159. The Joy of Slowing Down: Exploring the Power of Gentle Touch

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, discusses the importance of the brain in sexual pleasure and intimacy. She emphasizes it's the most important organ for sexual pleasure, as it determines how we think about sex and where we focus our attention during sexual experiences. Alexandra provides practical tips to bring the mind back into the present moment during sex, such as focusing on the breath and putting attention on your body. 

Also in this episode:

• Slow down and connect with your partner to enhance intimacy and sync up during sexual experiences.
• Communicate your desires and make requests respectfully and simply.
• For optimal pleasure and connection, shift from the vigilant state of the sympathetic nervous system to the relaxation of the parasympathetic nervous system.
