This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen explore the topics of sex, libido, and desire. As sex therapists, they share their expertise and insight into these sometimes hard-to-talk-about topics. They begin the episode by answering the #1 listener question: how do I increase my libido? They also answer questions about having a different libido than your partner, spontaneous desire vs. responsive desire, the orgasm gap, and feeling rejected by your partner's lack of libido. They discuss how to communicate with your partner when you aren’t interested in sex, maintaining your sex drive after having a kid, and how to bring up the topic of sex to your therapist. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 4:00 into their convo to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.
