Now, in my book and in general, I do also have a lot of advice for people who are single and navigating sex in new relationships or casual sex or friends with benefits, right?

I'm different than a lot of other educators and, you know,

people talking about this subject who are out there who are suggesting that the only type of satisfying sex is that which can happen in the context of a long-term relationship.

That's not true, right?

We're especially taught, you know, back to this shame that is often cast upon women.

That shows up doubly true in the context of casual sex and women who are single and trying to carve out sexual experiences that work for them.

But yes, in the context of building on your sex life with your partner, when you use that launching point of the best sex you've ever had, I'm talking about that with your partner, of course.

Yes, absolutely.

Talk to our audience about that.

Exactly.

Isn't that fantastic?

Yeah.

And it's interesting because the direction of causality, forgive me for the nerdy speak, goes both ways, right?

Which means that sex, particularly orgasm, leads to higher quality sleep, right?

But also, being well rested leads to better quality sex and orgasms.

So it's definitely something with there is so much research coming out just showing how critical sleep is to our mental health.

We all know if you're walking around and you're exhausted, that that's just not going to be good for you in your life in general.

That's not what leads to thriving.

Sex, orgasm, those are very effective paths towards that kind of deep level sleep that we need to feel refreshed every day.

And it's a virtuous cycle because if you feel more well-rested, you're going to be more likely to want to have sex.
