You get your teeth cleaned. You get your oil changed. You replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.
It’s a fact that certain things in life require regular maintenance.
Your sex life is one of those things.
In this episode, I speak with licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Shannon Chavez.
A nationally recognized expert, public speaker and prolific writer, Dr. Chavez specializes in “all things sexuality” working with individuals and couples (of all genders and orientations).
Because your sex life requires regular maintenance, it’s important to check in with an expert regularly, instead of waiting until you’re in crisis mode.
In this episode, we talk about how challenging it can be to suggest to a partner that you see a sex therapist.
Also, in order to enjoy a healthy sex life, Dr. Chavez recommends:
- What items should be removed from your bedroom immediately.
- How to create more intimacy with your partner outside of the bedroom.
- How to establish your rules as a couple.
Plus, she shares:
FIVE SIGNS YOU AND YOUR PARTNER SHOULD SEE A SEX THERAPIST
- Communication Breakdowns
- Constant Shaming or Shutting Down Requests
- Unsure Where To Start In Order To Fix Their Relationships
- Common Avoidance Patterns
- Unable To Settle Issues Without Professional Guidance
Later, Dr. Chavez and I bond over our fondness for Liberator brand sex furniture (made in USA!)
The Liberator Sex Chaise (She owns one)
The Liberator Ramp (I own one)
The Liberator Wedge (I own one)
We also talk about our dream TV show that combines sex and interior design. This concept is registered and any attempt to produce it without my permission will be met with several very angry lawyers.
