Episode Overview
Welcome to the Sexology Podcast! Today I am accompanied by my guest Liz Dube. We discuss painful sexual intercourse, causes behind painful sexual experiences and the connection between sex and power as it relates to sexual harassment.
Liz helps various clients navigate and move past toxic, negative messages related to sex and sexuality. She helps individuals say no to mediocre sex and instead become empowered and ready to have fun in the bedroom. Her goal is to help people achieve their full sexual potential. Sometimes men and women may have unrealistic expectations about sex. These expectations can make one or more partners feel inadequate and even possibly create a performance focus related to sex that creates boredom, frustrated, and ultimately dissatisfaction.
Painful sex isn’t always an easy topic to discuss but a very important topic nonetheless. This episode contains insightful knowledge about painful sexual experiences, how to improve painful intercourse and what to do if you might be experiencing some of the topics discussed.
