You're checking in with family. You're exercising at home. You're meditating and taking sanity walks and me time. But... where's your sexuality in this quarantine?
If you're single and in isolation (like me) I'm gonna guess it's preeeeetty dormant. But this is a time of high stress, and whether or not you realize it, sex and stress are, er, bedmates. On this episode I'm blessed to have two very badass women from the world of sex positivity, Dr. Jess O'Reilly and Marla Renee Stewart, who have recently teamed up to write a very cool new book called "The Ultimate Guide to Seduction & Foreplay."
Now, I know what you're thinking: That sounds like a book for couples! But here's what I learned from talking to these two women: while the idea of seduction often operates in our culture on the assumption that you have a partner, in actually it isn't about "performing" or "achieving" but learning your own sexual/ seduction language in order to have more meaningful connections and to better understand your sexual values. Ever wonder what your own personal seduction style is? What exactly turns you on? Why you have "chemistry" with some people and with others it's like flirting with a plaster wall?
This alone time is an awesome time to learn more about what makes you tick in order to have stronger interactions when we all get to date IRL once more. I don't know about you, I'm gonna be armed and ready with my favorite movie sex scene at the ready. :)
