EPISODE 12: TRANSITION TO MARRIAGE

EPISODE 12: TRANSITION TO MARRIAGE

Author: Chelom Leavitt December 23, 2020 Duration: 34:03

We welcomed guest speaker Dr. Jeremy Boden to talk about how couples can successfully transition to sexual intimacy in marriage after remaining abstinent. Dr. Boden shares practical solutions to problems you may face including premature ejaculation and performance anxiety. Listen in to hear how to use tools such as "compassionate curiosity" and sex education to make the first time, and every time, a positive experience. 


What does it mean to bring mindful awareness into our most intimate lives? The Sexual Mindfulness Project, hosted by researcher and educator Chelom Leavitt, moves beyond quick-fix advice to explore the nuanced intersection of sexuality and mindfulness through grounded, evidence-based conversations. Each episode features dialogues with fellow researchers and experts, translating academic findings into practical wisdom for everyday application. You’ll hear discussions that tackle the real questions people have about fostering deeper connection, navigating sexual growth, and approaching topics like intimacy and sexuality with greater presence and clarity. This podcast provides a thoughtful space for anyone looking to enrich their romantic and sexual relationships, consider how to guide their children with confidence, or simply understand their own desires more fully. It’s not about performance, but about cultivating a healthier, more intentional approach to a fundamental part of being human. Tune in for a series that treats sexuality with the complexity and care it deserves, offering perspectives that are both scientifically informed and deeply human.
