I am on this mission because pleasure is important, especially sexual pleasure.

We are at a place in our lives where we feel a sense of disconnection, a sense of overwhelm, and I'm here to tell everyone that sex is something that can be your pathway back.

that if you are able to prioritize pleasure, that there is so much research showing that it can lead to better life satisfaction, more resiliency in the face of setbacks, more creative thinking to help you solve those inevitable life challenges that are thrown your way.

Pleasure is critical, and sex is one of those major pathways back to reclaiming pleasure in your own life.

Yes, healthier aging, sex protects against cognitive decline, it improves immunity, it leads to better cardiovascular outcomes.

There's even a very famous study showing, particularly among men, that orgasms are correlated with longevity.

We would expect this finding to be true of women too.

We still need to do, unfortunately, we haven't done that research yet.

But yeah, it really predicts just about every important health outcome that we care about.

And yet it's something that we never talk about in our culture.

We're so used to thinking of sex as something that's extra or a treat, right?

That we get lucky.

But I'm here to tell you that sexual pleasure needs to be part of your repertoire when you're thinking about your overall health.

And that's not even getting into the psychological benefits, right?

It increases our sense of well-being, it increases our relationship satisfaction, right?

Sexual satisfaction, there is just decades of research showing that it is a very strong predictor of relationship satisfaction.

And yet, just like you said, Drew, we tend to think of it as something that needs to be siphoned off into another part of our lives, or where it just shouldn't be prioritized and it's just gonna kind of fall from the sky when the time is right.

Yes.

So sexual satisfaction is a huge predictor of relationship satisfaction.

And to me, what's really interesting with this data is that it's not the case that relationship satisfaction just seems to naturally lead to more sex, right?
