Was It Good For You? - Alejandra Welsh Peña

·38 min·2 clips

Tantric sex can be as broad and as deep as you want it to, or just presence without performance.

Alejandra returns as a repeat guest and joins from her home in Ibiza, while the hosts joke about London's heat and settle into the recap. Sex and the City season 2, episode 16 is Was it good for you too? Charlotte is with a new boyfriend. He is a very good orthopedic surgeon who works constantly. In the middle of sex, he falls asleep. Charlotte freaks out. The moment is funny, but the show treats it as a real question about exhaustion and intimacy. From there the talk widens into what people need to feel safe enough to drop in. Alejandra talks through the idea of a solo practice space, even a bathtub, as a sacred place to switch off. She sketches the kind of room where sex can feel deliberate instead of accidental, with toys, lube, oil, and even impact play ready to go. That room can be for feeling safe, and it can also be for being kinky. The hosts compare that to building a home gym. If the space is ready, people use it more. Then the conversation swings back to Carrie and Patrick. They go on one date, then two, then three. Carrie keeps doing the work on the stoop, trying to get him to kiss her, while he misses the cue and she starts taking it personally. By the time she is about to leave, she is tired of being obvious, so she turns back, grabs him, and kisses him herself. The hosts read that as bold rather than embarrassing. They also keep circling back to how she can feel something happening, even before anyone says it out loud. The closing stretch stays in that same mode: direct, chatty, and willing to sit with the awkward part of it.

As heard by us

An awkward hookup becomes a brisk, funny look at desire, safety, and initiative.

This Sex and the City discussion turns a hookup mishap into something sharper than a simple recap. It stays funny, but it also pays attention to exhaustion, safer spaces, solo practice, and the practical side of desire.
