Starting point is 00:00:00 We might top advice for penis owners going down a mobile owner or anyone going down a mobile owner to be honest is to say, hey babe, settle in, don't get up. I'm not going anywhere. This is all about you. Do you know this collective sigh of relief that we can all experience when we just know that our partner truly wants to be there and wants to please us and is it going to do what it takes? Well, I want that for you and I want you to get there.
Starting point is 00:00:27 You're listening to Sex with Emily. I'm Dr. Emily and I'm here to help you prioritize your pleasure and liberate the conversation around sex. You all know that one of my biggest goals is to de-center sex from penetration. Well, that's why in today's best of episode, I'm talking about all the ways we can pleasure ourselves and our partners with no penetration required. I also answer questions about erectile challenges or gasping from oral and the dreaded jackhammer.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Please rate and review sex with Emily wherever you listen to the show, my new articles, the best sex toys according to your zodiac sign, and low lift pleasure hacks. Five everyday items that elevate your sex life are up on Sex with Emily dot com. I'd have enjoyed this episode. At Salesforce, we're all about asking more of AI.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Questions like, where's the data going? Is it secure? Are you sure? Are you sure you're sure? Get answers you can trust from Salesforce at AskMoreVai.com. Today's episode is an ode to all the different forms of non-penetrative sex we can have, and how we can open ourselves up to more pleasure, more intimacy, and more connection when we ditch old scripts around sex, and actually reflect on the types of touch and vibe we want
Starting point is 00:02:02 when we connect sexually with another person. Now, I'll be honest, I love penetration. Don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm a big fan like I'm sure lots of you are. But for a long time here, I've been encouraging all of you to expand your definition of sex. Why? Because it's so limiting to think of sex as only one act. Penetration.
Starting point is 00:02:23 You know, penis goes into vagina sex. And let me remind you that the majority of vulva owners aren't going to have an orgasm through penetration. In fact, only 20% of vulva owners do have orgasms through penetration. And of those vulvas, it's not every single time. And in fact, this might make a lot of penis owners feel a little bit better here, that a lot of the pleasure that vulva owners are going to receive really have nothing to do
Starting point is 00:02:51 with your penis. It has to do with your mouth, it has to do with your hands, has to do with other things that you bring to the table, maybe even dirty talk, maybe even some other things could really get your partner going. But the penis is just less important when it comes to a lot of things that happen to do with pleasure. So that's another reason to not necessarily focus all of your sex on this act of penetration. When someone's pleasure can happen in other ways. And there's also the orgasm gap, whereas penises are going to orgasm way more frequently than people with vulvas.
Starting point is 00:03:22 That's how it goes. And so finding other ways to have pleasure and have orgasm is really a crucial part of being an excellent lover. I want to do the show in a way to reclaim the word sex and define it away from penetration alone and towards a more expansive set of behaviors. And we have role models. We mean, we have lots of examples of people defining sex on their terms rather than following a set of steps. For example, when queer partners hook up, they often ask, hey, you know, what are you into? And let their favorite behaviors lead the way, rather than following some script that was
Starting point is 00:03:59 handed to them. It's not just about penetration, it's not just about this one kind of sex. And in my opinion, this is a protocol that would benefit all of us, causing us to reflect individually and how we want to experience another person's body and how we want a partner to experience ours. First, though, I thought it might be interesting to illuminate why penetrative P in V sex gets this revered standing in straight sex? From the 6 to 16 centuries, some Christian Church authorities taught that intercourse should
Starting point is 00:04:31 be face to face, penis owner on top, primarily because they believe that semen flows with gravity, leading to conception, having babies, nation-building. So again, penetration is great, I love it. But early Christianity had a solid PR machine and got the word out for hundreds of years that penetrative sex and missionary specifically was these sex to have period. And it's my belief though that the definition of sex
Starting point is 00:05:01 is open for interpretation and we get to decide. It's not one specific act and to have sex means you are mindfully engaging in pleasure. Just because your experiencing penetration doesn't mean you're having sex. I mean, if you asked me about two people in the act of penetration, but completely disconnected from one another and even disassociating what's happening, I would not say they're having sex. I would say penetration is happening, but not sex. There's a clear distinction. So let's walk through what a night of sex might look like if you took penetration off the table to make this whole experience less automatic, less row, less going through the motions, and more aligned with your legit desires.
Starting point is 00:05:45 And after this show is about here, trying to get you to think about what are my desires, what doesn't mean to not have penetrative sex. So let's talk about specifically what those desires might be. So, for all the same page, and we think about sex as exploration, and how we explore each other and ourselves, well, I can see a night of non-pentative sex involving a few things. So the first would be touch. And this would include these long-hot make-out sessions.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Where you're really kissing again, kissing is often the first thing that goes in a long-term relationship. Do you ever notice that? Maybe I don't need to tell you that. But when you bring back, like a intentional make-out sash using your hands as well and kissing different parts of the face, the shoulders, the neck,
Starting point is 00:06:31 that's really hot. Touch could also include a sensual massage. Get some massage candles, get some massage oil and take turns really touching each other and exploring into other's bodies and getting to other turned on for whatever comes next. I love Central Massage. I've been really into it. I have a massage table and some nights I partner out and just bring that out and there's nights where it's all about my pleasure. Love those nights. But also nights out about his pleasure. And I actually love these knights because I know one person is getting the attention, but you know you're going to get it back. That's the thing. And I think if we can start thinking about sex as less transactional though, and it's really this night of giving, why this is so great is because for example, let's say there's
Starting point is 00:07:17 a knight the massage table is out. It's all about my pleasure. Well, I'm not thinking like, oh god, this massage feels great. I love what he's doing, but I know I'm going to get up and I'm going to do the same thing to him. Now, I love my partner. Don't get me wrong. But isn't there something really wonderful about the nights where you don't have to worry about giving back? You don't have to worry about what comes next. I mean, sometimes I just want to get this massage and just fall asleep on the table and get into bed. And not have to worry that I somehow fell short in my sexual agreement. And because of this understanding that we're all going to get our pleasure at some point, it makes it a lot more satisfying. Now, the other thing I love about touches is where you get to explore erogenous zones, like other erogenous zones. Not just the primary erogenous zones,
Starting point is 00:08:00 we know about the bud and the penis and the vagina. But with your hands and fingers and toys, you can discover like secondary Roger's Dones in a elbow, back of thigh, inner thighs. Because you get to go slow and really explore. Have you tried this lately? This is really fun stuff I'm telling you. I hope you're taking notes or relist into this episode. Or even better yet, share this with a partner. I'm telling you, it's going to make your life a lot easier.
Starting point is 00:08:28 If you guys just have a night where you listen to this together or you both listen to it on the way to work and then you can discuss, it works a lot. I love hearing from a lot of you that this has really helped your sex life and your relationships. Okay, another thing in night of non-parantrative sex could involve would be just oral, oral everything. And this includes kissing, bites, licks, sucking, you know, on the mouth all over the body. Again, exploring. And this could be the torso, the inner thighs, obviously the genitals.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Playing with toys and loobs and just using your mouth to explore. There's also self stimulation. This is the mutual masturbation session that I'm huge fan of. You know, just lying back and you're both sort of getting off in the ways that you know how, but it's also really hot to watch your partner get there, promise, or if this could just be masturbation that happens creatively, you know, make it your own. I had a listener write it recently,
Starting point is 00:09:33 explaining how she masturbated with a toy while going down in her partner. Genius, I mean, I love that. And to be honest, I've been doing that for years. But you guys, I love this. Like, let's, I've been doing that for years. But I love this. Like let's think differently. Let's think creatively. Guess what I'm saying is that there's just so many ways
Starting point is 00:09:51 to have pleasure on your body. And a lot of these you might have dabbled in, but I'm saying like this can become your whole night. This can become your whole week. This can be a focus. All right, another thing is toys. It's such a good time. On bolvars and penises, let me remind you, and also toys can be a great way to enhance
Starting point is 00:10:08 this massage session I'm talking about. It can be great to put a massage oil on your partner's body and then take a toy and sort of use that toy over the massage lotion all over their body and exploring. Now, I get it, maybe it takes a beat to normalize the sound of a buzzing toy during sex. But I'm telling you, the benefit of these toys is that their vibrations reach deeper, more internal nerve endings than your hands or your mouth or your genitals ever can. It's not that toys are better or they're even required, but they're literally getting two places in your body that are just not possible otherwise.
Starting point is 00:10:51 And it feels really freaking good. Think about what it would be like if you used toys on each other and you went really, really slow and you paused when you found like a particularly sensitive spot that you didn't even know existed. I'm telling you this is possible This happens we just go into the hitting quit at mode or this is what I've done every time with my toy like that's how I've discovered I know a lot of you have discovered so many other delicious Rogen zones and hot spots and things that feel good is by these toys that can help you get there.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And you keep having sex the same way, penetrative sex, using a penis, with the vulva, with hands and fingers, and that's all great. I'm not saying you ever need to elevate the toys, but toys just adds a little bit something, more exploration, and more pleasure, and a little bit different kinds of pleasure than you could ever receive with just your body parts alone. All right, anal. Here I specifically mean anal play. And I think a lot of what the anal sex questions that come in could really be about anal play. And this is using toys, hands, mouths rather than just like anal sex. You've got about a zillion nerve endings around and inside your anus and well I know I know
Starting point is 00:12:06 it's the last taboo for a lot of you listening. Please just know I used to be right there with you. I'm like it's taboo, it's a whole thing, it takes a lot of time, anal is going to be for special occasions and birthdays. But once you get out of the mindset of it's dirty, it's wrong, and you actually take steps to cleanse and prepare, because I know a lot of you worry like, what if poop happens, which it could happen, or you don't feel clean up, you don't feel safe enough, or actually when I say cleanse, you could cleanse all that negative condition
Starting point is 00:12:40 and you have around the anal play. It can truly be one of the most intimate, erotic sex acts and connecting sex acts you can experience. If you hear about all these, I encourage you to think about choreographing a night of ideal sex where there's no penetration. Hey, and even this choreography takes place in your imagination, it will tell you so much about the type of pleasure that appeals to you. And it'll help you get to know yourself as an erotic person because it puts you in the driver's seat of your pleasure, which I want you all to be in the driver's seat of your
Starting point is 00:13:15 pleasure. That is not selfish. That is not a wrong thing to do. That is not somehow leaving your partner out. When you are in the driver's seat of your pleasure, you're much more able to give to your partner, to be that kind of lover to your partner out when you are in the driver's seat of your pleasure, you're much more able to give to your partner to be that kind of lover to your partner. You know, otherwise, there's just a script that was handed to you, and that's how you're all having sex.
Starting point is 00:13:32 But there's now a whole menu of options that you get to choose from. So I hope you are listening to these options right now. And some of them are resonating with you and getting you even excited. When we come back, I'm answering an email from Heather who feels rushed to climax during Oral with her partner.

See you for details. This is from Heather, 40 in New Jersey. Hey Dr. Emily, I want to know how I can orgasm faster during oral sex. When my fiance goes down to me, I don't use Janup having an orgasm. It takes a while, over 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Then he gets tired and can't keep it up. So we end up having sex. It leaves me hanging because I want an orgasm from him going down to me. I do masturbate and explore my body, but I need a lot of stimulation, porn, or a literal stimulator toy. And that toy only takes a couple minutes or even less. I even want a toy that simulates oral sex, and that takes minutes too. Help!
Starting point is 00:16:58 Alright Heather, here's the deal. Completely normal for the majority of vulva owners to take a wild of an orgasm during intercourse at least 20 minutes. I mean, there's something called the orgasm cap, which means that it takes vulva owners longer on average to orgasm than penis owners. And penis owners are also more likely done vulva owners to orgasm during sex. The actual stats for this are it takes penis owners anywhere from like eight to ten minutes to orgasm overall and it takes mobile owners between 20 and 40 minutes. So there is a gap and you are
Starting point is 00:17:33 living in this world of the gap we all are. We've got to close the orgasm gap and if you want more info on this you can check out our article four ways to close to Close the Orgasm Gap. But listen, while your desire to orgasm faster makes total sense, just know it takes a while, and you want to make sure that your partner is into it. Now, the challenge here is that your partner is getting up and saying, I'm tired, I can't keep it up, my mouth hurts, my tongue hurts, so you just have sex.
Starting point is 00:18:04 And then you're left hanging, like you said, because you're not having orgasms. You're not having news much pleasure. You're not having your needs met. So I really think this is a conversation with your partner, with your fiance. You haven't been married yet. You haven't walked down the aisle yet. This is a fabulous time to talk to your fiance about your requirement. aisle yet, this is a fabulous time to talk to your fiance about your requirement and what you need to feel truly in your body orgasmic and pleased. A lot of partners don't know this. This is that public knowledge. They don't know that you're not even able to orgasm that way.
Starting point is 00:18:41 And they don't know that it might feel hurtful for them to get up and say I'm exhausted and I'm tired. I mean, my top advice for penis owners going down a mobile owners or anyone going down a mobile owner to be honest is to say, hey babe, settle in. Don't get up. I'm not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:18:55 This is all about you. Do you know this collective sigh of relief that we can all experience when we just know that our partner truly wants to be there and wants to please us? And is it gonna do what it takes. Well, I want that for you and I want you to get there. So this would be a conversation with your fiance outside the bedroom about the realities of orgasms when it comes to vulvas and penises. He just might need a refresher or some knowledge on that. But that being said, if you are looking for faster ways to orgasm with your partner,
Starting point is 00:19:28 just might be helpful to expand your definition of sex. Because remember, sex can include mutual masturbation. Watching porn together. Using toys together. Use a toy during before, after an oral sex session or other sexual acts to help increase stimulation and speed of which you're able to orgasm. I mean, that's what our toys are, our friends there too.
Starting point is 00:19:54 A toy is the sure thing for many of us. There should be no shame when you're toy game, especially if your partner is not putting in all the time and effort. And listen, not to bash your partner. Many a penis owner, as many a vulva owners are like, I don't don't have it in me. I don't have 20, 30 minutes to go down. And you would hurt my neck and hurt my mouth. I got to go pay the bills on busy, whatever. I understand that life gets busy. So just know that toys are your friend. And also you
Starting point is 00:20:17 mentioned your partner gets tired while giving you oral. And so please remind him he doesn't need to just rely on his mouth. He can use his hands. He can use different parts of his face. Not just the tongue. He could use his lips. He can get creative. He can make sure that he is comfortable. That he's got a pillow supporting his neck or his knees or wherever he's laying.
Starting point is 00:20:39 It's okay to mix it up. Try different positions. Remember, just because someone starts going down, he doesn't mean you can't take a switch. You can even break and get a snack. I don't care. Just mix it up so everyone's comfortable and eventually everyone gets their needs met. All right, so let's have some conversations with them.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Let's use some education. Let's have you feel confident exploring with your hands, your fingers, with the toys in the middle of oral sacs to make sure that you're getting yours and he's getting his. All right, thanks so much for your question Heather. This is from OBA, 23 in Nigeria. Hey Dr. Emily, I had sex for the first time three months ago.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Before then, I used to consume a lot of porn and masturbate a lot. The lack of sex is mostly as a result of my religious beliefs, and now I'm ready to explore as much as I can. I noticed that when I have sex, I often lose my erections and have to wait to get hard again. This is beginning to have an effect on my self-esteem and my desire to ever participate in any sexual relationship. I feel very confused and sad. Do I need to take my eyebrow? What should I do? Thank you for your help. All right, Oba, I am so glad that you wrote in. Congratulations on your sexual
Starting point is 00:21:51 debut, which is what I'd much rather call a virginity, which is also another societal construct. Let's just say you had your sexual debut, came out and had sex. So in terms of your recent challenges staying hard, there are several reasons why this happens. There could be some just residual shame from your religious background that could be getting in the way of your ability to stay present and mindful in the moment.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Listen, just because we realize that we no longer adhere to a set of beliefs that was sort of forced upon us growing up, doesn't mean that we immediately eradicate them, that they don't still haunt us and they don't still sort of take over when we're trying to be sexual. Like you shouldn't be sexual right now, this is wrong, you know, this is still somehow deeply shameful. So only you know about these messages are still there with you. And so what I would say is try to reframe and use some positive affirmations around your sexuality that allow you to realize that you are deserving of sexual pleasure. You are doing this pleasure is your birthright and that you're not in harm's way.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Nothing bad is going to happen to you. And as an adult, you're making a decision to put your sexual liberation freedom and pleasure on the forefront. It could also be nerves. Listen, there's a lot of penis owners who just get a nervous and anxious being in a sexual moment, especially for the first time. So yes, that would absolutely impact your ability to say hard. And then this gets compounded and creates a cycle of fear, especially when it's happened in the past. And then this is when we get like cycles of erectile dysfunction, our premature ejaculation, and the bummer about this is sometimes it just happens once.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And then we get so fearful because we have so much shame that we came too fast, we weren't hard enough, and then, oh, it just happens again in the game. One thing that might help you is take the pressure off your penis and penetrate of sex all together. I encourage you to focus on other aspects of sexual intimacy. Pleasing your partner, for example, you might find a world of pleasure that you wouldn't even have experienced before. Because what happens is, especially for penis owners when they're not able to stay hard or they're not able to perform in the ways they want to.
Starting point is 00:24:03 You just get in your head and you're constantly thinking about other things and you're not able to, you know, perform in the ways they want to. You just get in your head and your old constantly thinking about other things and you're not able to actually say, all right, well right now, my penis isn't behaving the way I want to, but let me just turn my focus towards my partner. How could I turn my focus to my energy towards my partner and please them? Maybe you go down in your partner, maybe you give them a sensual massage, maybe you put all your intensity and focus on them and an amazing thing could happen to you. I hear this happen all the time. You just might be surprised at how quickly your penis gets hard again because then you aren't as obsessed with your penis in the moment.
Starting point is 00:24:34 You're actually obsessed with your partner's pleasure. Don't we all want to get there? I'm telling you, when I become more like into my partner's pleasure and I'm less obsessed than you about my own worries, my own concerns, my own body, and how am I doing and how am I performing? It feels really good to be a giver, to be giving to my partner and then recklessly all those stuff that's keeping us from our pleasure potential melts away and you'll find yourself feeling again more, you're feeling more ready for sex, you're feeling more ready for pleasure to receive it and to give it. So this is what I recommend for you. I do not
Starting point is 00:25:03 suggest you start popping Viagra right now, not a 23 years old, but I love your awareness around what's actually happening. And you could actually listen to our podcast. Peanus problems solved. All right, Oba, thanks so much for your question. You got this. I appreciate your email. This is from Nicole 30 in New York. Hi, Dr. Emily. I'm a huge fan of your show, and I'm reaching out for advice on how to gently help my husband to be a better lover. He's 34, and so does the jackhammer. I feel responsible for being a passive lover
Starting point is 00:25:34 for the last four years as I was having my children and just wanted done with and just check it off the list. Well, now I wanna take back control of my sexuality, pleasure, and strength in my connection with them. I just don't know where to start. Thanks so much. All right Nicole, thank you so much for your question.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I just want to say this. I understand that you feel responsible for being a passive lover, but can I just tell you you've had kids the last for years? You've been busy. So it's okay. We're not always at our peak sexual performance. We're not always able to show up in the way we want to show up especially when you have other responsibilities and things going on like having a lot of little ones in the house.
Starting point is 00:26:12 So it's all good, but let's start from where you're at. My advice to you is have a conversation with them. You know outside the bedroom. Maybe in your date night, which I really hope you're having date nights. Side note, do you all know that couples who have date nights and stick to it once a week have deeper intimacy, healthier connection and better sex. I'm just saying, lots of studies have shown that. So I hope you're having a date night.
Starting point is 00:26:43 So maybe next time you're in date night, you say to them, you know, I've been thinking about our sex life. And I realize, you know, things are changing right now. I feel like my body's feeling better. The kids are taking up less time. And I would love to find a way to come together and collaborate on our sex life. And think about and talk about what could it be? What's possible?
Starting point is 00:27:05 What really turns you on? What turns me on? And also, explaining to him what exactly it is that you might be wanting right now. And you could say, I don't know what I don't know. I know that I've been distracted the last few years and I really want to take control of my sexuality. And I want to have more intimacy with you. And maybe this is some more masturbation in your part and figuring out what feels good or it's some mutual masturbation. It's you really sinking into your pleasure and being able to articulate and show your husband what you actually want and what you desire.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Now you might not know and I get that, but that could be also part of the conversation is telling him that you know there's so much pleasure to be had in your body and his body. But by discovering your own body now, that really needs to happen and you can't wait for him to learn along with you as you've both been in this parenting mode and now it's time to expand. And I really think that every couple could stand from this conversation because I guarantee that the majority of couples are sort of in a holding pattern. And you're doing the same things that you've always been doing. We don't often even think
Starting point is 00:28:13 to change up our sex life, so to have these conversations. So just let them know that it's a team effort here. And that you, like, you both to learn together, to grow, to understand your bodies. And the jackhammer thing, like let's work on that. You could even say, I'd love to go slower with you and find ways to have penetration that feels really great for both of us. Not sure what it is yet, but let's do some exploring. And see if he's open to having conversations with you about your self-sife. I hope that he has a growth mindset around sex,
Starting point is 00:28:46 you know, like you do. So I really think it's important to remember these are baby-sep conversations. I'm gonna assume maybe you haven't had a lot of conversations about your sex life, just because the majority of couples haven't, and it sounds even busier the last few years, but to say like, let's start clean slate,
Starting point is 00:29:02 let's figure out each other, let's keep talking, let's give each other incredible pleasure, it'd be the most incredible lovers to each other that we could ever imagine. And also, like I said, helps to listen to this podcast together, a lot of couples do that, it helps them break the ice, it helps them to get new fodder and new material to really move their sex life forward to where they want. So all of your needs are getting met. All right Nicole, thanks so much for your email.
Starting point is 00:29:23 This is from Emily 17, Iowa. Hey Dr. Emily, I recently started dating a guy and last night we did some passionate kissing that led to some touching. I told them we should probably stop and he agreed. I am a virgin, but feel that if we continue dating, I want to have sex with them. But it also scares me because I know he's experienced.
Starting point is 00:29:41 My friend told me I could get a sex toy that would help my vagina get ready for sex. Is this something you recommend and if so, is there something you'd recommend? Alright Emily, I'd love to hear the true and new relationship and feeling good about this partner. And as you've heard throughout this episode, I want to expand the definition around sex to make it more than just penetration. So whether or not you've decided to penetrate an intercourse with this partner, definitely connect sexually. I'm all about it.
Starting point is 00:30:08 And just a reminder, most women do not orgasm from penetration alone. So please do not feel pressure to have penetrative sex until you feel ready for it. And if and when you do decide to have penetrative sex for the first time, here are some things to help you along the way.
Starting point is 00:30:25 You can use a dildo, which is essentially a vibrator that doesn't vibrate. It's made out of glass or silicone. You could use a rabbit toy, which is a dual simulation toy, meaning it stimulates internally and externally, or just a G-spot vibrator that allows you to explore how penetration feels on your own before having penetration in the partner or just get used to the feeling what it feels like to have something inside of you. You may also want to explore first the literal vibe or the literal stimulation or just masturbation in general if you have not.
Starting point is 00:31:00 And I do recommend a literal vibe as a starter vibe for all the owners. But again, if you want to simulate what intercourse might feel like, some insertion toys are great. Also, want to recommend that you communicate with your partner, your wishes. And let them know, like, how do you envision this sex encounter going down? So you definitely feel aligned in how you want the experience to be. You want to practice safe sex, condoms, birth control,
Starting point is 00:31:27 tack your cycle, pull out, whatever you're gonna do. The other thing I want to recommend to you is, you know, you definitely want to have sex for the first time with someone you feel safe with, someone you can trust, someone you feel that's invested in your pleasure, which is why I love that you are taking this slow. And you're listening to this podcast, which is giving you way more education around sex
Starting point is 00:31:48 than most of us had. Definitely more than I had. I didn't know anything about sex when I started having sex. You can also listen to our podcast, First Date, First Orgasm, First 3 Sum, because we get into all of this, so you're going to be prepared and ready to go. But Emily, I already feel that you got this, you're asking such thoughtful mature questions and I can't wait to hear all about it. Thanks, Emily! That's it for today's episode, see you on Tuesday.
