Talking Sex in a New Relationship! – Episode 85

Beginning a new relationship is always a new and exciting time for everyone involved! And in the midst of all this excitement, you grow to care more about this person and begin to share sexual experiences!

So why do you need to talk about sex in a new relationship?

For a bunch of reasons, really! Having “that” conversation allows you to open up about your past and any important experiences you want to share with your partner. It also ensures that they know where you stand on a myriad of sexual matters and emotional matters. Talking about sex with your up-and-coming main squeeze allows you to set the stage for the rest of the relationship, by being honest, open, and raw!

In order to share what you want, you have to know what you want! Also, be sure to talk about some of the sexual safety issues that might arrive, especially going to get tested for STDs together!

Alcohol and Sex: Pros and Cons – Episode 79

Alcohol and sex are often mixed together, sometimes with great sexual outcomes and sometimes with not-so-great ones!

This episode is for those of you that have ever thought about having a drink or two to loosen up the gears in the bedroom… Or have already tried it!

Join me as I talk about some of the pros:

  • Physical and sexual relaxation
  • Letting go of inhibitions and worries or preoccupations
  • Feeling more sensitive to and excited by touch

And some of the cons:

  • Too much bodily relaxation depresses the system and sometimes makes genitals function “below capacity”
  • You might get too sleepy
  • You are more inclined to make risky sexual choices or to be in situations where others might take advantage of you

Your Sexual History: How Negative Sexual Experiences Shape You – Episode 73

This episode continues the Your Sexual History series, and begins the focus on how negative experiences can shape you. Of course positive ones can too, but I wanted to begin the discussion with some of the ways that sexuality can “go bad” or cause you to bear “erotic wounds.” In future episodes we will talk about the flip side to negative sexual experiences… Positive ones.

Since it is often more difficult to discuss our negative experiences, it can also be a good place to start. Although they shape us and can influence who we are, the more we talk about them as reality, the more we can start to reframe our ideas about our sexuality by understanding issues that we have that we might need to overcome to find our best sexual selves.

In this episode we’ll look at the following issues affecting women and their sexuality:

  • Rape/assault
  • Interactions with creepy people
  • Imagery/sexual violence in the media
  • “Bad” sexual experiences
  • An unwanted pregnancy or abortion

Difficult though it may be to discuss, we have to start somewhere…

Sexual Safety: Way Beyond the Condom – Episode 60

Safe sex is something that is so important to explain to your children and the people that you love in your life.

This episode is a perfect reminder of the many ways that sexual safety can be maintained… It goes so much further than simply protecting yourself against STDs and/or pregnancy. Be sure think about: Choosing a partner that will respect you and take care of you.

  • Being comfortable requesting and/or demanding what you want and depserve from your relationship or sexual liaison.
  • Feeling prepared to say no if anything feels wrong to you, whether you are in a long term relationship or simply having a fun fling.
  • Picking a “safe” word to use with your partner is things go in a direction you dislike.
  • Meeting your physical and emotional needs after sex (i.e. talking or cleaning your body parts!).

Remember, sexual safety goes so much farther than using a condom… It’s a way of being!
