If you're looking to feel more comfortable and confident during sex, this episode is for you. I talk to Claire Perelman, a certified sex therapist and one of my favorite creators on social media, about navigating sex with a new partner, approaching sexual situations when you're newly out as queer, and creating safety while enjoying physical intimacy. We also talk about her coming out story, how to properly give feedback to a sexual partner, healing from sexual trauma, and so much more. At the end of this episode, we answer a listener's question about dating someone who's not a great texter.
