This week of Talk Sex With Dick, NYC Sex Therapist Dr. Richard Mills explores sexual fantasy, separating from a relationship, and emotional stress and frustrations during the holidays.
Before diving into to answer the first listeners question about sexual fantasy , I explore going to see Sylvan Esso and Cher, which I realized that I much more prefer smaller venues like Beacon Theater than Madison Square Garden — as the smaller venues fell much more intimate. I talk about my mother and fathers recent visit to NYC for Thanksgiving, how we attended the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. My parents realized that sometimes parade views are better experienced on TV.
The first listener from Washington writes in about how they are struggling with the idea of their partners sexual fantasy — a scenario where one partner lays naked in bed and they “take them.” The listener is having difficulty understanding the difference between needs and wants.
Another listener from Nebraska wrote in to discuss feeling board in their relationship and struggling with desire discrepancy, sexual fantasy and desire. They appear to find it difficult to engage sexually in their relationship, and finding a way to spice things up.
The next listener from St. Louis discusses the difficulty with a recent break up from a year ago and how this Thanksgiving is bringing up painful memories. They appear to find it difficult to remain focused and remain present in their life during this holiday season, which appears similar to experiencing a death.
The last listener from Indiana, discusses feeling overwhelmed this holiday season as they are not out and can’t bring their boyfriend home with them for the holidays. They feel caught between a rock and a hard place, as they wonder if they should stay with their boyfriend during the holidays, or return home where they are not out to their family.
