Can awkward sex be improved?

from The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos · host Shaun Galanos

What if the sex is awkward, but the connection is actually really good?This week, I’m answering a listener question about dating someone new after years of being mostly single - someone kind, compatible, emotionally available… and a little nervous in bed. Fun! Humbling! Slightly confusing!I get into whether sexual compatibility has to be there from the start, how to tell the difference between someone who’s shut down and someone who’s simply inexperienced, and why nervousness doesn’t have to mean immaturity or incompatibility. Sometimes it just means: new person, new body, new dynamic, new reps. I also talk about kissing, giving feedback without making someone feel like a project, and why asking for what you want in bed is not as obvious as people pretend it is.And yes, I start with a personal update. I’m in a very real in-between place right now -  with love, work, grief, anxiety, medication, and the annoying little fact that I don’t currently have clear answers.Maybe you don’t either.Mentioned in this episode: Clarity & Connection by Yung PuebloConnect with Shaun:Retreats and latest offerings: https://bit.ly/m/thelovedriveRead my blog: https://shaungalanos.substack.comThe Love Drive Podcast: https://shaungalanos.com/podcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelovedrive/More About Shaun: https://shaungalanos.com/about/Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/thelovedrive
