Whether you're having sex with a long-time partner(s) or having hookups, you have what Ian Kerner, PhD LFMT calls a sex script, both your own and one you co-create with your partner(s). And gaining awareness about your scripts can go a long way.
A few things you'll learn about in the episode:
- Why Ian says to all of his sex therapy patients, So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex (which is also the title of his new book!)
- What a sex scripts entails
- How David and Kate, a couple in their mid-30s, found their way to pleasurable sex by unpacking their personal histories
- How Jonathan and Chris, a couple in their 40s, saved their relationship and sex life by cultivating a "rec-relational" style
