Season 6, Episode 792: Why Sober Sex is WAY Better: A Chat with Dr. Frank Spinelli. Avoiding alcohol before sex makes a BIG difference, for you and your partner. Being sober for sex can help you be more present in your body, and help you enjoy it more. That's important! Sure it might be awkward at first, but push through that. Why? Because alcohol gives an anesthesia effect, which can alter or lessen your pleasure. Alcohol can also give you fake confidence, and alter your decision making. We also discussed shame and how to shed it in regards to sex, being gay, and even in talking about sex. Be authentic then you can show up in the bedroom (or wherever you may be!) as your authentic self. Your sex life, and your relationship with your partner, will thank you! Sober sex is better sex, and your body will prove it to you! Give it a try!Guest Bio: Frank Spinelli, MD is a physician, certified health coach, and one of 95,000 survivors who filed claims in the Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy case.
