Emily Morse is not only a dear friend and a stellar human, but she’s also a doctor of human sexuality, revolutionizing discussions surrounding sex and the pursuit of pleasure. She is already a best-selling author, though her just released book, Smart Sex: How to Boost Your Sex IQ and Own Your Pleasure, is the navigational guide we all need in our lives. She also leads a MasterClass on Sex and Communication and hosts the top-rated and chart-topping podcast, Sex With Emily. Through candid conversations, she challenges the inaccurate cultural programming surrounding sex and promotes the value of open conversation to foster connection. Today, we talk about how women often find themselves disconnected from sex and their bodies, often due to social conditioning and traumatic events that occur during our sexual development. Emily helps us consider ways to reconnect with ourselves in order to feel more embodied, more aligned, and more pleasure.

TRANSCRIPT:
(Edited slightly for clarity.)
ELISE: Well, congrats on your book, and I know in some ways it's just a bow on your incredibly long and varied career teaching us all about sex. But as I know from my many conversations with you, you're really interested more in pleasure and desire. And that's where there's a great Venn diagram between our work, even though I am, it's funny, it's like I even wanna call myself prudish, traumatized, I'm all of these things. But in talking to you, your push to reembody and actually get in touch with our wanting is very much aligned for me with the last few years of my life. And also the way that you connect it in many ways to an essential part of our wellness.
