How to Better Understand Your Sexual Values (And Your Partner’s) - a podcast by Dr. Jessica OReilly

Happy holidays! In this episode, Jess and Brandon use the Sexual Values Questionnaire to explore their own sexual values. Brandon shares his experiences learning about sex and gender through sport, family and (Catholic) school and Jess shares her memories of what she learned about sex growing up. They don’t complete the full exercise, so it will be continued in next week’s episode.

Feel free to try the Sexual Values Questionnaire on your own or with your partner(s) using the following questions as discussion prompts:1. What messages did you receive about sex growing up?
2. What messages do you wish to retain and which ones do you want to reframe/discard?3. What does sex mean to you?
4. How important is sex to you?5. What emotional components of sex do you value?
6. What physical&practical components of sex do you value?
7. What spiritual components of sex do you value?8. How often do you want to have sex?
9. How do you want to feel before, during&after sex?
10. How do you anticipate sex changing over time?11. What are the sexual challenges you currently face and how can you address them?

You're listening to the sacs with Dr Jess podcast sacks and relationship advice you can use tonight Welcome to the sex with Dr. Just podcast I am. Your Co host Brandon. Wear here with my lovely and under the weather partner. Dr Jess got a little bit of a raspy voice. I've lost my voice. Start Your sexy voice going on. Yeah I got a little cold but I think I also wore myself out singing karaoke. It was pretty epic Holiday Party that we had last week for our staff is included four and a half hours of Karaoke at our house screaming and I'm sure the neighbors offers were not pleased. Then he was fine but brandon was upset because he had to actually share the Karaoke mic with eighteen. Other people and just to touch on that quickly I wasn't isn't terribly pleased with the song selection. No I'm just kidding. Actually it was a lot of fun we did. We sang a number of ridiculous songs. Yeah Brennan in insane. Throw some D's on. That did yes. I didn't need the lyrics for that one.

Remember that thing. I've been fighting off. It is for you and this tends to happen for us quite frequently where it's on our downtown that we end up getting sick and I think like you said it's because you go so hard so oh any suggestions on what we should do next year to fix this nocco so hard so hard.
