Loving your own body plays a crucial role in relationships and intimacy, especially when it comes to sex. When we struggle to embrace our bodies, it can create self-consciousness and insecurity in the bedroom. These feelings can hinder our ability to fully let go and enjoy intimate moments with our partners. However, when we cultivate self-love and acceptance, it empowers us to be more confident and comfortable in our own skin. This newfound confidence not only enhances our own pleasure but also fosters a deeper connection and trust with our partners, leading to more fulfilling and intimate experiences together.Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes a favorite returning guest, Emily Morse. Emily Morse is a well-known sex and relationship expert, host of the popular podcast "Sex with Emily," and author of the upcoming book "Smart Sex." With her expertise in psychology and human sexuality, she's all about helping people create stronger connections and more fulfilling experiences in their love lives. Emily's podcast is a trusted resource for honest advice, and now her book is set to provide even more wisdom and insights into the world of smart and satisfying sex.Together with Emily, Violetta talks about loving and being comfortable with your body, communicating your desires to your partner, oral sex, the use of lubes, the importance of foreplay, and how to stay present and focused during sex. WANT MORE EPISODES?
