What is Spectatoring?
A term used by sex researchers Masters and Johnson to describe when a person worries about or judges their appearance or performance during sexual experiences.
Ways to shift away from spectatoring:
1- Shift from a goal-focused mindset to a pleasure-focused mindset
2- Begin a practice of mindfulness, focusing on slowing down and sensations in your body. (join my email list to gain access to my mindfulness instructional video).
3- Focus on your breath and TTP during sex (TTP explained in video above)
4- Address any underlying body image or intimacy issues, you may need to seek professional help through therapy or coaching for this.
5- Utilize these resources! Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski, Better Sex Through Mindfulness by Lori Brotto, From Madness to Mindfulness by Jennifer Gunsaullus
