Dr Karen Gurney Live on Instagram — Conditions for Good Sex
Dr Karen Gurney (aka the sex doctor) hosted a fab live session on Instagram all about understanding your conditions for good sex. The three main pillars that are important here:
- Physical Touch
- Pyschological Arousal
- Being in the moment
As you can guess, all 3 things are crucial, as is the interplay between them. It was super informative and lots of useful exercises to take away and do either by yourself or with your partner(s). See a bunch of her great online resources about it here.
Dipsea — free web content
Dipsea (audio erotica app) are offering some free audio content til the end of April, specifically their Guided and “How-to” stories. This little snippet from their blog explains their reasoning and it really resonated:
“In times of crisis, pleasure is often overlooked. But we can’t let ourselves forget to feel alive in the midst of struggle. At its core, pleasure is an opportunity to check in with yourself, a way to self-soothe, and a reminder that you are worthy of joy.”
They’ve got a diverse range of erotic stories & guided sessions and all on a beautifully designed app. Read more about their free content here.
