Based on the science presented in Emily's New York Times bestseller COME AS YOU ARE, this talk is about the “One Weird Trick” we can teach our students, clients, and patients (and ourselves), to maximize sexual wellbeing - even in a world that sometimes seems determined to persuade us that we are inadequate, dysfunctional, unlovely, and unloveable. Could there be a single, universal principle that can tranform the sex lives of people of all genital configurations, all gender identities, all sexual orientations, all relationship configurations, all body shapes and sizes, all colors, and maybe even all religions? Emily thinks there could be, and it’s this: Put pleasure at the center of your definition of sexual wellbeing. When pleasure is the starting point, everything else you need will follow. Using psycholophysiology, neuroscience, and more (even sociology!), Emily will show why and how this one simple (but not always easy) trick can transform every human’s sex life.
