0:00.0	Hey, oh, oh, come on and take a seat on the virtual couch.
0:21.9	Hey, everybody.
0:22.7	Welcome to episode 371 of the virtual couch.
0:25.9	I'm your host, Tony Overbay.
0:27.4	I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist.
0:29.6	And today, I feel like we have to say, hey, close the door and let me pull the shades down and let me whisper into the microphone because we're talking about sex.
0:39.2	And that is such a funny thing because I've been a marriage therapist for 17 years, and I like to say that I've helped 13,400 couples or more.
0:47.7	And sex comes up in pretty much every couple's therapy situation.

1:16.5	sex therapy. That joke about the orthodox, the real heavy orthodox religious couple,
1:21.3	then we eventually then start talking about sex and it ends up just being amazing conversations
1:25.6	where it all falls back into into we don't know what we
1:27.6	don't know. We have certain things that we bring into our relationships, assumptions, and then it's
1:32.3	an awkward topic to talk about. So my four pillars of a connected conversation actually work really,
1:36.7	really well when you talk about sex. But we give it this code name of intimacy, because that sounds
1:42.0	a little more, a little safer? I don't know.
1:44.7	And that's what's funny is I talk about pornography more than I talk about sex or intimacy,
