31. Answering Your Sex Questions with Emily Nagoski
We’re back with author and sex educator, Emily Nagoski, taking our Pod Squad’s questions about sex.
1. How to navigate a relationship when one partner has a lower sex drive and the other has a higher sex drive.
2. The “sleepy hedgehog” practice Emily suggests to help partners find their way back to each other after months (or years) of not having sex.
3. How to raise our kids in a more sex-positive family culture.
4. Emily advises Glennon on an exercise to help unbind her bedroom silence.
