Episode 500: How To Have Amazing Sex (Essential Listen)
May 12, 2026 by Justin Lehmiller
Most of us know the basics of sex, but having truly great sex is another story. Today, we’re revisiting one of my favorite conversations from the archives about increasing sexual pleasure, deepening intimacy, and making sex more satisfying for everyone involved.
My guest is Dr. Emily Jamea, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and author of the book Anatomy of Desire: 5 Secrets to Lasting Intimacy.
Some of the topics we explore include:
- How can changing up your masturbation routine enhance pleasure and partnered sex?
- What are some tips for better oral sex?
- How can you make intercourse and anal sex more pleasurable?
- What increases the odds of mutual orgasm?
- Why is it important to step outside your sexual comfort zone sometimes?
