Sex With Emily

You want to talk to your partner about sex. You really do. But every time you try, your throat closes, your chest tightens, and suddenly it feels easier to just… not. You're not bad at communication — your brain is literally wired to treat these conversations like threats. In this live show, I break down exactly why sex talks trigger fight-or-flight, how shame keeps us mute in the bedroom, and what to do when you've been together for years and never actually talked about what you want.



This episode was recorded LIVE across my social platforms at @sexwithemily — part of a new evolution of the show as we head into my 21st year of the podcast. After over two decades of talking about sex, I've learned that real, unscripted conversations create the deepest breakthroughs.



You'll hear real questions, real interaction, and the energy of being LIVE together as we explore how to build a sex life that actually feels good, without shame or judgment. Tune in most Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 PM PST on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch all @sexwithemily.

In this episode, you'll learn: 

• Why your brain treats sex conversations like danger (and how to override it)

• How to find your sexual voice and stop cringing when you try to speak up

• A husband's honest question about rekindling intimacy after kids

You're in love. You're committed. So why does sex feel like it dropped off the priority list somewhere between laundry and meal prep? You're not broken — you're just busy, stressed, and maybe a little stuck in your head. In this live show, Dr. Emily answers your unfiltered questions about what happens when desire fades, how to talk to a partner who clams up about what they want, and why the "how often should we be having sex?" question is missing the point entirely.

Let's be honest — for all the progress we've made, most of us still don't know how to talk about sex. We can talk about work, money, kids, literally everything else. But ask your partner what actually turns them on? Cue panic.



In this live show, Dr. Emily opens up the gates for your questions and wow, you did not hold back. She tackles why sex stops feeling fun and starts feeling like a chore, what's really going on when desire disappears, and how to flip the script from obligation back to connection.

• What somatic sexology actually is and how it differs from talk therapy



• Why your body stores emotions and trauma in your fascia and genitals



• The simple exercise that can help you release blocks you didn't know you had



• Why you can't figure out what you want sexually until your body feels safe



• How to do a "vulva hug" and why your genitals might be craving your attention



• The real reason pleasure fades after the honeymoon phase

EPISODE SUMMARY



Mark Groves is a human connection specialist who transformed his own painful relationship patterns into wisdom he now shares with millions. In this episode, Mark opens up about the Thanksgiving dinner betrayal that shut him down at 19, the years he spent as an emotionally unavailable guy, and the breakthrough that finally let him receive love. In this episode we dig into codependency, why chemistry fades, and what it actually takes to build a relationship where you can be fully yourself.



In this episode, you'll learn:



• Why a failed one-night stand taught Mark more about himself than years of relationships



• The real definition of codependency and why it's not just about addiction



• How to identify your "Thanksgiving dinner moment" that shaped how you love



• Why the space between partners disappears and chemistry dies in long-term relationships



• The question that reveals if you're being codependent in the bedroom



• What "liberated love" looks like and why truth-telling is the foundation



• How Mark and his wife broke up, had a closing ceremony, and came back stronger



• Why your capacity to love equals your capacity to lose



• The three things you can do now to get on the path toward the love you want



• How parenthood changes intimacy and why the six-week clearance is misleading



• What to do when you can't stop fantasizing about past flings while in a relationship
