Episode 257: How To Make a Sex Plan for the New Year (Essential Listen)

New year, new sex life. The transition between years is always a good time to stop and reflect, and that includes thinking about your intimate life. How are things going? Are you getting what you want? Does it feel like something is missing? Depending on how you answered these questions, it might be time for a sex plan. We identify our goals and plan a lot of things in our lives, but we often don’t approach sex with that same intentionality. For today’s show, we’re revisiting one of Sex and Psychology’s Essential Listens, which is my interview with Dr. Juliana Hauser from episode 155. Let’s make a sex plan!

Juliana Hauser is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor who specializes in relationships, sex, and sexuality. In addition to running a private practice, Dr. Juliana is a nationally known expert in this area whose work has appeared all over in the media.

Some of the topics we discuss include:

• What are some practical things you can do to develop a greater sense of sexual empowerment?
• How can resolutions to boost physical and mental health enhance sexual performance and satisfaction?
• How can you introduce more novelty into your sex life?
• What resolutions can help someone be more present during sex?
• What is a sex plan, and how can making one benefit you and your relationship(s)?
