Question & Answers With Sexologist Dr. Tara:
What inspired you to become a sexologist & passionate about sexual health?
When I was young, I did not get any sex education from school (I went to an all-girls Catholic school so that probably makes sense) or any chats from my parents – so a lot of times I felt lost and anxious when it comes to my sexuality and sexual exploration. I ended up learning through porn, life experiences…making a lot of mistakes, and had to learn the hard way. It took a long time for me to cultivate my sexual empowerment. So now that I am a sexually liberated woman who knows how to communicate and express myself – and a certified sexologist – I just want to help people not feel the way that I did. I want to change the world to become more sex positive through education. Less shame, more pleasure!
What do you think are some of the biggest challenges people face today when it comes to exploring their sexuality?
The first one that came to my mind is shame. Shame is a very powerful feeling, and it can prevent people from developing confidence, or seeing their own ability to liberate themselves. There’s no sexual agency without first working through and getting rid of shame. People experience shame regarding so many things related to sexuality. Shame about their sexual orientation. Shame about their nontraditional sexual desires. Shame about wanting a different type of relationship that’s not monogamy. Shame about their kinks and fetishes. Shame about their penis sizes or the way their vulvas look. Shame if they don’t know how to get into certain sex positions or do some tricks. There’s just a lot people feel shameful about, you get the idea. It’s so pervasive.
Another problem is sexless relationships and marriage, and we can see in multiple published statistics it is quite a prevalent phenomenon. People often ask me how long it would take to consider their relationship as a sexless relationship. I say it is a subjective evaluation; for some people it could be one month, and for others it could be three months, while for some it could be two years. Research has defined it as lack of sexual activity of any kind in a committed and exclusive relationship for at least six months.
Do you have any tips, tricks or advice for people to have fulfilling sex lives?
So many! First, you have to know who you are as a sexual being, so understanding your own sexual psychology and self concept is very important. My book “How Do You Like It?: A Guide for Getting What You Want (in Bed)” is available for preorder and it consists of explanations and quizzes for your sexual profiles so that you can have a better sex knowledge.
Second, sexual mindfulness is an extremely important aspect of enjoying good sex. I highly recommend everybody trying sexual meditation practice. Sexual meditation is like regular meditation, but it focuses on sexual thoughts, feelings and sensations. You can do it quietly while focusing on those aspects or you can use guided meditation. I have some available for free on YouTube.
Third, sexual communication is the most important aspect of being successful in a romantic relationship when it comes to having a fulfilling sex life. Try having a regular sexy check-in where you ask your partner how they’re feeling about your sex life together. Is there something you can do to make it even better? Check in with each other regularly. Sex isn’t something that you should just talk about one time.
What comments (the good and the bad) do you hear from people about condoms? What advice do you give to people who are condom-averse?
I think these days, people are more open to talking about condoms and see them as an essential part of responsible, pleasure-focused sex. Many people I know appreciate the variety in sizes, textures, and styles, making it feel more personalized and less “clinical.” At the same time; some people still struggle with the perception that condoms reduce sensation or interrupt the moment. If you don’t like condoms, I always say you haven’t worn the right one. Don’t give up on it, upgrade it. Wear something that fits comfortably and perfectly, like MyONE Custom Fit condoms. It will feel great and will make you feel more confident too.
How did you come up with the name Luvbites?
Twofolds. I love biting during sex and in general! It’s also “luv advice in bite size.”
Who are Dr. Tara’s most interesting Luvbites Podcast guests and why?
I honestly love all my guests because each person has brought a very unique perspective and knowledge to the episode that people around the world can learn from and I honor that so much.
