This short transcript excerpt emphasizes that sexual activity includes more than intercourse, highlighting 'outer course' (foreplay and non-penetrative pleasure) and encouraging focusing on sensory enjoyment rather than concerns about erection or performance. The speaker suggests that worrying about firmness increases preoccupation with the penis and undermines present-moment pleasure.

Sex is made up of different kinds of sexual activity, not just intercourse. There is outer course, which is foreplay and enjoying pleasurable things and putting yourself in the moment, enjoying each other and not worrying about your erection and not worrying about just whether it's going to be firm enough for penetration or not. So that way you're just enjoying the senses and getting into more of thinking about the moment rather than am I firm enough? Is this going to happen again? Because the more you think about it, the more you can think about your penis.
