We're really here to be in these bodies and to have these experiences and to have deep

pleasure.

There is something incredibly sacred about pleasure.

Women do not need to have an orgasm to have procreative, sex and get pregnant and have

a baby, right?

Then why do we have this capacity to really go deep into ourselves?

We're listening to Sex with Emily.

I'm Dr. Emily and I'm here to help you prioritize your pleasure and liberate the conversation

around sex.

Author Elise Loonon has thought a lot about women and desire.

In her new book, On Our Best Behavior, The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Paid to

Be Good, she breaks down the cultural forces that teach women to be desirable rather than

desiring and the shame attached to women wanting something.

Whether it's sex, success or damn slice of pizza, whether it's lust and the way we encourage

women to police each other sexuality or sloth and the way women are encouraged to be their

husband's caregivers.

These invisible expectations serve none of us.

Instead Elise talks about ways we can liberate ourselves and ways it improve our sex lives

and beyond, how to balance, masculine and feminine energies and relationships, how

to shed sexual shame and so much more.

As Elise says, our bodies are portals and lust is the invitation to enter.

Intentions with Emily for each episode join me in setting an intention for the show.
