What can you do to make sure that even if it's for an hour, you focus on your own pleasure?

Look into his eyes. They're the eyes of a man obsessed by sex. Eyes that mock our sacred institutions.

Betrub eyes, they call them in a fight on days.

You'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.

Alright, Valentine's Day, right around the corner. Listen, whether you're living your best single life or maybe you have a special someone,

I just want to set you up to have a sexy, love-filled day.

Even if you don't want to cash this in a Valentine's Day, I know that in this episode you're going to get super inspired to take some of these suggestions and use them throughout the year.

I'm sharing some of my hot tips for creating an ideal date night, regardless of who it's with, could be with yourself, a lover, a partner.

I cover everything from toy recommendations to thoughtful personal gifts you can give yourself or a loved one.

I also answer questions about how to prep for anal sex, how to get back into dating in your 40s, and why your wetness doesn't always equal arousal.

Alright, intentions with Emily for each episode, join me in setting an intention for the show, I do it, you could do it, it helps you just kind of really get the lessons, whatever it is that you need to learn from this show.

So, it could be, oh I want to get some ideas for what to do when I'm alone on Valentine's Day, my intention is to help you create love-filled romantic moments, whether it's on Valentine's Day or just Tuesday night.

Alright, enjoy the show.

Alright, it's February, I always know because I go into the drugstore and then you see the hearts and the candies and all the things and you think, okay, it's Valentine's Day.

And this is the month that we're celebrating love or maybe it's the month where you're like, God damn it, it can't Valentine's Day cannot pass quick enough.

It's just a hallmark holiday and listen, I'm with you, I was reflecting that this is my 16th Valentine's Day show going into the 16th year of Sex with Emily.

So, I've covered Valentine's Day and talked about it a lot, but I'm going to tell you this, no matter what you choose to do with Valentine's Day, if you choose to participate in Valentine's Day or today that you are like not that into or maybe you're not in a relationship,

I believe that is the one day of the year that's asking you to focus on well first love and it could just be the love to yourself, self pleasure, self love, self care, what can you do for yourself, but also a day of sex.

Just like in Halloween, you know, it's that one day you can dress up and wear something that you maybe wouldn't wear any other time of year. I feel like Valentine's Day is like, okay, you want to try something new in the bedroom, you want to try that new toy you got for yourself, by all means, go ahead on February 14th.

So, if you're going to be by yourself, which is totally cool, I'm right with you there, what can you do to make sure that even if it's for an hour, you focus on your own pleasure.

Just remember that we really need to have compassion for ourselves and make sure that you make a plan to do something, whatever makes you feel good, maybe you have a gift certificate to a massage and you haven't used it yet, you know, go go get a massage.

Spend time with your friends and buy your friends over to watch a movie or something that you make make you laugh, get your favorite foods, splurge on something that you've been sort of holding back on because listen, we all work hard.
