Welcome to episode 477 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am excited to be joined by Laurie Gerber , who speaks to me about how to communicate about sex, sexual preferences, and talking about difficult topics like STIs with more confidence and clarity. In this episode, Laurie and I discuss why silence is one of the biggest obstacles to fulfilling sexual and romantic relationships.
