I believe that inside every human being is a need to feel closer and connected with both ourselves and the ones we love. But often there are physical, emotional, and cultural obstacles that get in the way of these meaningful connections. Today, Dr. Sadaf is going to help us explore the beautiful topic of intimacy and how we can meet ourselves and our partners in that space of fulfilling heart-to-heart connection. This week, episode 19 of Pleasure in the Pause is about prioritizing pleasure and cultivating intimate connections!
In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, Dr. Sadaf shares the importance of addressing psychological and emotional factors in the context of our sexuality and actionable steps you can take right now to reconnect with your partner without the pressure of sex.
