The Trouble with Sex
Biggest Trouble With Sex: Genital vs Sexual Prime
Maci argues we confuse genital prime with lifelong sexual prime and urges ditching scripts to expand erotic imagination.
Dr. Tammy talks with experiential and sex therapist Maci Daye about how to use mindfulness and the methods of Hakomi Therapy to break away from past experiences and patterns to help avoid reenacting them in our current relationships and sex lives.
