S2 / EP2 - How to Stop Faking Orgasms and Actually Start Having Them. - With Dr. Emily Morse.

In this episode of Eighty Twenty, sex educator and podcaster Emily Morse, also known on social media as “Sex With Emily”,  joins the show to discuss all things sex and pleasure. She shares insights from her 19 years of experience talking openly about intimacy and the mistakes we tend to make around sexuality due to lack of understanding and lingering shame. A major topic explored is how porn has shaped many people's ideas around sex in often inaccurate ways. Emily explains that without comprehensive sex education, porn can promote myths about women's pleasure and perpetuate dynamics that primarily serve men. The group discusses how important communication, vulnerability and information truly are for couples to have satisfying sex lives. They also cover specific ways to improve sexual wellness, such as using lube regularly, exploring solo sex to determine individual desires, and scheduling intimacy so that pleasure doesn't fade when the initial "honeymoon phase" passes in long term relationships. Emily empowers women to advocate for their own arousal, and gives guidance for partners to become more attentive, patient lovers. From debunking stigma around sex toys and lubricant to advising how to healthfully invite a third partner into the bedroom, Emily leverages decades of expertise to challenge norms and provide wisdom. Her mantra is that good sex stems from emotional connectivity, not performative acts. She offers many resources to help people mindfully pursue sexual happiness.  As a special Valentine’s Day gift to our loyal Eighty Twenty listeners, get 20% off using the Code “8020” at Emily’s web store -  shop.sexwithemily.com https://shop.sexwithemily.com/discount/8020
