Summary

What if the key to better sex wasn't about technique — it was about learning to feel your own body again? Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, joined me live at Eudaimonia to break down how 13 years of somatic movement quietly rewired her relationship with pleasure, sound, and receiving — and why the two aren't as different as you'd think. From faking orgasms in her 20s to purring her way through her "delicious" 40s, Taryn gets raw about her two-year stretch of only receiving oral sex, falling deeply in love after divorce, and what it really means to let someone in — body and soul. Don't forget to watch the full video podcast on YouTube! In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the sounds you make in a workout and the sounds you make in bed come from the exact same place — and how unlocking one unlocks the other • How Taryn's two-year "oral sex only" era taught her more about receiving, boundaries, and her own body than any relationship ever did • The one breathwork tool that works both in The Class and during sex to get out of your head and back into your body — instantly And if you want to dive deeper into Taryn’s work after listening, we’ve got a little gift for you.

0:00.0	I think it's always a work in progress.
0:05.8	And that's why I feel so grateful about the relationship I just had, even though it's
0:09.3	heartbreaking, because it was love.
0:11.3	And when there's love there and you have any sort of heartbreak or grief, it's just love
0:14.8	that was.
0:15.8	But there was still love.
0:18.4	Thanks for listening to Sex with Emily.
0:20.2	I'm Dr. Emily. And I'm here to help you prioritize
0:22.7	your pleasure and liberate the conversation around sex. This episode is recorded from a live
0:28.8	podcast. I did at Eudemonia, which is a longevity conference that was held in Palm Beach, Florida.
0:34.5	My guest is Tarant Toomey, founder of the class, a global movement that uses
0:38.5	breath, sound, and movement to help people release stress, shame, and old patterns stored in our

1:00.0	performing instead of feeling, how sound, breath, and movement unlock deeper intimacy. Yes,
