Tech is revolutionizing s*x! From VR intimacy to smart s*x toys, s*x robots, and AI dating simulators we’re entering a new era of s*xual exploration. These innovations are reshaping how we connect and express our s*xuality, but they also raise important questions about privacy, ethics, and relationships.” 🤖💻👩‍💻

🌟 Remembering Dr. Ruth 🌟
Today, we honor the incredible life and legacy of Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a pioneering s*x therapist, author, and media personality. Born on June 4, 1928, in Frankfurt, Germany, Dr. Ruth overcame immense challenges to become a revolutionary figure in changing cultural attitudes about s*xual health and relationships.

Dr. Ruth was dedicated to addressing s*xual dysfunction, relationship issues, and promoting healthy s*xuality, breaking down barriers and debunking myths in the process. Her warm and approachable demeanor made her a sought-after expert on TV and in her numerous books.
Beyond her media presence, Dr. Ruth was a tireless advocate for s*xual health education. She normalized discussions about intimacy, paving the way for a more inclusive and informed society. Thank you, Dr. Ruth, for your invaluable contributions.

Does diet play a role in pleasure? Most definitely! A key part of having great s*x is that the body is able to send strong and rapid impulses to and from the ge****ls, blood is flowing abudantly into the ge****ls, and hormones are in balance. Eating certain foods can help increase the bodies ability to do such things, which can improve s*xual health and pleasure. 🥑🍌🍎🍓🍊🥝

We were super lucky to speak with the author of Diet for Great S*x: Food for Male and Female S*xual Health, Christine DeLozier, and get some of her recommendations on foods that can improve pleasure.

-Eating leafy greens like spinach, romaine, kale, and green leaf lettuce can help improve blood flow, nerve conduction and pleasure signaling. According to Christine, these foods can also help with hormone regulation.

-Eating foods rich in potassium such as bananas, apricots, squash, and oranges can help with blood flow and overall cardiovascular health (according to Christine around 97% of Americans lack potassium in their diets).

-Eating foods that are high in antioxidants such as saffron rice, avocados, blackberries, thyme, chocolate etc. may be beneficial for improving s*x and pleasure!

To learn more about foods for better s*x and the science behind it, check out Christine’s book (available at Walmart and on Audible) as well as her TikTok *x where she posts recipes for “getting in the mood”.

At RCSW we are devoted to providing our patients with information about a wide variety of resources for improving their s*xual lives. ✨

Acupuncture can be an amazing tool for both s*xual and whole-body health. Our affiliated provider, local acupuncturist, and owner of Needle and Herb Acupuncture, Christine DeLozier, helped us explore how acupuncture can be a powerful tool for both s*xual health and overall wellness!☯️🧘‍♀️💜

“What is the Process like / what to expect”

Christine explained that patients lie down on a comfortable table and needles will be placed in various areas (depending on the patient and their concerns) such as the abdomen, back, arms, legs, feet, and head. A very mild electrical current may be applied to the needles as well. Acupuncture is safe and comfortable, with most patients saying they feel calm and relaxed during and after the process.

“Is My p***s size normal?”

If you have a p***s, It’s likely that at some point in your life you have asked yourself this question. A core part of our s*xuality is how we feel about our bodies. Pen*ses come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, all of which should be celebrated.

At RCSW we host Embody, a body appreciation skills group (the link to the group and article are in our bio). The group is run with the expertise of our s*xuality educator, Jenna Weintraub, a trained facilitator for the curriculum.

“Are My L***a Normal?”

If you have L***a, it’s likely that at some point you have asked yourself this question. L***a come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures etc. all of which are totally normal and should all be celebrated. 🎉🎊💖We really love the illustrations by Betty Dodson that help showcase this variety in l***a (seen at the end of post). 🎨🖌🖼

At RCSW we understand that the way we feel about our bodies plays a key role in our s*xuality and expression. This is why at RCSW we host Embody, a body appreciation skills group (the link to the group and article are in our bio). The group is run with the expertise of our s*xuality educator, Jenna Weintraub, a trained facilitator for the curriculum. 🧘‍♀️🧘🧘‍♂️

“Always keep it positive, always keep it erotic”

The key to having a conversation with your partner about s*xual interests is to create a safe space where you can have open and honest communication with your partner. 💬💕 Setting boundaries, maintaining active consent, and being sensitive to your partner’s perspective throughout the entire process are also important.

Wanting to expand your s*xual repertoire and share another part of yourself with your partner should be a positive experience and cause for excitement and celebration! 🎉✨🎊

At RCSW we are a team that is confidential, open-minded, comprehensive and whole person centered. If you find that you are struggling with opening up a dialogue, we would be happy to help you and your partner in this process!

“Touch has a language all its own, one that transcends words and connects hearts.” -Resmaa Menakem 💖📖📚

At RCSW, we are dedicated to providing education on s*xual issues to both the medical and mental health communities, as well as to the public. Our s*x therapy intern, Grace Joyner, highly recommends checking out “My Grandmother’s Hands” by Resmaa Menakem.

This book offers powerful insights on trauma and how it can impact the body generationally. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in activist literature and understanding in*******al dynamics in the US. 🌍 Stay tuned for more book recommendations!

A note of caution: the subject matter can be intense, so Grace recommends practicing self-care as you read. 🌿💕
