Emily Nagoski on What Happy Couples Know That Others Don’t

Sleeping Around

This week, Emily Nagoski (THE Emily Nagoski ah) and I explore what makes pleasure thrive in relationships by looking at how we can build stronger, more fulfilling connections.

We also tackle questions like: 

What are the ingredients to a satisfying long-term sexual relationship? 

What if I don’t know what I like? How to experience pleasure? 

Why do couples with great sex lives talk about it so openly? 

And THEN in the Patreon extended version, we additionally discuss how to orgasm with a partner and whether or not you can ruin sensation with vibrator over-use. You don’t want to miss this one.
