Well through my personal experience, we are comfortable boasting about the highs of our sex life but I don\u2019t hear too much conversation about body image issues, pre-mature ejaculation, and depleting sex drive.\nAs you can see from the title and our intro so far, today\u2019s conversation is going to be a bit explicit. Our guest is a straight-shooter so this is your warning to look out for young ears.\nSpeaking of today\u2019s guest, joining me is Susan Bratton. For 20 years, Susan has been empowering singles and couples across the gender spectrum to have hot, intimate sex. Susan believes that shame-free, frequent sexual pleasure is every person\u2019s birthright.\nSusan wasn\u2019t always this sex expert. Like most of us, she lacked the know-how in order to maintain intimacy and passion in her relationship. After 11 years of lackluster sex in her marriage, she hit a tipping point, and told her partner it wasn\u2019t working. But instead of giving up, they went to therapy, frequented sex workshops, and started a journey to transform their sex life.\nWith this episode, I hope to de-stigmatize the discussion around sex. It\u2019s a skill. You have to put effort into learning how to have great sex and there's nothing wrong with that. It\u2019s okay to lack confidence in this area. I\u2019m guessing there hasn\u2019t been a lot of real education up until this point.\nBut that changes here. We jump right into orgasms, discuss simple bedroom techniques you can start practicing with, and Susan shares ideas on how to reignite your sex life.\n\u00a0\nKey Takeaways:\n[4:54] How to overcome the casm-gasm\n[14:09] Orgasmic cross training\n[16:23] Bullseye touching technique\n[20:16] Can a couple be happy together without good sex?\n[22:23] Initial steps to reignite your sex life and overcome bedroom boredom\n[27:33] Creating a sex bucket list\n[37:00] Spiritual sexuality\n[43:11] Asking for what you want\u2026when you don\u2019t know what you want\n\u00a0\nMentions - Books:\nWomen's Anatomy of Arousal by Sheri Winston\nSexual Soulmates by Susan Bratton\n\u00a0\nMentions - Websites:\nBetterLover.com\nExpandHerOrgasmTonight.com\nSexualSoulMatePact.com\nPersonalLifeMedia.com\n\u00a0\nMore of Susan:\nSusanBratton.com\nInstagram: @susanbratton\n\u00a0\nMore of TSIR:\nFind show notes and more at https://www.tsirpodcast.com/\nFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tsirpod/","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/a9013e3f-662a-4b9e-81bf-b78aebd0d406/cover-art-99-9e1md.png"}
