5:00 Topic: How often do normal people have sex?
24:00 Our advice for good sex:
- Talk about what you want and what you need; know the difference.
- Be willing to hear “no” and/or negotiate a counter offer.
- Be open to your partner’s/partners’ wants, needs and fantasies. Don’t shut the door before educating yourself.
- Get educated. Treat sex like any other physical skill.
- Consider your sexual health a lifelong endeavor and never complete.
