I'm dying to welcome my guest.
She flew around the world just to be here with me today.
I know you were here for other reasons, but Cindy Jarnal is one of Australia's leading
sex and relationship therapists.
She is amazing.
I've been hearing about her through my good friend L. Chase, sex educator who's also here
in the room for years, and she just explained she said she's like the Emily Morrison Australia.
Cindy, I'm so glad

I'm here for a month. A month. A month. In LA. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, then you're going to New York
for the fancy speaking thing you're doing. Yes. I'm going to the Omega Institute in New York.
Congratulations. New York for a 16th to 18th of June running a workshop for two and a half days
for couples. So cool. Sacred sexuality. Okay for two and a half days for couples. Cool.
Sacred sexuality.
Okay, and people can sign up for that.
And the on the Omega website, or if they can't find it on the Omega website, my website
CindyDarnell.com under upcoming events, it's listed there.
Okay, cool.
And this all your information will be on our website as well with this podcast, with this
post.
So tell me a little about yourself because you have an interesting like niche like connecting
with like couples and singles and working with people in relationships. So can you tell me a little
bit about how you like I wanted to sign up on your website. Oh, great. I was like wow you really
can help with anything. You see patients clients. Yeah, I see clients. One on one. Yeah.
So yeah, tell me tell me a little bit how you work.
So I call myself a sex and relationship therapist.
That's the most accurate description, I guess, for what I do.
And what that means is I work in a therapeutic context, so I'm a qualified psychotherapist.
But I specialised in sex and relationships because it's something that I think a lot
of people still really struggle with, particularly in Australia, around the world as well, because it is such a taboo and a lot of relationships therapists tend to not want to do or they've not been trained in managing sex stuff, because I think the narrative that is so common is that sex and relationships are the same thing, and that if you're a relationship therapist, then you must also be a sex therapist, and they're actually really quite different fields, they're complementary but they're not exactly the same,
like coffee and milk, you know, they go great together but they don't, you don't need to have them
together, you can have them separately. So my interest in sexuality and relationships has been,
I think it really started in sexuality about 20-something years ago. I had the pleasure of meeting Annie Sprinkle and
Barbara Carillas when I was very, very young. And Barbara Carillas and I in particular formed
a very strong friendship back then. And so she's been a mentor to me for many, many years
and so much of the work that I do has been influenced by her ideas and values. And even
though she's not a therapist, she's very much someone that I credit with kickstarting my career
in Australia 20 years ago in this field. So I've gone on since then since...
Some people who don't know who Barbara Crelas is. Could you?
So Barbara Crelas is from New York and she's the author of Urban Tantra among other things and she
also is, I think, one of the world's leading Tantra experts and she's also one of the world's leading tantra experts and she's also one of the world's pioneers
in teaching tantra from a non-gender specific aspect. So she has sort of blown the whole idea of
sort of divine masculine and divine feminine out of the water and has really pioneered a whole new
approach to tantra which is all gender inclusive and she's's amazing. And her partner is Kate Bornstein, who is well known for being a very well-loved trans activist.
And most recently on the Caitlin Jenner reality show.
So they have both been comments.
So it started with the-
My aunties, my six aunties.
I love it.
But they're a bit there and they were here,
but you've stayed in touch with it over the years.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
So it started with that and then you got your degree in therapy.
Yeah, so I went and studied therapy first.
I was just a regular, you know, gun variety psychotherapist first.
And then I found that the therapeutic community in Australia and internationally is on many
levels quite conservative, especially when it comes to sex, because there's a lot of misunderstandings about even the concept of what is sex, what is normal sex, who has it, who's allowed to have it,
and the notions around all the taboos and what's allowed and what's not allowed
really throws people and because, you know, we've all pretty much grown up in some version of a sex negative culture,
if you haven't learned to talk about sex in
helpful and meaningful ways, even if you're a trained therapist, you can be trying to be
helpful with your clients and still make mistakes if you're feeding in to old ideas that
are limiting and shaming of people's sexuality.
I don't just mean their orientation.
I mean, their practices.
What they actually do.
But the relationship, for the relationship therapist do
I agree because I feel like people that it is so different and that I actually think a lot from a lot of my listeners who call and who
Who email the show? I'm like they just need they purely sex there be more the relationship
Yeah, well, yeah, it's it's complimentary
It is complimentary, but the fact that you know both the most and I understand that most relationship therapists really don't. They don't.
It's a whole different thing.
I really don't.
How would you explain, I think you do it well on your website, but how could you explain
the difference, what someone would get from relationship therapy and sex therapy?
Well, it would depend on the problem that they're having, because I think we all get tricked
into different beliefs about sex and relationships because of the narratives that we are taught
from a very young age. And this happens through movies and books and news and just, you know, common assumptions
about how things are. And I think one of the biggest things is that intimacy and eroticism
are the same. And they're really not. Because you can have intimacy that is very sort of
vulnerable, making heart connected, all that kind of,
you know, yummy, mushy, security-oriented stuff. And that can actually put out the
fire of eroticism for a lot of people.
Pancellz it out, right.
And that can be problematic for people in long-term relationships, particularly people in long-term
monogamous relationships. How do we navigate that space between wanting to feel safe and
wanting to feel hot?
So this is where it becomes a particular skill
in dancing between those two points on the spectrum
and what is possible, and also engaging people
in conversations about what's normal,
because I think a lot of folks get very, very invested
in being normal in contrast with being content content that people really want to be normal
like you know, they'll say to me, how often should we be having sex?
You know, and they want some sort of like, you know, 1.7 times a week or whatever.
And instead, I will say to them, first of all, what kind of sex are you talking about?
And then it's like, why do you, why do you want to be normal?
Why do you care what other people are doing?
What is it, What matters to you and people get spent so much energy
on trying to be normal and very little energy
on trying to be content or trying to be happy?
So true.
And it takes them away.
It distracts them from where they could actually find
the contentment that they're looking for.
Absolutely.
There's so many things in what you just said.
I'm like, I want to talk about all of them
because I do feel like, well, first of all,
we get hundreds of emails here a day questions
and I feel like everybody just,
at the end of the day, am I normal?
That's okay, just tell me I'm okay,
I'm okay, just like.
Number one question, right?
Like, is it normal?
It's like, how does it feel to you?
Obviously, if it's harmful to your life,
if it's something, you know,
if you're, for example, with porn,
if you're watching too much porn
and it's a problem if you can't go to work and you can no longer have a direction.
Then we could talk about it, but most things people are worried about are they're fine.
It's okay to express your sexuality, give people permission to find out what is hot
for them and what works for them.
So I think that's such a great, interesting way to describe it, like that why?
Why does everyone really care?
I was like, you're fine, you're fine, don't trip on it.
But also when you're talking about working with couples,
so like, want to like the top questions we get asked
and probably think that you deal with as libidos,
like mismatch libidos and couples,
because of what happens in that long-term relationship
where intimacy does kind of stamp out desire.
And they all cancel it, we get close and come to,
you know, become one, but yeah, we don't want to have sex with our partners. And people always say, you know, stamp out desire. Yeah. And they all cancel it. You know, we get close and come for, you know, and we become one, but yeah, we don't want to
have sex with our partners.
And people always say, you know,
and then they go to a relationship therapist only.
And I'm like, would you just keep talking about
the same mystery as over and over again?
And you're never going to get down into what's really going on.
Yeah.
So I'm guessing with sex therapy,
you kind of help them untangle that.
Probably remove resentments that have built up over time.
Yeah.
And but then also in dealing with,
it's interesting intimacy versus eroticism. So then also in dealing with, it's interesting,
intimacy versus eroticism.
So if they come to you and they're like,
well, I don't even know what you mean,
but do you help them identify what's erotic to them
and share fantasies and stuff like that?
Absolutely.
Well, yes, and I don't necessarily think
that sharing fantasies is always the helpful thing to do.
Not often.
So sometimes it's helpful, sometimes it's not.
But helping people work out what it is that turns them on.
That's in contrast.
I'm going to say by chance.
Yeah, in contrast with what it is they
want to have in a relationship.
Because what we lust after sometimes
can be very different to what we want in a partner
and a life partner.
And that is, I think, a relatively common quandary for folks.
And it's something that we are not equipped to manage
because our sex and relationships education at school
doesn't navigate that ambiguity, you know.
And for a lot of people, what's hot is the ambiguity?
Is that area of all what I know about this?
And that for a lot of people is sexy.
Do you want to open a bank account with someone that makes you feel a bit unsafe?
Not necessarily, but it can be a real turn-on to go, oh, you know, what is it about this person that's so intoxicating, but we're not going to get a mortgage together.
Exactly. So what is it with, I know it's not just one answer, but how do you help couples fan those flames again and feel like get that
ambiguity back when we live
together and we own a house and have six children.
Yeah, look, it's not easy.
I can tell you that, but it does involve what I call a degree of self-inquiry.
So you need to go back and look at what your motivations for having sex are.
Yeah, you said, okay, let's go back to that.
So they have to think about.
They have to think about what their motivation is.
So, if they are looking for a motivation,
that's what, you know, like lust oriented,
that they wanna feel that lusty, kind of hot energy
that you feel when you first meet somebody,
you might not get that again in a long-term relationship.
I'm not saying that you won't, but you might not.
So, I often refer to it as that kind of intention
of sitting at the, you're trying to get to a destination, but you're sitting. So I often refer to it as that kind of intention of sitting at the,
you're trying to get to a destination, but you're sitting at a bus stop and you're waiting
for a bus that never comes because you're waiting to feel in the mood, you're waiting
to feel hot, you're waiting to feel excited and that bus isn't coming. And in the meantime,
you're sitting at the bus stop and all these cars are going past and Uber's are going
past and your friends are going past, taxis, everybody's going, you know, do you want
to ride, do you want to ride? And you're like, no, no, I'm fine.
I'm just going to sit here and wait for the bus.
And you sit and you sit and you sit and you wait for years
for this bus that never comes.
And in any other situation, if you had a destination
to get to, you would walk if you had to get there.
But for some reason, when it comes to sex,
we are so invested in having lust be the motivator that we will sit and wait for that bus even if it doesn't come.
We don't even investigate what?
And we don't investigate other modes of transport.
If we want to get to a place, we might have to get there in a bunch of different ways.
And if that bus isn't coming, that's going to be okay.
How else can we get there? Can we catch a ride with somebody else?
Uber, taxi, whatever. How else can we get there can we catch a ride with somebody else? Uber taxi whatever and That's the thing with sex is that folks get really locked into it has to look a certain way and it has to be a certain way
And it has to be like it is in the movies or it has to be like it was when I was 16
It's not that down you break down
You can take a bit of wine. Oh, yeah, it does
I mean I was gonna ask you about it because sex education here as a bismill
We don't get any sex education.
You're not straighter at this time.
So yeah, I mean Australia,
because I told you we do have so many
hello to all my Australians.
Let's hear it.
And all my listeners,
but yeah, I was just wondering
why the huge influx lately also of listeners,
I don't know if like what you're saying is
it's just even your, it's less there,
even less education, less.
I don't know that it's less,
but it's just sex is not less education, less, less, less, but it's
just sex is not something that's necessarily socially talked about.
I mean, there's a presence of sex in the media, but it tends to not be especially robust.
It tends to be very kind of light and it tends to be sort of very focused on being normal.
There's not a great exploration of sort of alternative
sex practices or alternative relationships. That is slowly starting to happen, but folks
are still, you know, trying to play the normal game, I think, in a lot of ways, and slowly
slowly that's going to start opening up.
Absolutely. There's more access to more information.
Right. Is there anything that you see as a difference between, um, you spend a lot of time
in the States and Australia
that's kind of a different kind of approach to sex
besides not talking about it?
Is there anything, I don't know trends or things
have come up lately, they're like,
oh, that's interesting.
Nice, Australia.
I think.
Is it all the same?
It's pretty much all the same in terms of the information
that's fed to us through the media
is similar to what's going on here.
But in terms of like when I teach classes in Australia and when I teach classes in the
US, I'm often amazed at how much more open Americans are with their personal information
in public spaces.
Right.
Right.
And it would never ever.
Oh my gosh.
So we are so.
Those kinds of questions in public.
They would come up one at a time and you know, I'll be at an event for an hour and a half
afterwards answering questions one by one
that would happen in a public forum in the US.
I was having needle-ass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like Australians would never, never do that.
Yeah, we're right, we're right, we're right.
Yeah, I guess that's it.
But really it's just sex.
It's just this big enigma with sex that I agree
with what you're saying that we all think
we will work on every other part of our life.
Yeah.
Well, anything we want to be good at,
or we want to strive, we want to achieve goals,
like we'll work really hard at our career,
on our health, like we want to run a marathon.
We'll train for that, our spirituality.
But sex is like this mystical thing
that we believe should just be amazing and perfect
all the time, because it was really good
during that glorious honeymoon phase
the first few months, and it's magic.
People think of sex as being this magical thing,
and when it's gone, it's poof.
And it's just like, I spend so much time, you know, as I'm sure you do just trying to get people to,
even just the basics of it. It's gonna take some work, the bus you're gonna have to look at where you're going.
But it's like fun. It's like, this is an interesting kind of work.
This is the best kind of work you could do. It'll help every other era of your life.
So I just...
And so I think it's a process. I mean, it never ends.
You know, I've been studying sex in various forms for over 20 years and I still feel like
I don't know everything.
I know a lot of stuff, but then I think I get to a point where I know a thing and then
it changes and I'm like, oh, actually, no, it's not that.
Exactly.
But what about the clitorist thing that just came out of the day?
I'm like, I thought I knew everything.
I'm like, there's nothing new to us, but that there's now they found out that that
clitorist is actually internal as well.
It's like a study, we knew this.
But great that they're still studying it.
It's not that what the do spot does exist doesn't exist
kind of thing.
And like, where do these are the stupidest studies
you could ever do?
But like, let's talk about the clitoris.
Like, did you see this?
It was like a few days ago.
They're just like, I don't even know.
Was a study.
But we've known for a while that it's internal.
We know the clitor literal legs and internal.
Do you do that with your, are you explaining to them?
Because I would think that just a lot of women, I know, they don't really even understand
their bodies or where to go or masturbation.
Absolutely.
Do you get them homework assignments?
Yeah.
Well, that's why I made my video series, The Atlas of Eritortic Anatomy and Arousal,
which is based on that kind of information, explaining to people how their bodies work
from a pleasure perspective and not a reproduction perspective.
So that's one of my real bug bears
that I, in Australia, the term sex and relation,
sorry, sex and reproductive health is thrown around a lot.
I don't know if that's a phrase.
Yeah, it is.
But the emphasis is on reproduction.
And the truth is, who has sex for reproduction?
Very few people.
Oh my God, I love this time.
Very, very few people.
First of all, not sexy.
It's well, it's not very sexy.
And if you think about,
they're all the times that you've had sex
in your rely on family,
and certainly all the times I've had sex in my life,
how many of those times have been to make a baby?
Never.
There you go.
Right.
So the emphasis on sex being for reproduction, especially when it comes to women's sexuality,
it's so glossed over with this fertility story.
Right.
And there's no room for women to escape from that narrative and create a new narrative
that's about pleasure.
Exactly.
So that is a really big thing that has to change.
And when they don't even know what's going on with their, with their voters and their
criticism.
But the clitoris, this is the thing, he's the internal
clitoris or that thing you never knew you you never knew you had. So
now it came out even in 2017, there's still so much about women's
anatomy that we're not talking about. For example, most of us
probably don't know that there's more to our clitoris than the
little rosebud shape. Now we know this little shape. Now, but
now they're talking about the internal clitoris, which I don't
really actually didn't
read like, okay, let's say it's bigger than you think, external circulus, you know, we
know all this, but I don't know why this study just came out, but I'm glad that it did
that people don't know.
And there needs to be more conversation about this.
I know.
I mean, it says there's a lot more than I should have thought about it.
I'm so frustrated about the thing, God, that there, you know, whatever.
I mean, I'm glad that they're, I'm like, okay,
welcome to the party, but you're right.
Women do need to understand my glitterous ring.
Oh my God, I was looking, okay.
So I've been looking at your ring,
and I thought it was like a wishbone,
which is see, talk about that, it's clear.
And I was just gonna compliment you on your ring.
Yeah.
I forget what that, where'd you get it?
It's gorgeous.
Penelope Jones, I think is her surname
She's a jewelry designer in New York and she make a little I can't even speak anymore
Yeah, it's called glittering glittering glittering
Penelope is Bella Penelope with an eye at the end. Oh my god
It's gorgeous and so sure and it comes in the gold color and then silver color. Oh my god I it's gorgeous. It's so beautiful. And it comes in the gold color and then silver color.
Oh my god.
I have really wide fingers.
Nothing ever fits me.
Oh, what do you think?
I know.
You know what I mean?
Why fingers?
Really wide.
Clitoris.
Is that anything?
Oh, I love it.
Okay, so I'm really obsessed with this clitoris.
And you're other way too.
They're beautiful.
Jewelry.
Thank you, gorgeous.
Just stunning.
Thank you, Kelly.
Okay, so where were we?
Clitoris is clitoris.
This is everywhere. Clidrs is up on the
web because they're pretty little pink. I gave little lips on the wall, but maybe you could just
decorate with with with clidrs is and such. Okay Cindy, don't know. I love that you're here.
This is we're just getting started. This is just like our four play. You're gonna stay, we're
gonna do some sex in the news. We're going to answer some questions for listeners. But right now we're
to take a quick break. Give a shout out to our sponsors.
Thank you so much for supporting them and helping keeping the show free.
I love you all.
We'll be right back.
Okay, I'm here with Cindy Darnal.
She is Australia's finest leading trusted therapist relationship educator, everything
in Australia.
You're the go-to sex person.
Thank you.
I want to come hang out with you in Australia.
Please do, that would be fabulous.
I know, we'll just dress up like, come on down.
Come on down.
Okay, I'm coming, coming, coming.
Okay, listen, so sex the news, there's other studies.
We talked about the clitoris earlier.
How happy couples deal with
mismatched sex drives. Okay, so we've got this this study that came out. Glad we're studying
clitoris and sex drives. How happy couples deal with mismatched sex drives. So mismatched libidos,
I'm sure that's probably people come to you out of time. They're very, very common. Right?
Like, but there's a thing I hate to say it's a problem. Like, who wants everything?
You're not hungry the same time as your partner.
You don't want to watch the same TV shows.
Why would you want to have sex the same time that always, all the time, years together?
Anyway, so they did the study and we'll get through them and they give tips and how to
keep, and I wanted to discuss them with you.
But it says, the interesting thing they found in this study was having sex less often wasn't linked to lower levels of relationship or partner satisfaction.
So earlier you were saying people want to know how many times a week is normal.
I'm always saying, I'll never give you a number. I'm not going to trap you.
But what the study says though is that this is not necessarily about the number of times a week you're having sex, that makes them happy.
So they talked about some things in here that does work for couples.
And let's see what they say.
So they say if you laugh a lot, again, we probably could do this on a side.
But if you laugh, happy couples, sex is really important.
But in happy couples, sex was really important, but it wasn't everything.
If you're looking at a dip in sex drive,
you should laugh about something together, just laughing.
Yeah, look, and I think that's that thing
where love and sex are not the same thing.
Now, so you can have a really happy relationship
and have not much sex in it,
or you can have a relationship that is based on
lots and lots of frequency of sex because
you're wanting to be normal or whatever your motivation is, and be resentful and grouchy
about it.
Exactly.
So, bigger is not always better, and frequency is not necessarily to be confused with the
quality of the sex.
Well, exactly.
It's more about the quality than the quantity when it comes to sex.
And what works for you in your private, you as are happy with ones, whenever the number is. Exactly. It's more about the quality than the quantity when it comes to sex and what works for you in your private You as are happy with one so we whenever the number is
Great. There's no problem. There's no problem. Exactly. Why are we trying to create a problem?
That's in the last thing. It's a lot of this chill out everyone being made up
You know that we're supposed to be doing it this many times a week or this many times a month and there's no question about
Well, what's it? Who's doing what to whom?
Right who's the people? Exactly. What are we doing here? Are we trying to connect? Are
we trying to have a good time? Are we trying to come? If you really need to have an orgasm,
just masturbate. Problem solved. Exactly. Right. And you said that's why you help couples
too. You help them realize, like, why do you want to sex? Why are you even doing it?
Which is such a good way to put it. Like, your purpose of it? Is it like check off the list right?
Okay, so other happy things that happy couples
How they deal with this mismatch sex drive is that they they date says date her plan but are date him to plan date nights
We can trips even an amazing evening walk with your partner,
non-sexual closest is important too.
So that's also helping to build intimacy,
which is so true.
Like keep that romance, get away, go out of town,
even if it's hard to run.
Not taking your partner for granted,
putting in the effort as you would with any,
and I think one of the things that we forget too,
is that relationships are alive.
They're not monoliths, they're not static,
they need nourishment.
And if you don't nourish a relationship
like a child or a pet or a plant that needs nourishment,
it's something that lives with you.
If you don't nourish it, it's gonna perish.
It's gonna die.
It's so true.
So if you don't invest in your relationship
within the form of attention and energy,
it's going to die
also. So this whole thing that, you know, we love each other and we made our commitment
and we, you know, that's it. We're done now. It's like, no, you've got to keep investing
time and effort and energy.
Right. It's almost like they said, I was thinking of like signing a car lease. Like you
signed a car lease and like every, you know, at least you have to go for your, I just
had to go for my check up for a one year. Like they made me go. Like many was like,
I have many Cooper and the lights were going off. I had to go over my check-up for a one-year. Like they made me go. Like many was like, I have many Cooper. And the lights were going off.
I had to go, but in relationships,
you sign that you get married and no one's like,
until there's a crisis and it's on fire,
people aren't thinking they have to maintain it
and work on it.
It's literally magic.
We got married and we made the commitment.
And it's like a one-time thing.
It's so not.
Okay, have a sex bed.
Have a separate bed, I guess if you can,
if you don't live in a studio,
but kids falling asleep in the bed
or a partner storm,
were listed as some of the common barriers
to a bustling sex life.
So have separate beds.
Have separate beds, sleep in separate places.
I think separate home sounds delightful.
Are you married?
Are you in a relationship or are you?
No.
No, and no.
Okay, no, yeah, me neither.
But I'm like, if I was,
I would not want to sleep over in my house.
I mean, I wouldn't want to share a home, I don't think. But I think
look, some of the most successful relationships that I've seen through my work are couples who
they don't live in the same house and a lot of them don't live in the same city.
Right? Because you need that space and that helps to create the intensifies the eroticism.
The eroticism, because youism is something to look forward to.
You create that longing again.
I'm not going to see you for two weeks, and I can't wait to see you.
It's going to be really exciting.
You can keep the thing going with sexy texts and all that kind of stuff.
Whereas if you're seeing each other morning noon night,
or you're seeing each other every day,
and you're smelling each other's farts and all that stuff,
it's just not very sexy anymore that stuff. It's just not very sexy.
Right, exactly.
It's so not.
It's just like, shut the bathroom door at least.
Really?
Everyone can do that.
You can shut the bathroom door and maybe fart in the closet.
Just, you can do that.
You can try.
Right, exactly.
No.
A big old man is.
I know, it's true.
I, so, okay, so here's my question for you though.
What are some of the,
then the unique ways that you think,
have helped couples,
because I know that there's probably a lot of people
listening, like, what am I supposed to do?
We don't have that extra bedroom.
We've got kids, we both work a lot.
We share a bed for now.
We've got everything planned.
We can't leave town.
How would you,
whether they're going,
how can I get the space Emily?
They're listening, going, what do we do?
Yeah, look, it's really difficult. It's you, they're going, how can I get the space Emily, they're listening going, what do we do?
Yeah, look, it's really difficult. It's really, really difficult. If you don't have the,
you know, access to such resources where you've got time or babysitters or space away,
it can be really, really difficult. And it really, I guess it really comes down to then making
your sex nights or your date days or whatever
they are, making them a priority where you can.
And if you can get kids to go off with grandma or aunt and uncle and just, I guess, to seize
any opportunity.
And also to remember that whole idea about the bus stop, that if it comes to your date
night and you're not in the mood
that sometimes waiting for the mood to be the thing that motivates you to get into sex is not
going to be the thing and that once you start then the arouse will come, then the mood comes and then
you're like, you know, 20 minutes in, you're like, actually, this is great, it's a little bit like
waking up on a cold morning and going to the gym and you look outside and you think, oh, I really don't want to do this,
but you make yourself go.
And once you're there, then the endorphins are kicking in.
And you're like, yeah, this is great.
And I'm really glad I'm here now,
but it took me 30 minutes to get into it.
Exactly.
And sometimes sex is going to be like that.
And it's not very, you know, it's not very pretty
and it's not very romantic
and it's certainly not very rom-comy.
But it's just how it is, you know? it's just how it is. It's true.
I use the same gym and algae.
And you're never going to regret.
Like, the hardest part when I was getting out the door
getting your shoes tied, getting your shoes tied,
getting your shoes on.
What did he say?
He's difficult.
For me, it's finding my shoe.
Ones in the car, ones in my bed.
But the thing is, is that I feel like, yeah,
you're not going to regret it.
No one ever says why to go to the gym or why to have sex, right?
Like, you're going to be happy that you did it. You got to get started, but you got to make that connection that you got to, like're not going to regret it. No one ever says why to go to the gym or why to have sex, right? Like, you're going to be happy that you did it.
You got to get started, but you got to make that connection
that you got to, like, pour yourself to do it.
But here's the interesting thing I was thinking about so many
couples who don't, you know, I get it.
You don't have the resources.
You don't have the kit, you know, you don't have help.
But the thing is, if it's a priority going into the relationship,
you have enough money probably to do, you know, enough resources to maybe, I don't know, eat out a
few times.
Whatever you budget, your buddy, I think there needs to be part of that or your time, your
resources, which is money, time, other things like that.
To relationship, like we need this date night, this requirement.
So whatever we have to do to get a babysitter, to get the help, to get somebody or to wake
up an hour earlier and ask, I mean, it has to be the priority because this is, you will have this problem.
If it is something that you want, you do have to put in the effort to make it happen.
Right.
And I guess one of those things, too, is that a lot of folks are tired at night, and they
sort of think, you know, I get to date night and they're tired.
And so to remember that sex doesn't have to happen at night, it can happen on a Saturday
morning or a Sunday afternoon. And that's often when folks are less anxious because then they don't have to happen at night. It can happen on a Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon.
That's often when folks are less anxious because then they don't have to go to work.
If the kids can go away for sports classes or whatever they can do in the afternoon, and
then you've got a window of two or three hours to drop the kids off at basketball and come
home and do your business.
You've got energy because it's still the middle of the day.
You're not tired and you don't have to go to work and you can focus and spend that time sort of just getting into stuff.
And if again, if it is a priority. Right. We all hit right. If you make it a priority, you will
then you'll start to see the time in the day. Like I don't really need to go shopping right now or
do this thing or stare at my Instagram for now or whatever people are doing with us for a time. You
could find the time. You all the same amount of time in the day.
All good points.
The next one was just like, keep your independence.
You know, couples, happy couples, keep their independence, like, live a part, living a part
but together, you know, just don't give up your life, keep your life going and then just
be thoughtful, thoughtful gestures.
Yeah, I think that's a really important one.
It's just, yeah, that's all for us.
Thinking about your partner.
Yeah, it's true.
Being kind. Yes. Cindy Darnell, this is awesome. You have me answers to me all for us. I think my partner. Yeah it's true. Being kind. Yes. Mm-hmm.
Cindy Darnell.
This is awesome.
Have you had me answer some emails?
I'd love to.
Okay. So if you have a question you want me to answer on the show, that's awesome.
You can now text me your question, which is so easy.
Text 7979-SK-MLI to 7979.
I know it should have been 69.
But apparently we can get 69, we got 79.
That'd be so obvious.
But yeah, you guys, you just text Ask Emily one word
and then you get the form back
and you fill it out, just like you would on our website.
It's super easy.
You can also submit a question at sexwithmlle.com.
Click on Ask Emily tab
and also include the information that we need,
your gender, your age, where you live
and how you listen to the show.
Okay, hi Emily.
I've been listening to your show for years and love that you bring science and psychology
into your answers, not simply a no-it-all attitude.
It's pretty refreshing.
I was with my partner for almost three years and we did a fair amount of experimenting to
discover our kinks.
He continues to be my best friend and is the person I trust most in this world.
We have different plans for the future so there will come a time where I'll start dating
someone new and he's totally cut off.
In the meantime, we still get together to play with others.
I'm at the point where I can engage in lusty meetups with him, feel totally comfortable
my skin, ask for what I want, and be happy to walk away with a couple orgasms, or more
from lucky.
I'm afraid that if I keep engaging in these twists, I'll end up not going after my potential
long-term partner as I would temporarily be giving up the lifestyle.
I still very much enjoy romantic vanilla sex, but I need to unleash the beast sometimes.
I'm just getting started on rigging and don't want to give it up before I've seen work
and take me.
Do you have any ideas for how I could possibly find a balance
while being ready to receive Mr. Wright for me?
Thanks in advance, Emily, 33 Massachusetts.
Yeah, I'm seeing here like she doesn't need to,
I feel like Emily, you're putting a lot of pressure
on yourself here to like choose where you want to go
and what kind of sex you want.
It sounds like that thing,
I was saying before about the being normal in contrast to being content.
Like if maybe her Mr. Right is going to be a guy
who's up for all these things.
Sounds like it should be.
If this is the track that you're,
I absolutely don't want to say shots,
but right, I feel like it doesn't.
She sounds like she knows what she likes.
Which I love.
And yet there's that thing of,
I can't have this full time
because I have to get a long-term partner. So that's the distinction between that I have to be normal
in contrast with what makes me happy. Right. Right. Because they don't, we don't see a lot of
why those need to be separate for her. If she were here, that's what I'd say. Right. You say,
why exactly? You'd say, why does that need to be separate that you, yeah, like you need to cut off
all this sexual enjoyment that you're having to film right now to find Mr. Wright having a great time.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
Emily, this is such a perfect example.
You're right, of this restriction.
I feel like you could find someone that you want doing what you want right now.
I think Mr. Murphy would be a guy who'd be up for that kind of stuff.
Because then you're just going to want this stuff, but I think there's a lot of people who
think they have to stop to have the kid and have the family when that's not even really
what they want. Because we don't see a lot of great examples
of alternative relationships working.
Alternative.
Or even women who choose to not have children,
being celebrated in our cultures.
We just celebrate that.
How can we do that?
How you guys do in Australia with that?
Here, I feel like I'm just...
We're not doing so well with that.
Right?
We still struggle with that.
It's not easy.
And it's like, my body never spoke to me in that.
I'd never said, you should have tried.
It was never the goal.
Like, this is my baby, my friend.
You know, take care of friends, family, like the show.
But it's fine.
Like, we're not doing anything wrong, I know.
That's another show.
It is another show.
Okay, so Emily, you're fine.
I feel like I love that you're thinking
through all this stuff,
and it's great that you emailed because I feel like,
first of all, you're so ahead of the game,
Emily, that you, she's 33, all these things that you love
and you're finding them and you're asking for what you want.
I think it's now time to think about really stop and picture
like what do you want out of a relationship?
How do you picture it going down and like really
be true to yourself and you'll find that partner.
Doesn't that even know?
Hi, Emily, I'm a 32 year old guy from Aberdeen, Scotland.
My girlfriend is 26. We've been together for six years and I know I want to marry her.
When we have sex, it's fantastic.
Honestly, I feel that deep connection every time.
Recently, we haven't had sex as much due to life, work, stress, just being busy.
I'm writing because I just did something I feel terrible about.
I'm actually in a bus home to the house that I share with my girlfriend.
I'm distraught to be honest. I've just paid for sex with a stranger who I found advertising services
online and for whatever reason I found myself going through with it. I felt a little horny this
morning so I put on some porn and began masturbating. The porn wasn't doing it for me. Out of curiosity,
I clicked one of the meat locals ads, I found myself signing up contacting
a girl, then I only thought about masturbation and did masturbate because I was still turned
on by this whole experience.
However, after quick shower I still felt turned on, the next thing I knew I messaged the girl
was an taxi at her flat then in her bed.
I knew what I was doing was wrong, but this haze just came over me and I felt like I was
just following my penis's orders.
Lame, I know.
The sex was just terrible, as if that even matters.
Emily, I have tears in my eyes as I write this.
I feel completely overwhelmed with guilt.
I know telling her would destroy her and I want to avoid hurting her at all costs.
I've never cheated before.
I feel so awful for doing so.
I don't want to lose who I consider to be the girl of my dreams.
I should mention I suffer from manic depression and I'm bipolar and I've self-destructive tendencies, which until now I've been dealing with.
Could my mental health be a factor in this shitty thing I've done? How can I get passes?
Think for your time Charlie 32 Scotland.
for your time, Charlie 32, Scotland. I know, my heart went out to him and then I saw the part
about his mental, he's had some challenges.
I think he's got to get his mental health
in order.
For sure.
So sometimes what can happen is when we engage
in sexual activities that later on we think,
oh gosh, I shouldn't have done that.
It can sometimes be, sex can sometimes be the symptom.
What can actually be sitting underneath it
is some unaddressed mental health things, anxiety,
disorders and things like that.
So having somebody that you can work through
your mental health issues with,
your anxiety issues with can be really helpful
in order to manage what is going to be the impetus
for you to go and sort of engage
in out of control, sexual behavior
that makes you feel shitty about yourself,
that it's not the sex that's making you
necessarily do these things.
It's unmanaged, unmanaged, unmanaged,
emotional situations, anxiety situations,
which with an open-minded, helpful therapist can be,
I don't wanna say easy to manage,
but certainly can be managed.
Right, yeah, I think that that's gonna be, you said that want to say easy to manage, but certainly can be managed.
Right.
Yeah, I think that that's got to be, you said that you've been handling it for a while
and now you're not, so I think that, yeah, I think the first thing goes to you great therapist
that you could neck with and check in on this, but I don't think that you need to tell
your girlfriend.
No, I would say that.
I do not tell her girlfriend, and I just like, after one time cheating, I mean, what
you're thinking of.
Well, if it can really, it can be, you know, a relief for the guilt.
Sometimes it can be a bit of a pressure valve to be able to say that sort of thing.
But sometimes it can actually cause more damage than it's worth in a relationship
that's otherwise really, really great.
Right.
Depends also on the kind of relationship depends if she's open, like if she would hear something
like that, how she would respond. I don't know her, he knows her better.
And his guilt feeling about it, he's recognizing that yeah, he was feeling horny, but that
really was probably not the motivator because, you know, we all feel horny and managed to
kind of keep ourselves under control.
Right.
So hornyness is not an excuse for doing stuff that sits in contrast with
your values. So that's where I think looking at therapeutically is going to be much more helpful to
him. Absolutely. I would say do not pass go right to therapy. And thank you, Charlie, for sharing
this to me. My heart goes out to you. I picture them like crying on the bus. So just get some out there.
Hi Emily, I just started listening to your podcast, Way Late to the Game.
My wife and I have been married for seven years and have two beautiful children.
However, I think we would both agree that our sex life is not ideal.
I'm the type that would have sex three times a day every day where she's happy if it's
once a month.
I think she's open to trying new things such as toys, etc.
However, I don't think she wants to invest in a couple's toy due to the cost. Do you have any recommendations for a lower cost toy that we can use together or any other
suggestions to help spark up our bedroom time?
Thanks so much.
I enjoy listening to your podcast, Adam32 Southern California.
So this is what we're talking about.
This is not a problem.
This is your life.
This is what happens in relationships.
Yeah, it really is.
So, you know, it's not wrong that you don't want sex
at the same time and it could also be,
I think let's you say the way he's talking about it
with her too, I'm wondering like, you know,
I just wonder sometimes how when couples have these problems
they wanted to start addressing like,
well, we're not having sex and they get to that day.
So what he's saying, he wants it three times a day,
he wants it once a week.
Yeah, I mean, I guess the question that he could ask is what kind of sex does she enjoy?
For him, that's three times a week thing.
Sorry, three times a day thing is, if it's not important to him to just have that release,
then he can manage that by himself, that he doesn't necessarily need to include her in that,
especially if she doesn't want to be there.
Again, if he wanted to engage her in sex a bit more, checking out what it is that
actually she enjoys about sex and offering her more of that.
Rather than thinking about, I want this, I want this.
Think about, just to flip the narrative around a bit and go, what are you offering her?
How could you coax her into your world a little bit more if frequency is that important to you find out what she likes and offer her that
See that's amazing and love it. That's amazing point because I think that in relationship skies are and women
We're often trying to figure out what can we get when we're not getting where my needs met
But it's just like giving back just like what are the entire universe is about having gratitude and giving back your partner
Finding out what she likes would come back to, you know,
and serve you both.
That can be a really helpful thing to flip it
and go, what am I to bring rather than what am I to get?
So if they were in your office, Cindy Darnal,
and they were like, she was like, I don't know what I like.
I just, I just like when he's on top, what do you mean?
Like, what do you, how do you work with couples?
Like, let's say she doesn't know.
Yeah, well, it's actually really common
for a lot of women to not know what they like,
which is, again, what happens when, you know, we don't have adequate sex education,
that a lot of women don't get to do that inquiry about what do I like, what turns me on,
what do I need. And I really encourage them to slow things down and practice touching different parts
of themselves or getting their partners to touch different parts
for extended periods of time.
One of the things that we need to do is not rush.
But what can happen when we slow things down
is it gives more room for anxiety to manifest.
And that can really throw people off course.
Because it's like, quick, quick, quick,
quick get it done, get it done.
I just want you to stick it in and get it over with
because then I can go about my business and do whatever it is I have to do for the rest of the day.
And so that what happens then with the slowing down thing is, boom, anxiety goes up. And
so we have to find ways of being able to sit with that discomfort and not give ourselves
over to it and have it ruin the erotic connection. That sometimes that can actually be the inspiration
keeping ourselves focused, keeping our minds on the job
and it goes right back to why am I doing this
in the first place.
So if any uncomfortable emotions come up
that are like quick, quick, quick, I just want this over with
because I don't want to slow down and just
just be in the same place.
Yeah, I don't want this.
I don't want this.
You know.
And so if you do just want to have fast dirty sex,
that's fine.
Like, you know, I'm all for all kinds of sex, but recognize that if fast dirty sex is
not doing it for you and you want something different, recognize that slowing down is
going to be the key to finding out what it is that you like and in that slowing down process
you might experience emotional shifts that you have not encountered before.
Love it.
And that is okay.
Right. God, I love it. And that is okay. Right.
God, I love it.
I think Al is so much sex is about slowing down, just getting it over with is just a thought
of like just rip your clothes off.
You're not turned on yet.
We were talking about all the time.
Go five times slower than you think you should ever want.
Cindy, that was great advice.
Slow down.
And I'm actually, we're not going to talk about sex toys.
I think that we get some good advice here is to slow down reconnect with her, find out if she wants sex toys.
Yeah, because if she's not interested in sex toys or she's, you know, depending on what kind
of sex toys maybe she wants you to go down on her, maybe she wants to hang out with you in the
shower, maybe she wants to, you know, just spend a whole night massaging together. All these
kinds of things, we don't know what she wants.
So diverting to a sex toy is kind of like
diverting the elephant in the room.
There's something going on.
It's not necessarily a bad thing,
but I think he needs to activate his curiosity.
I love it.
And get curious about it rather than buying toys necessarily.
And you guys know how I feel about toys.
I'm not going to give you a toy right now.
I'm not going to give you a suggestion.
OK, hey, Emily, I've listened to your podcast
for the last four months, and it really
helped me change my perspective on sex.
I've done my spring cleaning, releasing old baggage.
We had a spring cleaning around here.
I just want to release all their issues.
Sometimes it takes two months.
I invested more loob and encourage others to listen to your advice.
So here's the thing.
I've referred back to some of your old podcasts and understand what
you're saying about orgasms.
But I'm having a hard time with my orgasm.
I'm beginning to believe it doesn't exist.
I've had a few sexual partners and tried masturbating but I still can't reach the big
O.
Am I just not in the right mood?
Could I possibly not have a sex drive at all?
I've tried reaching orgasm for the last three years with no results.
Practice makes perfect, so how long it take you or other members of your team to find
your orgasm.
Thank you for your advice and advance in Serly Karina 23 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Karina, I get it, honey.
It takes some time.
It does.
It does.
It's not going to give you a number. I'm not going to give you how many weeks, but it is going to take an effort.
And so, and when you say you've tried over the last few years, like a few times, you just
sit down and try to masturbate.
I mean, it's, and what has she tried?
Right.
Exactly.
So, do you get women who come to you?
Lots, lots and lots and lots.
So, it's really, really common.
I love that you're here. And the first thing is again, because we can get
really caught up in the result being the certain way. And I understand for her that she's
been trying for years. But sometimes it can take an hour, two hours, depending on what's
going on for a full arousal. She's never ever had an arousal happen. Yeah, for a full arousal
happen. So if she is, you know, because, for arousal. Yeah, for a full arousal to happen. That's what it is.
So if she is, you know, because sometimes I'll say to women who struggle with orgasms,
you know, when you're masturbating, how long do you masturbate for?
And they might say, like, 10 or 15 minutes.
And then they'll stop.
And I say, why do you stop?
And then like, I'm bored.
My mind is wondering, I'm, you know, they get frustrated, they get angry with themselves.
And it's just like, this isn't going to work.
I give up.
So that could be happening,
and it might be the difference between, you know,
spending that 15 minutes and spending 45 minutes.
And again, that the focus on curiosity has to be there,
that if it's very goal-oriented, if it's, you know,
I need for it to happen, and I need for it to look
a certain way, and it's not happening,
it could be because our minds can wander,
our minds can start telling us all kinds of unhelpful stuff
about, oh, you're doing it wrong.
This is stupid.
You're stupid.
Those sorts of things that are chattering mind can say to us
that take us away from what we're supposed to be doing,
which is feeling the pleasure and staying focused
and staying present.
A lot of us, especially women, have a really hard time staying present during any kind of sex, especially masturbation
because they're worrying about how long it's going to take. Are they doing it right?
When is it going to happen? Maybe my pussy is not normal. All this kind of stuff that actually
makes the whole problem worse.
Exactly. I was going to say those are all good points because I think that they think it's gonna happen
after 10 minutes, it's just gonna, yeah,
touching yourself doesn't feel that good.
Would you, she might be just going,
like I'm not sure you tell us a gubulous
in the show for Alcarina,
but just going right up your clitoris and starting.
Like that's not gonna do it.
It's like setting the mood.
And I've talked about this a lot on the show.
I mean, I love hearing your perspective as well,
so I mean, it's just the the process taking
the time and thinking about, could be reading a radical, like you might need to feed her
mind a little bit.
Absolutely.
And noticing at different stages in her menstrual cycle.
So often, you know, that time when we're in ovulation can be a time where orgasms are going
to be much more robust and stronger.
If they are going to be present, that could be a helpful thing for her to find out when
she's ovulating.
If she's taking any kind of hormonally based contraceptive, that could be a helpful thing for her to find out when she's ovulating. If she's taking any kind of hormonally-based contraceptive, that could be interfered.
Exactly.
Any depressants, I was good to say that too, if you're on any medication, a criminal that
could also be it, but I just think it's that, you know, I had a friend in college, she
went away, she had an internship, for like a month in Colorado, and she was like working
at some school or something.
She wasn't doing this in the school, this part of the story. She said, you know, every night
she would come home and she's like, I've never had orgasm and I'm gonna, we were like seniors,
but we seniors and she said, I'm just gonna try. And so for she was there for like a month and
she said every night for like an hour, she stayed in her room and she just kept trying to find it
like for their fingers. She didn't happen and like she just made herself do it and finally it was
like the third week, you know, of the mod that she'd been trying
and she finally like,
but that was like a lot,
like I think it was like an hour tonight,
she was like doing it and she didn't stop it.
It's like, you have,
it's like that kind of drive,
but don't put,
if you could do that drive
and that intensity and that passion
for finding your orgasm
without all the negative self-talk
and without all the limits on when it should happen
it might take you months.
But the thing is, it can be a very enjoyable process
if you're just curious about, how does it feel
when it's not just going if you're putting your fingers
inside you, but how does it feel when you rub your fingers
lately over your own body, over your nipples,
even inside of your elbow, your arms, using lube is important. I mean, just start to just get
curious and feel the sensations, like getting a massage, you know, and not have that
cool, but I'm not going to give you a number here, Krena, we're not going to tell you
how long, but I feel like you do have the determination and you do the passion, Krena.
So I think you just need to go easy at yourself and give it a little more time.
Don't beat yourself up. Don't beat yourself up. I think you just need to go easy at yourself and give it a little more time. Don't beat yourself up.
Don't beat yourself up.
I think we all beat ourselves up.
I'm not beat myself up now,
because you've been here,
and I'm really happy having you here on this.
I'm really happy that I'm here too.
They need me because I'll be like,
why'd she leave and I'll be sad.
I'll come back another time.
Promise? This was awesome.
This was a, this was so wonderful having you here.
