The Right Way to Have Sex

Is there a right way to have sex? Everybody thinks they’re doing it wrong or someone else is doing it better. There’s so much shame surrounding sex. Today on the Soul of Life I speak with two Brooklyn psychologists, Signe Simon and Simone Humphrey about their podcast, LoveLink, founded to help people talk more about sex and love. We talk about really common reasons people have problems with sexual intimacy, and challenge the traditional norms around penetration and orgasm. What happens before sex? What happens during sex? What happens after sex? What’s the appetizer, what’s the entrée, what’s the dessert? We talk about the power of discovering the difference between arousal and desire. A lot of women in heterosexual couples come in and say, “I just don’t really want to have sex. I have really low desire. Something is wrong with me.” The problem is that the standard of arousal is spontaneous desire. That’s what we’re taught in movies. That’s what we’re taught in day to day interactions—that we should just be turned on all the time. For men too, who have responsive desire, they also have a lot of shame. 'Well, I should just be horny all the time. I should want to have sex whenever.' We talk about how millennials are having sex, and whether marriage matter anymore? In some places, marriage is really, really on the decline. Do you feel anxiety about having one partner for the rest of your life.
