Relationship Skills: Playing Nicely With Others was Sheri Winston’s focus. Sheri (www.IntimateArtsCenter.com) is a teacher, author, and medical professional with some thirty years of experience. Dr. Diana and Sheri spoke about the balance between self-awareness (“I”), partner-awareness (“You”) and partner-awareness (“Us”). Self-awareness requires a good relationship with the self; sometimes the key to better sex might be repairing that relationship. The “You” part may be improved by syncing up with your partner – plugging into a partner’s breath, pelvic thrusts, and vocalizations. As for the “Us” part, being fully transparent – sharing everything, especially those parts you don’t want to share. Can you let your lover love you completely, your darkness as well as your light? There are many teachers, including the Gottmans and Harville Hendrix (Imago). Eliminating negative patterns by resolving to go 30 days without negativity, and by replacing judgment with curiosity can be great “fixes.” Sheri’s books are Succulent Sex Craft and Women’s Anatomy of Arousal: Secret Maps to Buried Pleasure (both available online). Please listen for a lively, informative show!
