Ep. 34: Live Your Best Sex Life with Isharna Walsh

Isharna Walsh is the Founder of Coral, a sexual wellness app that helps people live their best intimate lives through science-backed research, industry expertise and community engagement. Previously, Isharna was a venture capitalist with Embark Venture, a management consultant with the Boston Consulting Group and executive at SteelHouse. A Sri Lankan Aussie with a global perspective, Isharna’s passion for social impact led her to found a company aimed at social change around sexuality. Since inception, Coral has attracted tens of thousands of users and continues to gain wide visibility.

In this episode, we discuss:

· The lack of education we receive around exploring our own sexuality and sexual preferences.

· How our barometer for a healthy, fulfilling sex life is typically pornography, what we see in the movies, or what we read in romance novels, and we aren’t really equipped to talk to our partner and figure out what is best for our relationship.

· Two different ways in which we experience desire and why it’s important to know yours.

· How, for responsive desire types, what gets you in the mood is very individualized and why you should experiment to learn what works best for you.

· How within each relationship there is a higher desire partner and a lower desire partner; and how this desire frequency differential can cause issues and insecurities.

· How mindfulness when it comes to sex is just as important as it is with every other aspect of our lives.

· The impractical expectations put on men when it comes to sex despite a lack of information or teaching.

· And how maybe we are all only scratching the surface of the amount of pleasure we are capable of feeling.
