Episode 432: Who Are You As A Sexual Person?
September 16, 2025 by Justin Lehmiller
Who are you as a sexual person? In today’s show, we’re going to help you answer this question by introducing you to the concept of holistic sexuality, which is different from the way that most of us have been taught to think about sex. We’re going to dive into some of the key facets of holistic sexuality that are crucial to know for both self-understanding and for building up your sexual agency.
I’m joined by Dr. Juliana Hauser, a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor. In addition to running a successful virtual private practice, Dr. Juliana is a nationally known sex expert whose work has appeared all over in the media. Her latest book is A New Position on Sex: A Guide to Greater Sexual Confidence, Pleasure, and Authenticity.
Some of the specific topics we explore include:
- What are the benefits of looking at sex more holistically?
- Why is the idea of “sensuality” so crucial to our sexuality?
- How do we begin to awake our sensuality to learn more about our own sexual style?
- What is the importance of really understanding our own bodies when it comes to enhancing sexual wellbeing?
- What are some ways to get more comfortable with our own bodies?
You can visit Juliana’s website to learn more about her work.
