  • Sexual IQ with Emily Morse

    Sexual IQ with Emily Morse
    Sep 8 2025
    On this week’s episode of The Reveal, we’re exploring a powerful idea: Sexual IQ. Just like emotional intelligence (EQ) can help us navigate feelings and relationships, Sexual IQ is about how we understand and engage with our own sexuality. It’s not measured by performance, experience, or even knowledge of technique. Instead, it’s built on curiosity, communication, self-awareness, and a willingness to grow. Sexual IQ shapes the way we connect to pleasure, the way we relate to partners, and the way we carry intimacy into the rest of our lives. Raising it can mean moving from a sex life that feels routine or disconnected to one that feels alive, creative, and deeply fulfilling. To guide us through what Sexual IQ really means and how to cultivate it, I’m joined by Dr. Emily Morse — a leading voice in sexuality and relationships, the host of the long-running podcast Sex with Emily and the author of Smart Sex: How to Boost Your Sex IQ and Own Your Pleasure . Together, we’ll unpack what goes into Sexual IQ and how it can transform the way we think about sex and connection.

    **Content Warning:This episode contains discussion of sexual assault. Some listeners may find this content difficult or triggering. Please take care of yourself while listening, and know that it’s always okay to pause or skip this episode if you need to.** Today we’re talking about something tender, powerful, and deeply necessary: what it means to reclaim pleasure after sexual trauma. For many survivors, the idea of feeling good in your own body — of trusting desire again — can feel distant, or even impossible. But healing doesn’t only mean surviving. It can also mean opening the door to joy, intimacy, and connection in ways that honor your boundaries and your pace. In today’s show, we’ll talk about how survivors can gently challenge the negative voices that block desire, the importance of creating safe containers for exploration and self-care and why pleasure — in all its forms — can be an act of radical healing. This is a conversation for anyone who’s been touched by trauma, directly or indirectly, and for anyone who believes that pleasure is not a luxury — it’s necessary and a human right. So let’s begin.” If this episode brought up difficult feelings, please take care of yourself and know that support is available. You are not alone.

    LOVE. We’re taught to believe it should look a certain way—sweeping gestures, perfect partners, and a happily ever after that fits nicely inside a neat little box. But what if that story isn’t serving us? What if rethinking love—taking it off the pedestal—could actually bring us closer to connection, not further from it? Culturally, when we mention love for a person we often assume it’s the love between romantic partners, but in reality love lives and expresses itself intimately, personally and uniquely through many different forms. So,I thought it might be interesting to dive into what it means to decenter romantic love: to separate love from sex, romance, fantasy, from social scripts, and from the pressure to make it look a certain kind of way. What if, instead of centering our romantic love relationship with a significant other, we recentered it to focus on our friends,family or better yet, ourselves? This conversation is about making space for different kinds of love—And maybe, redefining what it means to love and be loved in a way that fills us. This, is The Reveal. If this episode stirred something in you, I’d love to hear about it.
