About this listen

Ask Bri! Got a question? Send it over and listen out for a response during the following episode!

The brain is our biggest sex organ, with areas like the anterior cingulate cortex and genital sensory cortex activating during both physical stimulation and erotic thoughts. Understanding how to seduce the mind creates a foundation for profound physical pleasure experiences.

• Pleasure begins between the ears, not between the thighs
• The brain crotch (genital sensory cortex) activates during both physical stimulation and imagination
• Mental blocks to pleasure are like being stuck in traffic—anxiety and overthinking stall desire
• Dr. Emily Nagoski's dual control model explains desire as having accelerators and brakes
• Releasing the brakes (stress, shame, distractions) is more important than pressing the accelerator
• Effective mental seduction techniques include anticipation, suggestion, dirty talk, and sensory deprivation
• Fantasy play, erotic intelligence, and forbidden thrills create powerful mental arousal
• Taking time with mental stimulation before physical touch transforms intimate experiences
