Sex and the Psyche 

EP21: Dr. Hollie Neujahr - Understanding Pelvic Floor Issues and How to Treat Them

What if pleasure wasn't something you had to earn, save for, or reserve for special occasions, but something you could intentionally build into your everyday life?

In this episode of Sex and the Psyche, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz are joined spontaneously by producer Kim Kaplan for a conversation about the role of pleasure in our physical, emotional, and sexual well-being.

They explore the surprising connection between exercise, relaxation, stress, and sexual desire and why there may not be one universal path to getting into the right state for intimacy. Sometimes movement and energy help us feel more alive and connected to our bodies. Other times, what we need is a ritual that helps us slow down, let go of the day's stress, and create enough space for pleasure to emerge.

The conversation then takes a bigger turn: In a world where we track our sleep, steps, food, finances, and productivity, why don't we pay more attention to pleasure?

Jenni, Daniel, and Kim explore the idea of a “pleasure tracker” and what it might look like to notice the small moments that make us feel good- from a warm cup of coffee or sunshine on your face to a great workout, time in nature, a cuddle, a shared meal, or sexual connection.

They also unpack the difference between pleasure, intensity, and indulgence, and why chasing bigger or more intense experiences doesn't necessarily create more pleasure. True pleasure can be quiet, subtle, relational, sensory, and deeply connected to being present in the moment.

And then comes the metaphor at the heart of the episode: the pleasure piggybank.

Jenni describes how those small moments of pleasure are like deposits. When we regularly allow ourselves to experience pleasure throughout the day, we may arrive at intimacy with more abundance rather than feeling depleted or disconnected from our own needs.

Because sexual pleasure doesn't necessarily begin in the bedroom. It can begin with learning to notice what feels good, asking for what you want, creating boundaries around your time, and giving yourself permission to experience pleasure in everyday life.

You don't need a big moment every time. The pennies and nickels count, too.

So what are you putting into your pleasure piggybank today?

What if pleasure were something you could build into your everyday life, not something you had to earn? Dr. Jenni Skyler, Daniel Lebowitz, and producer Kim Kaplan explore the connection between pleasure, stress, exercise, relaxation, desire, and intimacy. They talk about why pleasure isn't the same as indulgence or intensity, and how small moments of connection- from coffee and sunshine to cuddling, movement, nature, and sex, can all become deposits in your “pleasure piggybank.” Because the more we practice noticing and inviting in pleasure outside the bedroom, the more connected we may become to pleasure inside it. The pennies and nickels count, too.

EP 34 - The Pleasure Piggybank 

Is 10 Seconds of Oral Sex Still a Blowjob?

How much time does it take for oral sex to “count”? Ten seconds? Thirty seconds? Does there have to be an orgasm, ejaculation, or even an erection?

In this episode of Sex and the Psyche, Daniel and Dr. Jenni Skyler tackle a surprisingly complicated question sparked by a very real-life sexual experience and introduce a phrase we’re pretty sure you won’t forget: the “Cock Kiss.”

They explore why there’s no universal stopwatch for good sex, how intention and attention can matter more than duration, and why the exact same sexual experience can feel satisfying to one person and completely unfinished to another. They also get into rapid ejaculation, orgasming without an erection, difficulty ejaculating while still enjoying stimulation, and how medications, age, health history, excitement, and infrequent sex can all affect what happens in the bedroom.

Most importantly, the conversation raises a bigger question: How do you communicate with your partner when your definition of “that was enough” isn't the same as theirs?

Because when it comes to sex, sometimes it's not about how long it lasted… it's about what happened while you were there.

And yes- sometimes it really is just a cock kiss.

Is 10 seconds of oral sex still a blowjob?  Daniel and Dr. Jenni Skyler tackle the surprisingly complicated question of what actually “counts” when it comes to oral sex. Does there have to be an orgasm? An erection? Ejaculation? Or is it really about the attention, intention, and experience? Along the way, they discuss rapid ejaculation, orgasms without erections, medications that can affect ejaculation, and why two people can walk away from the exact same sexual experience feeling very differently. And then there’s the phrase that started it all: the “cock kiss.”  Sometimes sex isn't about the stopwatch. It's about the connection and communicating with your partner about what feels satisfying, complete, and wanted.

BONUS EPISODE: The Cock Kiss Conundrum

What does it really mean when we say someone is “out of our league”? And how much of our dating life is shaped by the way we think we or our partners rank in the eyes of other people?

In this episode of Sex and the Psyche, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz unpack the cultural obsession with attractiveness, status, fitness, and the idea that some people are somehow more “valuable” partners than others.

They talk about how believing someone is out of your league can create anxiety, insecurity, and even lead us to tolerate behaviors we otherwise wouldn’t accept. But they also explore the other side of the conversation: the very real reasons humans have always evaluated potential partners, and why knowing what actually matters to you can be a powerful tool.

That’s where the list comes in.

Jenni explains how she works with dating clients to identify their priorities- not as a checklist for finding a perfect partner, but as a way to get clear about what they truly want in a relationship and a shared life. Is attraction at the top? Kindness? Loyalty? Emotional safety? Financial security? There’s no right answer. It’s your list.

And having that clarity can become a kind of safety net when chemistry, hormones, attraction, and emotions threaten to cloud your judgment.

Because maybe the better question isn’t, “Is this person out of my league?”

Maybe it’s: “Does this person fit the life I want?”

Tune in for a candid conversation about attraction, dating, self-worth, red flags, relationship priorities, and finding the confidence to choose the relationship that works for you.
