Episode 253: Resolutions For Better Sex ...

DR. JUSTIN LEHMILLER
About this episode
Every time a new year rolls around, people start making resolutions for self-improvement. As you start to think about your own resolutions, consider resolving to have better sex. With the right set of resolutions, you can address problem areas in the bedroom, rekindle the spark, and start to enjoy the best sex of your life! For today's show, we're going to revisit one of Sex and Psychology’s Essential Listens, my interview with Dr. Jessica O’Reilly, which appeared back in episode 67. Dr. Jess is a Toronto-based sexologist, author, speaker, and television personality. She is host of the Sex With Dr. Jess Podcast and is the resident sexologist at Astroglide. In our original conversation, Jess and I spoke about how to keep the sexual spark alive all year long. Some of the topics we discuss include:
  • How can you get more comfortable being vocal in bed?
  • How can you suggest trying something new with your partner?
  • Why is it important to expand your definition of sex?
  • How can you incorporate more touch into daily life?
  • What should you think about resolving to do (or not do) in your sex life in the new year?
