Why Your Mind Is Blocking Your Pleasure (& What to Do About It)
6/19/202627 min
If you've ever found yourself distracted, disconnected, or just going through the motions during sex, this episode is for you. Today, I talk through the very first sexual intelligence framework pillar: Embodiment. Being truly present in your body during sex isn't something you're either born with or not, it's a skill you can actually learn and practice. I walk you through exactly what embodiment means, why so many of us lose it (and why that's not your fault), and the simple techniques I use myself that can completely transform how you experience pleasure, intimacy, and connection. Whether you're single or partnered, this is the foundation everything else is built on, and I promise once you start practicing it, you'll feel the difference in and out of the bedroom.

I am so excited to finally share this with you. I am going on tour. It is the Best Sex Ever Tour, and I hope you'll join me, and the show is all about you, the audience. Every night I'm gonna be answering your questions, win prizes, and leave with secrets to have the best sex ever. Every night is different because the show is all about you. So here's the dates. July 7th in Rosemont, Illinois, at Zanies, then heading to Philadelphia on August 5th, Nashville on September 29th, and Austin on October 7th. More cities to come. Come with your partner, your friends. Fly solo. You'll leave with practical tools, plenty of laughs, maybe some surprises. Well, definitely some surprises. Visit sexwithemily.com/events for tickets and tour information. I will see you there. Can't wait to meet you. We spend more time thinking about sex than actually feeling the sex that we're having, okay? Is sometimes we're thinking, like, "Do I look okay? Am I doing this right? What is my partner thinking? Am I gonna orgasm?" Think of your body like a musical instrument in this way. If you're disconnected, it's like pressing random keys without knowing the melody, and when you're embodied and you're truly there, you're just, like, naturally creating, like, this symphony of pleasure. Look in the mirror without judgment. Appreciate your curves, your lines, your softness, you know, your strength. Practice
