Two speakers discuss how processing emotion affects sexual response. Speaker A asks how to elevate emotions (versus fear/sadness that dampen arousal). Speaker B responds that many people lack emotional awareness, sharing a personal anecdote about 'opting out' of emotion for ~50 years which limited sexual experience despite physical response.

How can you process your emotion? So we know that, hey, if you feel sad or if you feel fear, feel threatened, that will dampen it. That makes sense. So, in the contrary, how can you elevate that emotion to enhance your sexual response?
Yeah, great question. Well, part of it. You know, for so many of us, we don't even really understand emotion. We don't understand. I know for me, I thought I could opt out. So I functioned for 50 years just opting out of emotion. So even sexually, I showed up. My body would show up, but there was such a big part missing because I did not have the emotional awareness.
