Vulnerability is a word we use often but what does it mean for relationships and why does it matter? Relationships are all about feeling safe enough to take emotional risks knowing that this person has the ability to hurt you, but relying on your own ability to trust yourself to show up. This happens best with an emotionally responsive partner. When you respond to your partner's emotional vulnerability with emotional security that creates connection. That's Intimacy. That's Sexy. #mondaynightraw A post shared by Shamyra (@sexologistshamyra) on Sep 9, 2019 at 7:32pm PDT View this post on Instagram Stop faking orgasms! #mondaynightraw Faking orgasms contribute to the orgasm gap that we are working to end.
