Ian Kerner | Is Predictable Sex Killing Your Marriage?

53 min • 1 juli 2021

She called me a sex god.  I laughed, but knew I may have earned it!  

Gents... this show is going to get seriously personal.  We’re talking oral sex, bedroom routines, easing anxiety, ethical porn and more. 

A few years ago, my friend Lance Salazar, author of The Miracle Morning for Couples, gave me a copy of Dr. Ian Kerner’s book, She Comes First

Long story short: six months later, my wife was telling all our friends that I’d become some sort of sex god (not kidding).  

It wasn’t until I was in my early 40s that I started to learn how to really light up my wife.  

We cover a lot of ground on the show, including a look into the work behind his new book, So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex: Laying Bare and Learning to Repair Our Love Lives.

Some of the topics I discuss with Dr. Ian Kerner: 

  • What does variety look like in a healthy sexual relationship?
  • The $2.00 purchase that saved my sex life
  • The one thing that needed to happen, for my wife to beg for sex.
  • Are your routines (sex scripts) killing your love life?
  • What are your core erotic themes?
  • How do you create variety in a sexual relationship? Is there ethical porn and has porn become problematic?
  • Do men need to manage masturbation?
  • If you’re kids bust you having sex, is that traumatic?
  • Why our cultural norms surrounding sex leave people dysfunctional, depressed, and without sexual self-esteem.
  • Why dominant cultural narratives fail to honor female sexuality.
  • Why guys should be talking about sex more often.
  • Why do sex scripts fall into predictable patterns or just get boring?
  • The common threads of sex scripts that work.
  • Why anxiety is the enemy of arousal
  • When should we talk to our kids about sex and pornography?
  • Is there more trauma for a child in seeing their parents have sex, or feeling that their parents lived in a sexless marriage?
