150. Sex is mental, not just physical ft. Gina Gutierrez

50m · The Psychology of your 20s · 08 Dec 05:23

Often when we think about sex, we only think about the physical. We only think about the other person's enjoyment or what sex should look like rather than what it could look like. Many of us have a very outdated understanding of what good, even great sex feels like and even less of an idea around how to achieve greater levels of pleasure and intimacy.

In today's episode, we bring on the incredible Gina Gutierrez, co-founder of the audio erotica app, Dipsea to discuss how we can use story telling, fantasy, self exploration and mental imagery to have better sex in our 20s. We uncover the psychology behind why we love romance novels, how libido and desire changes (and improves) as we reach our 30s and some of the outdated, misconceptions about sex that we need to debunk.

We often think the secret to not being passive in our lives is to fill up our days, set countless goals, always be striving for progress and productivity.

  • What it beens to be passive vs. active vs. intentional
  • How to create momentum

Even when I'm sick I can't slow down, and I don't think I'm alone.

We also discuss how I'm finding living alone, a little relationship update and how it feels to have finished my book! All that and more, listen now!
