How To Make This Your Best Sexual Year Ever | Pursuit Of Pleasure Podcast

Sex is often the glue that holds a couple together through thick and thin. But after years with the same partner, it can be tricky to light that spark again.

In this New Year episode of the Pursuit of Pleasure Podcast, I asked 5 sex’perts to share their best advice for making this your best sexual year yet. From communication and slowing down, to learning new things and putting her pleasure first, you will walk away with real, practical ideas you can use tonight.

Before we start, I challenge you to find at least one idea from these experts that you are willing to try so you and your partner can open up to more pleasure and fun this year.

I am Dr. Trina Read, Sexologist, and here we do a deep dive into what makes a woman in a long term relationship genuinely excited to have sex again.

2. Kevin Anthony – Sex, Love and Relationship Coach
Kevin’s advice: if you want the best sex of your life, treat sex the same way you treat any passion. Study it, practice it, watch videos, read books and work with a coach instead of fumbling around in the dark.

3. Amy Rowan – The Suburban Sexologist
Amy’s advice: slow down. Most couples rush through sex and then wonder why it feels “fine but not amazing.” When you take your time, savor touch, play with different kinds of pressure and build erotic energy, sex becomes transformational.

4. Dr. Trina Read – Sexologist & Host
My advice: make this the year you both ask what she wants, and support her in leaning into that pleasure. Receiving pleasure is a learned skill, not a given. Let her put her sexual needs first sometimes, and let her partner’s orgasm be their responsibility.

5. Dr. Laurie Mintz – Sex Therapist & Psychologist
Laurie’s advice: communicate about sex, always. Before, during and after. Clear, kind sexual communication is linked with better sex and better relationship satisfaction, year after year.

???? Trina’s New Year Pleasure Challenge
Here is a radical idea for this year: once in a while, she puts her needs first.
That might look like:
A long, no strings attached massage
A slow, sudsy shower where her partner gives her body some TLC
Finally trying that Tantric breathing exercise she has been curious about
Or anything else she truly wants
Most women have a loud internal voice that says “my partner would never want to do that.” Yet most partners desperately want to know what satisfies her and feel thrilled when she shares.
If you want this but do not know where to start, let an expert guide you.
