Gwyneth Paltrow and sexpert Jaiya — known for contactless “energetic orgasms” — assistance couples get their goop backmost successful Netflix’s “Sex, Love & Goop.”

On the show, Jaiya teams up with Erika and Damon, a joined mates who person been unneurotic for six years, and whose uneven enactment drives are starting to endanger their connection. The attraction is determination — “The archetypal clip I met her, I deliberation I fell successful emotion with her,” Damon, an artist, tells the camera — but Erika is little funny successful getting it connected than her lusty, and much experienced, husband.

Then, his eyes popped open, and helium looked astatine maine helium was like, ‘What’s happening? That feels truthful good!’”

On the show, Jaiya gives Erika and Damon a quiz, past brings retired immoderate props — including blindfolds, fuzzy toys and crisp metallic claws — to assistance them some fig retired what they like.

Jaiya introduces her partner, Ian, to show each of the sizzling imaginable of energetic play. First, she lays down blindfolded connected a array portion Ian manipulates the aerial astir her caput and her pelvis portion she writhes. Next, the brace beryllium look to face, getting progressively blistery and heavy, adjacent though their lips and bodies ne'er touch.
