DR. JUSTIN LEHMILLER
About this episode

If you want to get better at sex, what do you need to know? In today’s show, we’re talking all about how men can become better lovers, including how to build sexual confidence, how to deal with performance pressure, as well as tips and tricks for improving your sexual technique.

My guest today is Caitlin V, a sex and relationship coach specializing in helping men overcome sexual difficulties. With over 150MM views on YouTube and nearly a million subscribers, she has become a leading voice in the field. Her TV show, Good Sex, is available for streaming now on Discovery+ and Max.

Some of the topics we explore include:

  • What are some things men can do to cultivate their sexual confidence?
  • How can men focus more on pleasure instead of getting fixated on performance?
  • How can changing up your masturbation routine help when it comes to having better partnered sex?
  • What are some ways you can get better at using your hands during sex?

You can check out Caitlin’s website to learn more about her work.
