Degrees of Health Dr Marianne Brandon, PhD | Why We’re Having Less Sex - The Latest Scoop on Intimacy, Desire and Tech
Has desire for your partner changed within the course of your relationship? Do you feel like you and your partner are mis-matched in terms of desire? Are you curious to know what you could do differently to change this from a sex therapist with over 27 years experience? Read on.
Dr Marianne Brandon, PhD, joins us as we delve into the complex world of sexual dynamics, relationships, and the future of intimacy. As a clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and futurist, Dr. Brandon sheds light on the often-unspoken challenges couples face in long-term relationships, offering fresh perspectives rooted in evolutionary psychology and modern-day realities.
We cover:
👩❤️👨 Men and Women - why our sexual wiring is fundamentally different and why understanding this matters
🔥 Hijack Your Biology - tapping into primal instincts in safe, trusting relationships
📉 Why Desire Fades - the evolutionary reasons long-term relationships kill lust and tips on how to bring it back
🤖 Sex Tech & VR Porn - how cutting-edge technology is both enhancing and complicating modern relationships
Dr Marianne says - we can’t solve a problem we don’t understand. This episode helps us understand our evolutionary instincts and just how much they play into our modern lives at, largely, an unconscious level - and rather than trying to suppress, ignore, or repress them, to accept them, give them air time, and an outlet.
