1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Paramore misery business on one or two point seven. It 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: is kiss f M. Let's get into it relationships. And 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: you know, when you break up with somebody, it is 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: very hard to emotionally get past that breakup, right, you 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: can go through ebbs and flows of it all. But 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: Dr Desirie Robinson is joining us now a certified sex 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: therapist and psychotherapist who focuses on the connection the intimacy 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: to trauma that we all go through. Dr Desire, thank 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: you for coming on. We appreciate it, Thank you, just fine, 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: happy to be here. Great Desire, Thank you for coming on. 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: So you say, if you're fresh out of a breakup 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: and you find yourself really hung up on that other person, 13 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: then the best thing to do is sleep with someone else. 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: It's an option, It's truly an option. Yet and why 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: is that a good option? So here's the key here. 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: My biggest philosophy is that people have to be honest 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: and truthful with themselves. Right, we're not romanticizing this next person. 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: They are not your next relationship or spouse. This is 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: really closing the chapter that this previous relationship is over, 20 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: and so how do we move you forward in your story? 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: And that doesn't have to be abstinent of sexual pleasure 22 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: at all. Cesany you were saying that you do, you 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: think it could be a good option if you need 24 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: to get over somebody to do this. If this person 25 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: ended up becoming my husband success story, Yeah, I went 26 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: from getting over to getting under a lot and it 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: just made me depressed. It was like I was so 28 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: I felt so sad. It made way way worse. That 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to me, And a lot 30 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: of people actually do this, and so I wouldn't encourage 31 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: if it's more so nameless, faceless spects, if it's not 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: with any sort of intention and right. So, the idea 33 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: is that pleasure sex intimacy first off, is super subjective. 34 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: It means different things to different people. So if we're 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: going into this like, hey, let me try to do 36 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: revenge or prove something that wouldn't be helpful to you 37 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: as an individual compared to how can I work on 38 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: my sexual communication skills? A third of MYSS just building 39 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: my yes as a nose without the emotional connection, right, 40 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: because sometimes we're worried about oh I don't want to 41 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: hurt someone's feelings, etcetera. This can absolutely be a space 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: to move through a breakup without associating it with this 43 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: other person per se. It comes to me a self 44 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: confidence booster in a way. Yeah. I mean I when I, 45 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: when I was trying to get over an X, I 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: essentially started dating my now husband And we didn't obviously 47 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: have sex right away, but we just essentially started dating 48 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: and then it led to that. But it was this method. 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: It was like my sister set me up with him 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: so that I could get over my ex. Like it 51 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: was a quote unquote rebound. Like it was. That's what 52 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be. It was the 53 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: beginning of summer, and I thought it was going to 54 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: be a summer fling and that would be the end 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: of it. What about let me ask you this, we're 56 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: talking about this earlier. What do you think of the 57 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: dynamic that two people are busy in a relationship and 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: they have to schedule intimacy. Is that a good thing 59 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: or is that tragic? I love it. I absolutely love it. 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: Part of it is the intention, Right, you make time 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: for baseball, for your kids, whatever, but you're not going 62 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: to make time to really make love to your partner. 63 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. We're all busy people, busy lives and some 64 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: of this can be scheduled. The beauty is leading up 65 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to the scheduled sex. You can absolutely create a culture 66 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: of intimacy, eroticism, flirt, sex, do whatever. It's not just 67 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: the act, it's also the dynamic that you're building, the 68 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: build up. I like that. It's a good spin on it. Well, 69 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: listen right, thank you so much for coming on. We 70 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: appreciate the insights. Always interesting. Thank you so much for 71 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: having me. Of course, you take care. She was really 72 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: into that. Yeah, she likes it does make sense to her, 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: say it the way she says perspective. The scheduling is 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: we never schedule it. But I might be into that. 75 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: All right, Uh, but I'm still not making food my 76 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: homework assignment.
