, or inner thighs. The goal is to wake up different nerve pathways.

Use a Toy to Vibe Through It

Consider using a toy designed for clitoral suction like the Womanizer Enhance (with it's Orgasm guarantee!). Or go for pinpointed pleasure with the We-Vibe Tango.

Pulse & Squeeze

As you orgasm, pulse the vulva with your hand or a toy and squeeze your thighs together. This may intensify contractions and could lead to another orgasm. You can also contract your pelvic floor muscles to keep the pleasure going.

Explore Slowgasms

Slow down—way down. As Brandon noted in the podcast, slowing down helped him notice changes in sensation, temperature, and even sound. Slowing breath and movement can deepen your connection to the moment and open up new orgasmic territory.

Exploring Kink with Luna Matatas & Marla Renee Stewart

Dominance, Emotional Kink & Pain-Play 101

Whether you’re new to kink or seasoned in sensual rituals, Luna Matatas and Marla Renee Stewart are two of the most welcoming, informed, and intentional educators you could hope to learn from. They join us on the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast to offer a taste of what you can expect from their Kinky Tapas retreat — a beginner-friendly immersion into the world of dominance, submission, emotional kink, and psychological play.

Their Oakland retreat (hosted in not one but two dungeons) includes a full range of topics from spanking to sensation play, and from confidence-building to psychological aftercare. There’s even kinky photography, catered meals, and optional genital worship and torture demos. Yes, really.

What Is Psychological Kink and Why Does It Matter?

As Luna shares, many folks assume that being dominant means being harsh or aggressive, but dominance (like kink) is not one-size-fits-all. It can be nurturing, playful, affirming, and even downright silly. Want to begin exploring? Start with how you want to feel: powerful, adored, surrendered, or commanding. Then weave those feelings into practices you already enjoy, like oral sex, massage, or dirty talk, and layer in a bit of power exchange.

And as we discuss in the episode, emotional kink isn’t just a subset of BDSM; it can be the entire dynamic. Some folks, like myself, find intense arousal in emotional role play, themes of rejection, longing, jealousy, and submission,not because we’re damaged, but precisely because we feel safe, secure, and loved. That contrast creates a powerful erotic charge.

Dominance vs. Topping: What’s the Difference?

Marla clarifies an essential distinction that many overlook: topping and bottoming refer to acts, while dominance and submission relate to roles and relationships. You can be a top without being someone’s Dominant. You can be a bottom and still set the agenda. You can even top from the bottom, giving instructions while appearing submissive. In kink, nuance is everything, and communication is your ultimate tool.
