0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Gross podcast.
0:11.3	My guest today, Emily Morse, is the creator and host of the podcast, Sex with Emily,
0:16.8	and she's also the author of the book Smart Sex, How to Boost Your Sex IQ and Own Your Pleasure.
0:24.6	The uh-uh isn't part of the title, but you get it.
0:27.5	And, uh, Emily has a doctorate in human sexuality.
0:31.5	So we're going to get into this.
0:33.6	Now, what I love about this conversation is Emily's focus on own your shit as the path towards having better sex or turning good sex into mind-blowing sex.
0:45.4	Oh, that feels damn right.
0:47.5	So whether you're in a committed relationship, maybe you practice non-monogamy, maybe you're just living it up, having some one-night stands, you've got a booty call, friends with
0:54.9	benefits, maybe you're embracing self-discovery and communication.
0:58.8	There is going to be something in here for you.
1:02.4	So, let's dive in.
1:04.5	The infamous Emily Morris, welcome.
1:07.5	So good to be here, Mark.
1:08.5	Thanks for having me.
1:09.7	Sex with Emily, the podcast. Did you say
1:12.5	18 season? I did say this is my 18th year. Yeah. 18 years of talking about sex. That's it.
1:21.2	That's it, Mark. 18 years since I started sex with Emily. I don't even know how that's happening,
1:26.2	but here we are. Almost two decades.
1:28.3	You know, for most people, that's something that they never talk about, and it's like their shadow
1:33.4	dream. How did you get into doing that? That's a good question. Well, 18 years ago, I was looking
1:41.2	for information about sex, and I was like, I'm a sexual being. I'm having sex. I've got questions. And I would Google sex. I would try to find information. When you Google sex, we all know what happens, right? Like, I'm not looking for porn right now. Thank you very much. So I, I, and there was Dr. Ruth. Like that was it. And I was like, okay, well, how is this possible? There was a few books. But I just started asking people about their sex life and their relationship. And I found a few experts. And I thought, okay, I am not alone first off because the problem with me was that, or I thought it was a problem, was that I always knew that my partner, I was with men, having more pleasure than I was.
