You Could Be Having Better Sex feat. Dr. Nicole McNichols

Consider this episode Better Sex 101. We are joined by Dr. Nicole McNichols, hailed America’s #1 sex professor, for an in-depth discussion about how to level up your pleasure, starting with yourself and understanding the hierarchy of sexual needs. We talk about libido fluctuating over time and the factors that affect it, what sexual mindfulness is and how to practice it, how to work through body image issues, and the small but simple life hacks for better sex. Then we discuss sex in long-term relationships – why planning sex is hot and leads to higher sexual satisfaction, how to keep falling in love with your partner, the different types of intimacy, why "distance makes the heart grow fonder” is a myth, and if couples can get freakier later in life. We then dive into the dynamics of casual sex (why it’s not for everyone and how to know if it’s for you) and Gen Z (why they’re having less sex but may be more intentional about it, porn problems, and more). Before Nicole joins us, we catch up on Rayna’s bodysuit malfunction, Ashley’s elite concert experience, and we have another gift opening on air. Enjoy!
