It\u2019s frustrating but true: sex isn\u2019t a button that we can automatically turn on and off. In fact, \u201csex\u201d is a catch-all term for arousal, body exploration, play, and erotic collaboration\u2014not simply penetration. So what do you do when you want to get naughty, but your body isn\u2019t on-board?\xa0\nOn today\u2019s Ask Emily show, we\u2019re taking a look at the body\u2019s response to sex, and figuring out what to do when it shuts down. Say you\u2019ve got a gag reflex around oral: does that mean no blowjobs? Nah - I\u2019ve got a trick for that. How about vaginismus, when the vulva clenches so tightly at penetration, that sex is super painful? I\u2019ve got advice! Finally, let\u2019s talk about your partners: is it kosher to use old toys with a new lover? How do you broach the subject? And when you\u2019re newly married, but the sex has serious problems, where do you turn? At the root of good sex is good communication, and on today\u2019s episode, we challenge everyone to articulate their needs, and listen to their partners.\nShow Notes:\n\nClean your toys with\xa0Uvee\n\n\nSan Diego Sexual Medicine\n\nDr. Sherry's She-ology Dilators\n\nSystem Jo Lubricants\n\n\n Hosted on Acast.
