Christmas this year is the same as every year. We’ve been fighting over money and stupid things, and our two kids are killing each other (6 and 9). Me and my husband are tired and stressed every year and we take it out on each other and the kids. I’m so sick of it. While […]
Emily Power Smith
My background is in art therapy and the healing arts, education and facilitation, I have recently completed a Masters Degree in Sexology in Western Australia.
I have returned with a clear mission: To create a safe and respectful environment for ALL people to avail of their basic human right to sexual health, equality and enjoyment by providing open dialogue, correct information, support and therapy.
There should be no room for shame, guilt or fear relating to sexual behaviours as long as they are consenting and respectful, and there should be no judgement of anyone who does not fit our manufactured concepts of what is "normal" or "right". But beyond that, my aim is to celebrate the most natural, normal and beautiful form of sharing, affection, love and exploration known to all animals. I come from a place of damage and healing and my journey to empowerment and deep joy will never end.
I invite others to join me and to share from their hearts so that we can move forward together through the difficult, painful and dark, to the exciting, stimulating and fun. I am strong, determined and I will do my best to create value out of even the most challenging of sexual issues.
The Tommy Tiernan Show
A great chance to meet one of my comedy heroes, and to be interviewed with intelligence and humour. We talk common sexual problems, and sex positivity in Ireland
Success Stories
Hi Emily, I wanted to write in to share my experience as I think it could help others. I’m a mother of two and have a husband I adore. After the second birth I felt pain during intercourse. I tried to ignore it as having a baby and a three-year old pushed sex down […]
Sex Toys
Why use things like toys to enhance your love/sex life. Isn’t flesh on flesh more meaningful? Enhance is right. It’s totally subjective. If you love skin on skin and so does your partner and you don’t feel the need for toys, don’t have them. But if you’d like more variety in your sexual […]
Coming Out
I’m from a small town and it’s normal there to slag people off as “gay” or “fags”. I’ve gone along with everyone else and it’s always been a laugh. I left home two years ago to go to college and I’ve started hooking up with guys recently and I really like it. I’m not […]
Porn Use
I’m 19 and I watch a lot of porn. I started with straight, vanilla stuff and kept going. Now I get more turned on by gay porn than by straight or girl on girl porn. Does this mean I’m gay? Arousal – and ultimately orgasm – becomes synonymous with whatever you’re watching. If you […]
Painful Sex
I’m 23 and have had sex five times since I was 20. It has hurt every time and leaves me feeling like I’m burning inside. I’ve met a guy I like and we’ve been on a few dates. I know he’s going to expect sex soon and I can’t face the disappointment again. Makes […]
Lubrication
You talk about good lubrication a lot but what’s the difference between all the different kinds and how do I choose? Great question. Your lube is a personal choice and there isn’t one lube that everyone will love. Here’s a brief outline of the types of lubes available and what you can expect. […]
Female Orgasms
I’m married for 10 years, I have two lovely children. Main problem with lovemaking is that I come very quickly (within 2 or 3 mins) and I am the woman! I have googled this problem and haven’t found out why this is happening. Very frustrating, but my other half is very patient and understanding. I […]
Female Oral Pleasure
My boyfriend wants to go down on me but I’m way too embarrassed and worried about the smell and taste. How could anyone really like that? It’s very common for women to worry about the look/taste/smell of their vulvas and vaginas. I wonder why you’re embarrassed. Women’s vulvas vary as much as their […]
