Description
What is it that people want when they want sex?
Just as important, what is it that they don't want when they don't want sex?
The answers to these two questions can transform an individual's or couple’s understanding of where sex fits in their lives and what meaning pleasure has in their relationship. This can be a challenging issue for some couples you see who have been in a long-term relationship when sex becomes “stale” or a “chore”.
In this engaging keynote with Emily Nagoski, PhD, sex expert and best-selling author of Come As You Are, she will clarify the differences among responsive desire, spontaneous desire, and the term she has coined “magnificent desire”. Based on her expertise and clinical experience, she will share tools for you to help clients find Optimal Sexual Experiences (OSE). Emily will break down the new science, new language and new perspective of sex in long- term relationships.
