Well, welcome to Job with Julie. My name is Julie Slattery, and I am the host of this podcast,

which is the listener-supported outreach of authentic intimacy. We're a ministry that helps Christians

navigate sexual issues. So, okay, if you were going to summarize the way that you and your spouse

talk about sex, in one word, what would that word be?

Think about it. Is it complicated or maybe non-existent or perhaps difficult?

Now here's the thing. Most of us were never taught how to talk about sex.

Yeah, you may have watched porn, which really just taught you that sex can be demanded or engaged

in without communication.

Or maybe you grew up in a church where teaching about sex was basically limited to a sort

explanation about saving sex for marriage.

Well, if you've been married any amount of time, you know that being able to communicate about sex is really critical to intimacy.

My guest today is someone who actually loves talking about sex and is really good at it.

His name is Dr. Corey Allen, and he is the licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 20 years of experience in the marriage and sex therapy field.

He's also the founder of Sexy Marriage Radio, which is a podcast helping couples address

the sexual and relational issues they face in marriage.

Corey is candid, he's insightful, and really knowledgeable.

So maybe get your spouse to listen to this with you and enjoy this conversation with Dr.

Corey Allen.

All right, Dr. Corey, thanks so much for coming on again.

You are one of the few guests that know how to make me blush.

You talk about sexuality even more frankly than I do. I assure you that's

not one of my goals. I don't come on here with the goal of how can I, you know, make Julie squirm.
