Love, Sex & Goop on Netflix

[Justherb]

Has anyone watched this series? If you are in a relationship would you do something like this?

I haven’t seen it! Is it worthwhile?

 

[Justherb]

It depends on what kind of relationship you're in I guess. We're together 31 years and while we have a healthy sex life we've been exploring recently.

It follows several couples seeking to fix or enhance their sexual relationships with the help of coaches and therapists. Two of the couples undergo physical bodywork with the coach with some frank and direct discussion. It's the kind of thing that excites my wife, very clinical and structured. Though I'm sure she'd never do it herself.

Yeah...I watched the first episode. It's like 100 level classes for someone who's been 'at it' a while. I know and understand quite clearly how a dramatic difference in sexual creativity can negatively impact a relationship, and I think it is rougher on the more creative partner to balance personal gratification with underwhelming sexual input from a partner.

I'll watch another but there better be penis.

I started it and have found it very informative already. I would like my husband to watch it with me, but I'm not sure how he would feel about that.

You don't know how he would feel about it. That's kinda the crux of the biscuit.

We both come from extremely religious backgrounds. There’s a lot of repression to deal with unfortunately. Lol

Genesis 1:28
Be fruitful and multiply. Specifics are unclear.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Those Shakers missed that verse!

If you can't make it through Genesis...you may not really be religious.

Back to the show. My bullshit detector was blaring at the end of ep.2 when the guy was giving the woman pleasure by manipulating her energy field. Too rehersed, plus, no penis.

With the therapist couple maybe, but the real couple seemed to feel something, especially the husband. Though I wonder hw much of that was just the situation itself with the table, cameras and other woman with his wife watching.

I keep hoping I'll learn something new. Most sex is just improvised. I kinda have to hand it to BDSMERS. They have a script to follow.
