105. Restart Your Sex Life with Dr. Lori...

Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

1. Answers to fascinating sex questions from Pod Squaders–including how to get real in the bedroom after regularly faking orgasm.

2. Concrete mindfulness strategies to get out of your head and into your body, which have been proven to increase arousal and satisfaction.

3. Busting the myth about how long it should take to orgasm. 

4. Why talking about sex (including fantasies!) before having sex leads to more satisfying intimacy–and why that feels fun for Abby and impossible to Glennon and Amanda.

5. Where to start if you’ve never discussed pleasure with a partner–and Dr. Brotto’s advice to Glennon for retiring her reign as Silent Sex Queen.
