Miscellaneous
On the Roadmap to the Real World Podcast I love digging into topics that we all face in our lives, but are never really taught to navigate. If I were to think of a topic that falls perfectly into that definition, it’s sex! Sex is something we all deal with in our relationships, a topic that has been highlighted in the media through the #MeToo movement, an awkward conversation we have to have with our kids, a major component of our personal health, and the cornerstone of our emotional and physiological needs as humans. So why don’t we talk about it more? Why are we too often taught to repress it rather than explore and express it in a healthy and responsible way? I’m here to break that mold, take the taboo topics, the uncomfortable topics, but the topics that deserve a moment in the spotlight, and dig deep into them without holding back. In this episode I am talking to sex therapist from Revive Therapy, Meryl Cohen. Meryl has a mile long resume including working as a sex educator and counseling couples and individuals for over 30 years. We hold nothing back as we unpack topics like porn, infidelity, orgasm, foreplay, love languages, overcoming sexual trauma, and managing an imbalance of sexual desires in a relationship. I ask questions submitted by our Roadmappers community and Meryl holds nothing back in her answers. I hope this episode teaches you something, de-mystifies sex education, makes you feel like you’re not alone, and maybe even sparks a conversation between you and your partner. If you enjoyed this episode, I would love if you shared it with your partner, your friends, maybe a parent you know with a child going through puberty who may need some guidance or resources on how to navigate that ever dreaded birds and bees conversation. You can find the full show notes as well as links to all the products Meryl mentioned on the podcast website.
