In this episode of The Sex Doctors, Dr. Brandon and Dr. Morgentaler get real about what makes someone a great lover—and it’s not about perfection, it’s about being present, giving, and actually feeling connected in your body and with your partner.
00:19 The Concept of a Great Lover
Dr. Brandon and Dr. Morgentaler kick things off by asking, “Would you want to make love to yourself?”—and unpack what it really means to be a great lover.
04:13 Challenges and Misunderstandings in Sexual Relationships
They dive into common issues couples face in bed, from mixed signals to unmet needs, and how much of it comes down to miscommunication.
12:36 Understanding the Male Perspective
Dr. Morgentaler opens up about how many men want to be great lovers but feel lost when nothing they try seems to work.
15:49 The Importance of Embodiment
The doctors talk about how being “in your body” (not just your head) is key to great sex—and how tech and stress are pulling people away from that.
21:21 Practical Tips for Better Intimacy
They share real, doable ways for both men and women to reconnect with their bodies and each other—including touch, movement, and slowing down.
