Would You Try This in The Bedroom?

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of my all-time favorite tools: the Yes No Maybe List. If you've ever felt curious about trying something new in bed but didn't know how to bring it up — or didn't even know what was "on the menu" — this episode is for you. I'll walk you through exactly how to introduce the list to your partner, how to fill it out (solo or together), and most importantly, how to turn your “yeses” into real plans you'll actually follow through on. I'm also sharing some incredible stories from our community, breaking down newer terms you might not have heard of, and answering your live questions about what to do when you and your partner don't match up on your answers.

[upbeat music] I'm ready to share this with you. I am hitting the road. For the first time ever, I'm bringing the Best Sex Ever tour to cities across the country.

I'm starting in July 7th in Rosemont, Illinois, at Zanies Rosemont. Head over there and join me.

Date night is really such a powerful way to feel more connected to your partner, to know that this is the one night or the one afternoon a week that's just about us. Leave our phones inside, get a babysitter, and prioritize. I'm bored with the same things, but I actually don't know what I want to try. And I love it because, like, sometimes we know we want to mix things up and we want something different, but we don't know where to start. I have learned so much about my sexuality personally in my single years because I had the freedom to actually think about, "What did I like in my last relationship? What worked for me? What
