Dr. Emily Nagoski on Sex, Long Term Relationships, and Depression

Update: 2025-01-27

Description

Sex is not always an easy topic to discuss. Issues like how to get what you want, how to make sure your partner is getting what they want, these are delicate conversations and often intimidating ones as well. Add in issues like depression and anxiety for one or more of the people involved and it becomes more complex still. Fortunately, we have Dr. Emily Nagoski with us who is an expert on sex and how to talk about it. She’s the author of the new book, Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections and she’s here to offer some practical, workable advice.
