Is Your Sex Life “Normal”?
4/24/202641 min
In this live episode of Sex With Emily, I’m answering your real, unfiltered questions, covering everything from casual sex and whether it’s actually right for you, to performance anxiety and what really happens to your sex life after the honeymoon phase ends. We get into how to talk to your partner about things like blood flow and stress playing a bigger role in arousal than you think, and how to reignite connection when sex starts to feel routine or less frequent. I also break down why scheduling sex isn’t boring- It’s actually one of the most powerful tools for long-term intimacy! Also, solo pleasure can support (not replace) your relationship. If you’ve ever wondered “is this normal?” when it comes to your sex life… this episode is for you.

Okay. So if you've been listening to this show for a while, you know I'm not about random sex toys or gimmicks. I'm about tools that actually support your pleasure, your communication, and your connection. Well, that's exactly why we created the shop Sex With Emily store. Everything in there is curated by me and my team, and these are products I trust, I recommend to clients, and would tell my friends about. I do tell my friends about. It's what I talk about all the time. Whether you're exploring solo pleasure, looking to reconnect with a partner, or you really just want something body safe and beginner friendly, we've organized it so you don't feel overwhelmed. People love the Dame Pillow for supported sex, the Magic Wand Waterproof... Oh my God, it's so good. Crave Vesper, massage candles, Jove flavored lube, We-Vibe Touch, uh, clitoral vibrators. There's just so many things on there because pleasure shouldn't be confusing. It should feel empowering. You can check it out at shop.sexwithemily.com and find something that supports where you are right now, or just click the link in the show notes. Also, keep an eye out for curated collections coming soon. You know what gets in the way of great sex more than anything? Overthinking. It's that mental checklist, the distractions, the wait, what about the mess moment that pulls you right out of your body, and that's exactly why I love Common Confidential, because they've thought about the details so you don't have to. Their massage butter is so rich, so silky, and designed to keep you present in sensation. It melts into the skin in a way that just feels effortless, so touch becomes something you actually sink into, not rush through. Then there are the love towels. They're super soft, absorbent, and right there when you need them.
