Let's talk about sex! NYC-based Sex Therapist Juliane Maxwald works with people struggling with sex addiction. In this episode, she shares her insights on how to overcome this type of addiction and heal your life. But what is sex addiction? How do you know if you or your partner are addicted to sex? What are the signs? Juliane answers all of these questions and more. She dives deeper into the healing process and what it means to live a healthy sex life. We leave all taboos aside and talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of intimacy and relationships. You'll be surprised to learn that there is no such thing as "normal" in sex. But most importantly, we focus on the importance of living a healthy sexuality, where you have the freedom to love and be yourself, no matter your identity. We all deserve to know, own, and talk about our sexual health and preferences—it's very empowering when we do it through the right channels! Sex is often not presented positively or talked about enough, that's why open and honest conversations about it are important. Learn how to decide what's right for you by staying educated.
