Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. So a little while ago, I saw this video and in it, there was this licensed sex therapist and she was talking to her husband and she shared this thing that has had the single biggest impact on my sex life with my husband, Chris. So you want to know what I did? I tracked her down and I invited her on the podcast and she hopped on a plane. She is here in our Boston studios today. And I'm just going to say right up front, If you're single or if you're in a new relationship, this is a must listen. Because one of the things that you're about to learn is that your entire history, I'm talking every person you've ever been with, and especially your history when you're single, It sets you up for your sex life forever. And so she's here to address everything that you and I are not talking about and that you've never learned.
Today on the Mel Robbins podcast, you and I are gonna spend some time together in the bedroom. If you got little kids, please put on headphones or just listen to a different episode of the podcast while you're taking them to school. But once you drop them off, come right on back to this one. Can you tell I'm excited for both of us? I am so excited because if you can't talk about sex, If you can't ask for what you want, if you don't know how to bring it up, if you're going through a dry spell, or if you're like me and my husband and you want to have more sex, but you're just so tired, holy cow, our conversation is going to be surprising, pleasure-inducing, filled with practical advice, which is going to flip most of the things that you and I know about desire, pleasure, sex drive, and orgasm.
right on its head. No pun intended. Just imagine a world where you're having more sex. You feel more connected and safe. You're also having more fun in the bedroom. Well, that's exactly what you're going to learn how to create in your life today. Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I am so excited that you're here. I cannot wait for our conversation today, and it's always such an honor to spend time and to be together with you. And if you're a new listener, I just want to take a moment and welcome you to the Mel Robbins Podcast family. I'm so glad you're here. And because you made the time to hit play and listen to this particular episode, here's what I know. I first of all know you value your time because you made time and found time to listen to this. And let me tell you something. This episode is going to deliver the goods because today we're talking about sex. And your pleasure, connection, intimacy, fun, it matters. You deserve to have this part of your life feel satisfying and fun, whether you're single or whether you're in a relationship.
And did you know... that sex is one of the top three reasons why people get divorced or break up, but that's not going to happen to you because improving your sex life, totally solvable problem. So if you're not having sex right now, or if you're not having enough, or if it's not pleasurable, or if you'd like to mix things up, but you just don't have a clue how to talk about it or bring it up, First of all, you're not the only one. And what I love about her expert today is that she's even going to tell you this was hard for her to talk about in her life. And she's been in clinical practice as a licensed sex therapist for over 20 years, and she's been married for 17. See, here's the thing. None of us have been taught about sex.
And more importantly, everything that you and I have seen in the movies or what we think it's supposed to be, wrong. That's why you and I hint. It's why we fake. It's why we're tolerating less than we deserve. And the solution, this is the good news, it's right in front of your face. And wouldn't it be so awesome if it weren't such a chore or embarrassing to talk about? I mean, personally, I've been married for 28 years and even I'm embarrassed to talk about it with my husband, Chris. Just imagine a world where you could be having more of it and enjoy it more. Well, that's my mission and what's available to you today. So if you're single, just pat yourself on the back because you're about to learn something I wish I knew 35 years ago.
