ABOUT THE HOST

Katie McNamara - London.

I started Single Sounds to create a new fun method of dating as I felt that there is now little variety with how to meet people. I absolutely love podcasts and believe in the strong sense of self you can get from them so I thought it was perfect for a dating medium.

As I like to say this podcast is for people who have too much personality for a dating app.

Sponsored by LUVISS

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·      Reconnecting with your sexual energy starts with self-discovery and understanding your wants, needs, and boundaries.

·      Communication is key to great sex; listen to your partner's bodily cues and tailor your technique to their individual desires.

·      Lube and sex toys are your teammates, not your competition; embrace them to enhance your sexual experiences.

·      Explore your kinks and fetishes by talking openly with friends and partners, and remember that shame perpetuates in silence.

·      Attend sex parties with an open mind and clear intentions. You don't have to have sex if you don't want to.

·      Confidence and communication are essential for feeling more present and satisfied in the bedroom.

·      Self-knowledge and self-acceptance are the foundation for a fulfilling sex life and better relationships with yourself and others.

BEST MOMENTS

"The best way you can improve your sexual performance is communication. We're not a copy and paste of each other."

"Lube is lit. Lube is amazing. I don't know if anyone has ever tried to use a penetrative sex toy without lube. Like, don't do that."

"If you want to feel more present in the bedroom, if you want to have more exciting experiences, explore these kinds of things, so much of it comes down to communication and confidence."

"Shame proliferates in silence. If you don't have these conversations, you could be sitting there being like, 'I really want someone to pee on me, but no one wants to.”
