Most of us follow a sex script.

In Sex Therapy, we talk a lot about the “sex script.” So, what does it look like, and how do I let it go?

The Sex Script:

  • Give a sexy look or signal

  • Kiss (long enough but not too long)

  • Touch each other

  • Clothes come off

  • Penetration

  • One (or both of us) finish...

The end.

We approach sex with a script of how we should behave, what to like, how to sound…

“Performing” the scripted sex that we all know can feel safer, but is it authentic to how we feel in the moment?
Imagine doing the exact same dance routine every time you go out... Doesn't sound too tempting, does it?

So what would it look like if we were to approach sex the same way that we approach something that brings us playfulness? Somewhere we refill free, free to explore, to be present, and to connect to whatever it is around us without having to overthink?

This means that the medicine to the sex script is presence and curiosity. We drop out of our head and into our body, focusing on how something feels rather than what we think about it.

Seems challenging?
