What if better sex has nothing to do with lasting longer, stacking positions, or chasing the perfect orgasm—and everything to do with presence? We sit down with tantric coach Emma Galland for a candid, eye‑opening conversation about turning intimacy into a grounded practice that starts with the self. Emma shares how slowing down, breathing, and setting a clear intention can transform connection, whether you’re solo or partnered, new lovers or long‑time. This is sex as meditation, not performance.
We get specific. Emma breaks down why men often ask for sex as a way to feel loved and respected, and how partners can create a safe container where edgy truths are welcomed instead of shamed. She explains the “couple bubble,” an agreement to listen without judgment, and shows how consent becomes deeply erotic when you ask the body—not just the mind—for a yes. We unpack the pressure around orgasms, the time mismatch most couples face, and why each person is responsible for their own arousal. Non‑ejaculatory orgasms, presence over performance, and practical breathwork make the theory usable tonight.
The conversation expands into body image, naked yoga, and radical self‑acceptance. Emma highlights how dropping the performance mask—on the beach or in the bedroom—dissolves shame and unlocks more sensation. We also call out social media’s role in selling the image of sex while hiding the actual skills of intimacy. If you’re curious about tantra, consent, holding space, or simply want to feel more connected and confident, this episode offers a clear, human path forward with real‑world examples and tools you can try.
