Alright everyone, enjoy this episode. Here's a few tips to make doggy sale more intimate.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I know it's also the go toto position for a lot of couples. I think with these tips I'm going to give you actually go for any couples and go for two guys, two women, and had our sexual couples. So let me just say that ahead of time. I think that a lot of men love that it offers a really good view and they're in control of the depth and the speed of the penetration. But how do you make it more intimate? How do you make it so everyone's really connected during this position? So the sandwich doggy style position. So if you're the receiver, you're lying flat in the bed,
Starting point is 00:03:14 and you're stomach with the legs closed, and then your partner gets a top view and your partner's legs are outside of yours as your partner enters from behind. So this position is less about like thrusting in and out and it's more about really connecting as your partner enters from behind. So this position is less about like thrusting in and out and it's more about really connecting with your partner. And also for women having your legs closer together if you're on the bottom line and your stomach it offers tighter friction which can make it more enjoyable for women. I know that this is something that I had to
Starting point is 00:03:40 learn later in life but I'm so glad I did that you can easily pump your keggell muscles and your pelvic floor muscles and tighten it and it can feel really, really good. So, offer tighter friction when you're legs together and also your partner's hands are free to jave over your hands or hold your hands and also your partner's face will be close to the back of your neck and, you know, they can whisper, sweeten that things in your ear. The neck is a killer, a rogginisone. So that's a fun variation of it. That's also the rear view. So if you're thinking oh god doggy style it's so it's just you know we're not looking at each other and it just feels so
Starting point is 00:04:16 alone. You can actually make eye contact. So here's a little upgrade. When you're in the typical doggy style position, turn your necks, you can connect visually and look into your partner's eyes as the thrusting is happening. I think that we're afraid for eye contact a lot during sex because it just makes us vulnerable. I think eye contact in a lot of ways makes us vulnerable. You know those people you meet even,
Starting point is 00:04:40 not that you want to sex with, but you meet out in the world and you're like, why don't they look at me? I think we're all afraid of it, but many of us can't be. But there's a great intensity and closeness that comes when you actually can look into your partner's eyes during sex. So this might be the connection that you need during a doggy style to take it to the next level. Also, you guys, another doggy style tweak is to make sure that everyone's getting having a good time and getting off.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Because a lot of times for women, it doesn't, if you're the receiver, you're not going to have as much clitorial stimulation as you'd like. So this is why it's great when your partner has their hand free. You've got two hands free. And you want to make sure that your breasts and clitoris are easily accessible for either you to touch or hopefully your partner will touch, stroke them, he can use a vibrator, he can hold them at palm of his hands, he can hit all those erogenous zones, your clitoris, the vulva, your pubic mound, all those things. So when he's
Starting point is 00:05:35 thrusting it out, it can bring you both to a really great orgasm. So you don't have to forego your pleasure in doggy style. So I hope this makes a lot more sense for you and mix it a lot better than before because it's not necessarily common sense. In fact, a lot of things aren't. That's kind of like my theme for today. Another not so common, although it should be study. Performance issues in the bedroom are not just an old man's problem. I loved this.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I loved the study. I ate it all up because I think your mind's gonna be a little bit blown with this and we'll really help you. So a study revealed that nearly 40% of men, 40% between the age of 16 and 34 have experienced sexual performance problems in the last year. I find this so interesting because I think when we think about sexual dysfunction in men, we often link that to the men who are getting prescriptions for a biographer. And you know, men are over 50 and they have problems with sexual function,
Starting point is 00:06:30 but no, this is not the case at all. This is saying that it's actually much more widespread and the problem is it's not understood that the sexual issues these men are experiencing include lack of interest in sex. So it's not just obvious things like dysfunction where maybe, you know, you're getting hard or you're not staying hard as long as you want or coming too quickly,
Starting point is 00:06:49 it actually means that these men have lack of interest in sex, lack of adjoining sex, they feel no arousal, they experience pain, and we know difficult getting or maintaining erection or climaxing, climaxing too early. So I think this is time for really, really honest conversation about these issues, I'm actually not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. I'm not sure if I'm actually doing it right now. S.T.I.'s and unplanned pregnancies. We never talk about pleasure and we never talk about what sexual health actually means for men and for women. We talk a lot about women's sexual challenges. Women aren't getting a rouse and not having orgasms.
Starting point is 00:07:32 You guys know I talk about everything here, but I think this is great because it also points to some awareness and it points to the fact that it can also be really embarrassing for men. Because they're not confiding in their partners, they're not visiting their doctors. In fact, women go to doctors, they go to their general practitioners, they go to their gynecologist once or twice a year, way more often than men. And so I feel like guys are kind of like, yeah, maybe I'm not really into sex, but I'm
Starting point is 00:07:57 the only guy in the planet who's not into sex. Well, it turns out no, about 40% of men between, like I said, to the age of 34 or having the same challenges. So I love this kind of blows it wide open for men to understand that they need to communicate about whatever's going on with them, sexually just like we all do. So sometimes just talking about it with your partner,
Starting point is 00:08:19 even in saying like, hey, babe, I've just not been feeling as arousalally or I'm worried that I'm not performing or whatever it is, takes the pressure off because you're not living with it alone because I think a lot of men suffer silently. And you know what happens when you suffer silently. Through any of these sexual challenges, it can really take a toll on your physical and mental health.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And so, and then that just kind of perpetuates the problem when you no longer talk about it. And another level of this is that they blame the rise in sexual dysfunction among men, among young men, and easy access to porn without high quality sex ed to offer more balanced perspective. So get this, young men who might not have a lot of experience, actually, they probably don't. The first kind of sex they ever see is important, right?
Starting point is 00:09:02 And they have no other sex education. And then they start to have sex, and then they have some kind of see is important, right? And they have no other sex education. And then they start to have sex, and then they have some kind of challenge around it, right? A sexual issue, since we have no sex education, and they're performing themselves to porn stars, this can cause early on anxiety, self-esteem issues, and make intercourse with their actual partners in real life very, very difficult.
Starting point is 00:09:21 So some people say that this excessive viewing of pornography is actually a side effect of a sexual issue that's already been present in the men. So perhaps the guys had some sexual dysfunction issues in the past, so he just turned a porn and never went back. So no matter what side you're on, if you lean towards porn because it kind of helped you through something and then you can't have sex with your partner or you learned about sex through porn and you just kind of stayed there. There's a lot of challenges that we're having with porn all around. The bottom line is no matter what, either it's because men aren't communicating about
Starting point is 00:09:55 their problems around sex because they feel like it makes them less manly or it's too devastating or they're just stuck watching porn for whatever reason. This gets men trapped in this cycle of sexual dysfunction. And it also propagates the myth that, oh, sex issues are only thing that old dudes have to deal with. It's not for young guys and so young guys
Starting point is 00:10:14 are running on suffering, get it? So if you're struggling in the bedroom, you're not alone. And I really hope that this is kind of like light bulbs going on with some guys listening or some women, your friends, your partners and you can think like, oh God, I wonder how this is having an impact on my wonder. If I understand that lately he hasn't been
Starting point is 00:10:30 in the heart of the bedroom, we hasn't been really into sex lately. Instead of blaming them, I think what women do also, a lot of times we blame ourselves for like, well, he must not be into me. He must not be attracted to me. He must be cheating on me. Like a lot of times, no, he's just a human being
Starting point is 00:10:45 with sexual challenges like we all have at different times. We're gonna take a quick break, stick around. After the break, I'm answering your questions. Okay, this is from Chris 29 San Diego. Hey Emily, I've been listening to your podcast for over a year and it's taught me a lot and got me to explore subjects I never really explored before. I was recently in a relationship with a girl who was polyamorous, slashed, open, prior to me, and I did a lot of reading on the subject in particular with the book Sex at Dom by Christopher Ryan. I'm certainly read the book, but I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. I'm a bad guy. or that Pali Amri was a more dominant pattern in our earlier ancestors and that modern humans are capable of both. Thanks. Sex and Dawn is a wonderful bug by Christopher Ryan that came out in about 2011, I think. And it really was a groundbreaking bug about evolutionary psychology and sex and our ancestors and biology and evolution and all this stuff. So to answer your question, it's true that monogamy is a modern invention. And I do believe that it doesn't work for everybody. And so monogamy, essentially, for the last couple hundred years, is the only choice that we have in many ways.
Starting point is 00:12:18 We think, okay, we've got to marry someone, we've got to stay with one partner for the rest of our lives until death do us part. And that works for many couples. Many couples they work through and that's how they get stronger, right? They're like, I'm just gonna be with my partner and we're gonna like make it work and that's great. However, I think that for a lot of people, it doesn't. And I don't know, it could be evolutionarily speaking.
Starting point is 00:12:37 It could just be because, you know, we're not wired that way. What I would like to see is people not being so hard in themselves, I think that the time we're living in now is a wonderful time to explore like What kind of relationship do I want? You know, do I want a more modern relationship more alternative relationship that's more open and polyamorous? I mean, I think we're capable of whatever we want and all relationships take work
Starting point is 00:12:59 It's just because you're in an open relationship and you're like, wow, I can see with anyone believe me It doesn't mean that life is great because you have so many sexual partners. I think a lot of this has to do with the grass is always greener. So if you think that one side of the other is going to be the answer to everything, it's not. And not to think that, oh my god, I could never deal with jealousy. Like, I want to have more than one partner, but it'll never work. Because I'm here to tell you that there are really great tools.
Starting point is 00:13:22 People I know in open relationships actually can work. People are married with kids and they just practice like rigorous honesty, fierce communication. And they actually, yeah, they get jealous like we all do, but they have language around it. They talk about it right away. And for some people, it's really healthy. So that's time when I answer your question there.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Chris, let me know what you think. Are you trying it? Are you trying out an open relationship? This is from George, 32 in the United States. Dear Dr. Emily, big fan of the show and all the work you do to keep us educated and entertained. So my girlfriend has told me on numerous occasions, she really prefers doggy style and enjoys having her hair pulled and being spanked. This turns me on, and I really want to be able to do this for her, but I actually find the position to be somewhat painful for me. She prefers sex to be on the harder and rougher side sometimes, but this causes soreness and bruising on my whole pelvic area.
Starting point is 00:14:16 It also hurts my balls. When we go out at hard like this, I find that the best way for me to get the most pleasure and least discomfort is when she's on top. I didn't know that doing this position repeatedly is getting boring for the two of us. My question is, is there something I can do to minimize the discomfort and pain I feel from doggy style? Also, is this pain normal for men or is this something I should be concerned about? Appreciate any advice you can offer me. I love the show. concerned about. Appreciate any advice you can offer me. I love the show. Alright, 41% of men have fractured their penis during doggy style. That is the most challenging position for men where there's been discomfort. The second is missionary and the third is woman on top. So yeah, I don't know how common it is, but if they're going to fracture themselves
Starting point is 00:15:00 during sex, it's going to be during doggy style. So really what I'm concerned about is you right now. If the pain is really intense and you feel like something has happened, there's been some recent developments, definitely go to your doctor and get it checked out. Just in case, you said that your girlfriend's really into, you know, hair pulling and being dominated in spanked, there might be other paths here to pleasure.
Starting point is 00:15:24 For her to get the same results and it's not just in doggy style. So you guys could get to explore this together, but you could do some research, you could watch some porn together, you could figure out like what other acts would actually make her feel better and have that same feeling of you being dominated and rough in bed. Now, there's something else that's new. We want to mention, it's called the Onut, and it's a silicone ring that you put on your penis
Starting point is 00:15:51 that just doesn't let you go all the way in. So it can kind of act as a barrier, so you're not hitting your pelvic bone, your pubic mount too hard, which actually sounds like that's what's happening. So if you're comfortable with that, it means you won't be going into the deep, but it's like a peanut stopper.
Starting point is 00:16:06 You could also try different variations of doggy style. You could, you know, her, with her legs closer together, and when she's lying flat on her stomach, this can be a lot more pleasurable for women as well, because for many women when they're squeezing their legs together, they also get to activate their pelvic floor muscles, and that's where the magic happens, orgasms.
Starting point is 00:16:25 She could also have her face down or be in her forearms with her butt high up. Also a pillow. If you have a pillow that is between you that still allows you to penetrate, that could make things a little bit softer. I always think pillows should just be used. I have a lot of pillows on your bed
Starting point is 00:16:41 that you don't mind using for sex. They can help with a lot of different uncomfortable positions. I love that she's so vocal about what she wants, but again, Doggy Style isn't the only way to go here, so I want you to be careful and not fracture your penis. I have a book called Hot Sex. Over 200 things you could try tonight, and it's awesome because you can just open it to like any page, and there's so many positions, there's different variations of all the different sex positions and I think you'll like it. Thanks for the email and just be careful. All right. Okay, this is from Giovanna 42 in Florida. I'm a 42 year old single mom and I'm divorced. I've been saving with a 39 year old divorced man. We just hugged up and don't have plans for
Starting point is 00:17:20 relationship. He's made it clear that he's not looking for one. The sex is good, but should I continue to see him knowing it's not going to lead to anything, or should I cut all ties and move on? I'm not really sure that I want a relationship either, and I don't want to give up on the sex, but I don't want to catch any feelings either. What should I do? Okay, Giva Nath, this is a great question question because I think what it all comes down to is that you're trying to control things here that aren't necessarily controllable. What you can think about though takes some time. You might catch feelings. It's like, this whole, I don't want to catch feelings. If you catch feelings for someone, that's
Starting point is 00:17:58 actually a good thing, right? I think that can be a good thing if they're matching your feelings and you're talking about it. Most importantly, I have to say, do you want to, what exactly do you want? Okay? So, here's a thing about dating after divorce. It's a thing. You've been married for a while. If you've been out of the dating world for five years, ten years, and you're just entering now, you're like, whoa, dating apps, no one talks on the phone anymore, that's one hurdle.
Starting point is 00:18:21 And then also just like, wow, what's it like to date a few people, maybe even like a few people and have sex with more than one person if you're into that thing, but I don't think that you know that yet, Giovanni. So you said he's made it clear. He's not looking for the one. You start out saying like, you know, it's not going to lead to anything and should I cut ties, but then you go on to say, you're not sure that you want a relationship either. So I'm going to say, what do you want?
Starting point is 00:18:44 What do you think you're capable of? You might not know this yet, but I want you to reframe the way you're thinking about what you're looking for because it might surprise you. But if you're having good sex with this guy and just because he's telling you, I don't want a relationship and, you know, why don't you just kind of go into the relationship being really honest, communicating, being honest with them, what you're thinking right now. You can say, you know what? I'm thinking about this relationship because you don't want a relationship and I'm not sure what I want right now. That might get you even closer together, but I would be honest with him, but most importantly,
Starting point is 00:19:12 with yourself, and challenge yourself because you might be able to still date this guy and other people, even if your brain's going, I could never handle that. Because it sounds like you're still trying to figure out what you want. The other option for you is to also say, you know what? I'm just not going to jump right back into dating. If you just got divorced, you might not even be ready yet either. So I'm just throwing that out there for you and for anyone else who's listening, who's like, I got to get back out there and do it.
Starting point is 00:19:35 You only have to date when you're ready to date. So go ease in yourself, really think about what feels good to you, not what the guys want, not what he's telling you but what you want. And that takes to work, but that's how you're gonna be able to find, satisfying relationship that you really want. And that feels good to you. This is from Andrew 35, Australia.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I find it orgasm a lot quicker when wearing condom than when I don't. I can control myself when I don't wear one, but when I do, I can't control myself. And the idea is how to last longer. Okay, well, the first thing I thought when I read this is, well, I love it during condom. I love it. I love you guys. Wear condoms. If you're sleeping around, and you've been tested, prevents STDs and pregnancies, okay? You guys, but most importantly, STDs, even if you're on the pill, what I was thinking, and there was maybe the condom doesn't fit
Starting point is 00:20:24 you right. I think that guys kind of get set on a brand of condoms and they're like, STDs, even if you're on the pill. What I was thinking, and there was maybe the condom doesn't fit you right. I think that guys kind of get set on a brand of condoms and they're like, oh yeah, well, it just feels weird. But it might be too tight. You might need a bigger size condom, a larger size condom. I always recommend skin condoms. They're great. They make a king size KYNG and it's skin SKYM.
Starting point is 00:20:42 You could also try masturbating with the condom on to test it and practice, you know, edging with the condom on where you, where you think, realize the point where you're back to ejaculate and then you stop to kind of like get to the point of no return. Then you go back down again. You could also try doing your keg electrolysis, which is great for men and for women. It can also help you with ejacul control. And let me know how that goes. This next email comes to us from Mike, who's 50 in the United States. Hey, Dr. Emily, I've been married for 15 years.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I've always been to bondage until the last couple of years. I finally got my wife to give it a real try, meaning impact play, such as spanking. She also let me tie her hands up, but is very apprehensive about taking it to a higher level, such as flogging or whipping. We're having a BDSM session with an old flame, no sexual contact whatsoever, be considered cheating.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Okay, Mike, I would say that yes, this would be considered cheating, absolutely. So if you're hiding from your spouse and you think it's something she's gonna be mad about, yes, it's cheating if she finds out, you know, in fatality. I feel like though, you're kind of jumping the gun here, Mike. If you found out that your wife, you know, you guys have been together for 15 years. And the last couple of years, she's into it. You could also talk to her about it. You could try to give her time to warm up
Starting point is 00:22:02 and be patient. Maybe she needs a little bit more information about, it needs to experience it. You know, a lot of times we're just fearful of things, we're like, oh, that would really hurt. So I would recommend when I first read this, you're like, would having a BDSM session, I thought you were going to say like, with a dominatrix, who could help us out. And maybe she could like learn from professional and they could kind of test it. We have very limited views, especially someone who knows much about BDSM, like there might be other ways
Starting point is 00:22:27 to play with it, like just because she's down to the vlogging or a whipping part, you guys may be surprised if you visit DominatorX or did some research on your own that you don't need to cheat, you don't need to go outside of marriage, but there is like a workaround so you guys could find perhaps a way
Starting point is 00:22:42 that you could still get a rouse, she could get a rouse, and I'd love to know more about her fantasies as well. Two-way street here. So I feel like the fact that she came on to everything else in a few years after 15 years is a good sign. So be patient and do some exploring with her. I know this thing you really want now, Mike.
Starting point is 00:22:57 He's like, you know, I want the whipping and I want, but just be patient, ask the questions, explore, and again, you guys, I think this is for everybody. We all need to do a lot more research. This is what the soul shows about. How do we actually explore? I think our view of what sex is is so limited and what was on the table. We don't even know what's on the table. We know like, doggy style and we know missionary and we know like, spanking with this BDSM.
Starting point is 00:23:18 But again, together, you know, a lot of times our partners say, no to things or they're shut down for things because it just sounds awful or painful, which it can be if you don't do it right. But maybe in your path to exploration, you might find, you know, something else that works for both of you. So please don't cheat. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Okay, this is from Amber 35 in Florida. Hey, Emily, this is regarding my feelings of how my vagina looks. It's so bad I never look at it. So I came home from work and looked and it's way worse than I ever remember it to be. It's saggy wrinkly and has huge long lips. It looks so beat up and worn out. It's literally the ugliest vagina I've ever seen in my entire life. I've Google Photos of Laby Plastic but some look worse after the surgery. I don't know how to get over it. This is almost like a phobia of my veg.
Starting point is 00:24:06 It's so friggin ugly and I buy and I love how they look. If I ever saw a girl with one like mine, I couldn't even go through with it. I don't know what to do. My husband's as he loves it, but our marriage is always in the rocks, so one day I might have to be with someone else and I dread it. It's so gross. Okay Amber, whoa. Back up, take a few deep breaths here. How about take a few deep breaths with you?
Starting point is 00:24:30 You're totally fine. This is normal. To me, it sounds like you just look in the mirror and freaked out because your husband loves it. Women, they all look different. I understand, I understand that when you look at porn, they're small and tight and pink, and maybe that's the girls who are trying to have a porn, that's the angle, but that is only one kind of vulva. You should check out some of other vulvas to make yourself feel better. Don't
Starting point is 00:24:55 look at labial plastic. You do not need labial plastic. Look up the vulva gallery. Just Google vulva gallery and there's beautiful vulva artwork and they're all different. Everyone is different. And, you know, I feel like you have this concern that all these people, if you ever have to go out in the world, they're not gonna like you for China and they're gonna judge you. And then you just said to me, you're vulva, you just said to me that if you came across one,
Starting point is 00:25:19 you wouldn't love it. So you are actually the problem here. You're the one who's perpetuating this thing about something China has to look in some certain way in the vulva and it looks so different. Every single one is different. Like really if you stood up 100 women in a room and they were all naked every single one would look very very different. If you put 100 porn stars in a room they might look more similar. But if you just pulled 100 random women off the street very different and each one is beautiful. So I think that this is where all these challenges have come up
Starting point is 00:25:47 from women for loving their love us, but I think that we gotta do some self love here, some deep, deep self love. Because if you're with someone in the future and they're gonna look at you and they're gonna be like, oh, peace out, Amber, I don't love your vagina, I think that's not the person you wanna be with. A, and B, God.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Is that really even gonna happen? And if that happens, you're gonna be that person more than anyone else. You know, and B is the same as A. If you find that person does that to you, you're out. So as long as it's working, we need to love our vaginas. We need to love our bodies more. The way you're talking about yourself is really, really hateful. I'm going to go on a limb here and suggest that you've got a lot of these negative tapes running through your head about a lot of things About your body about your life about your job If not you're lucky because if it's just about your vagina
Starting point is 00:26:30 I can solve this I can tell you that you it's just important to do the work when you're vagina like standing in the mirror And all those it finds some things that you love about it and your husband loves it and I would start to take your masturbation do some mindful masturbation where you're really just wow. I can't believe how to take your masturbation, do some mindful masturbation where you're really just wow, I can't believe how amazing it is I have this body part that can give me so much pleasure and so many orgasms. So I want you to just reframe,
Starting point is 00:26:52 re-shift this whole thing about your vulva and I want every woman listening to to do the same thing. There is no right vulva. This wasn't even a conversation you guys. I'm telling you before porn became so ubiquitous, this barely was even a thing. And now I get all these emails from women
Starting point is 00:27:07 are like, I don't look a certain way and just makes me really sad. I love you Amber and I want you to love yourself as well. It's a really good thing to work on loving yourself. That's actually the most important work we could do. Cause when you love yourself, everything else follows. Confidence, sexual confidence, being a good person, being a good human, jealousy goes away.
Starting point is 00:27:24 It's a beautiful thing. Do that. I love you all. Confidence, sexual confidence, being a good person, being a good human, jealousy goes away, it's a beautiful thing. Do that. I love you all. That's it for today's episode, see you on Tuesday. Thanks for listening to Sex with Emily.
