Examining our sexual template, these are the messages we received growing up through young-adult and adulthood that shape how we see ourselves and our sexual selves.

In this episode, we talked about rewriting that template, examining our needs for emotional and physical closeness, confronting sexually demeaning messages, incorporating sexual touch into relationships, communicating desire, having wonderful sexual experiences, and then figuring out how to revive a bedroom where nothing is happening.

I'm going to share my interview with Paige Bond LMFT from her podcast, Stubborn Love.
This conversation is about breaking sexual taboos and exploring pleasure, intimacy, and equality.

What we discuss:
  • Learning about sex
  • The mind is the biggest driving force.
  • How do you know when to rewrite your template?
  • Examining expectations of yourself
  • The importance of self-awareness and self-control
  • Starting with being intentional and realistic.
  • The journey of sexual exploration
  • The importance of creating an agreement or pact as a couple
  • Building a Sexual Buffet
  • Keeping some equality in the relationship
  • The power of sharing the load
  • Focus on the quality and voice of your needs.
