What's Your Magic Sex Number? | Steven Ing | TEDxUniversityofNevada

All of us tend to settle down in committed, long-term relationships without really getting to know the other person the way we should. We fail to do what the business world calls, "performing our due diligence." This is particularly true in the area of sex, where we make a number of irrational assumptions. Marriage and Family Therapist Steven Ing shows us how to do better, inspired by one simple (but vitally important) question. Marriage & Family Therapist Steven Ing is reframing an important conversation in society — one about the intelligent management of human sexuality. His most recent book, “We’re All Like This” is used as a textbook in Human Sexuality courses in university classrooms. His frank, accessible and compassionate demeanor has earned him a wide following — whether in his HuffPost contributions, his newspaper columns or in his speaking engagements. He has trained parents about having “the sex talk” (or rather, talks), HR professionals about sexual harassment, advertisers and marketers about using sexuality (rather than just sex) in advertising, law enforcement about sex offenders and more. Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein observed that if we do not have the words to describe a thing, then we cannot understand that thing. Steven Ing's career is all about helping us find the words to safely talk about this most intimate part of who we are. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
