They discuss the influence of society on women's thoughts and desires, the historical context of women's desire, and the concept of object of affirmation desire. They also explore body image and self-criticism, the importance of communication in relationships, and the process of changing thoughts and self-criticism. Overall, the conversation highlights the power of thoughtwork in transforming women's relationship with desire and pleasure. In this conversation, Kara Loewentheil discusses the impact of society's expectations on women and how thought work can help break free from sexist thinking. She emphasizes the transformational power of thought work and the importance of commitment and practice. Kara shares her personal experiences and how thought work has changed various aspects of her life. She also highlights the need to embrace the human experience and let go of the fantasy of constant improvement. The conversation concludes with an announcement about Kara's book, 'Take Back Your Brain.' Takeaways Society plays a significant role in shaping women's thoughts and desires.

Modern Sex Challenges with Dr. Marianne Brandon Thanks to our sponsor Uber Lube 10% off, Code NOTBROKEN  uberlube.com Check out my retreat March 2024! https://ascendretreats.com/ Dr. Marianne Brandon is a clinical psychologist and Diplomate in sex therapy.  Dr. Brandon is the author of “Monogamy: The Untold Story” and the ebook “Unlocking the Sexy in Surrender: Using the Neuroscience of Power to Recharge Your Sex Life”. She is co-author of the book “Reclaiming Desire: 4 Keys to Finding Your Lost Libido.”  Dr. Brandon makes cutting edge research on relationships and intimacy accessible for the general public — advice that the people are clearly starving for. Consider the stats:   Over 50% of marriages end in divorce    Over 40% of women and 30% of men report a sexual concern     20% of marriages are “sexless”     Over 20% of women report “marked distress” about their sexual relationships  Approximately 30% of spouses have had an affair Dr. Marion Brandon highlights the challenges of sex in society, the lack of comprehensive sex education, and the nuances of pornography. Dr. Brandon also explores the complexities of monogamy, the impact of AI and sex tech, and the role of power dynamics in relationships. She emphasizes the importance of treating couples, not just individuals, and the benefits of having a biopsychosocial perspective. The conversation explores the importance of hormone changes in midlife and the impact it has on sexual health. It highlights the lack of awareness and treatment of genital urinary syndrome, which can significantly affect relationship dynamics. The discussion also addresses the lack of knowledge among physicians regarding available treatments. The impact of intimate connection on overall well-being is emphasized, and Marianne Brandon's Psychology Today blog is recommended as a valuable resource. Comprehensive sex education is lacking, particularly in the digital age. Pornography can be a complex topic, with both positive and negative aspects. Monogamy can be challenging and requires effort, communication, and mindfulness. The rise of AI and sex tech presents both opportunities and concerns. Power dynamics can play a role in sexual relationships and can be explored in a healthy way. Understanding hormone changes and desire discrepancy is important in addressing sexual issues. Treating couples as a unit is crucial for addressing sexual concerns. Taking a biopsychosocial perspective can provide a more comprehensive understanding of sex and relationships. Midlife hormone changes can have a significant impact on sexual health and overall well-being. What to do when the man has a low libido. Genitourinary syndrome is often under-treated and can lead to changes in relationship dynamics. Physicians may lack knowledge about available treatments for sexual health issues. A satisfying intimate connection has a profound impact on relationships and overall life satisfaction. Marianne Brandon's Psychology Today blog is a valuable resource for information on sexual health. The testosterone conference for clinicians is an important event for learning about biopsychosocial and hormonal aspects of sexual health. She asks her clients about their best sex ever because I can learn a lot about them from this memory.    https://www.drbrandon.net/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-future-intimacy twitter @drbrandon https://www.instagram.com/drmbrandon/   Harvard Testosterone Course https://hmstestosteronecourse.com/ Check out details for my retreat: https://ascendretreats.com/ Did you get my “You Are Not Broken” Book Yet? https://amzn.to/3p18DfK Listen to my Tedx Talk: Why we need adult sex ed Join my NEW Adult Sex Ed Master Class: https://www.kellycaspersonmd.com/adult-sex-ed Join my membership to get these episodes ASAP when they are created and without advertisement and even listen live to the interviews and episodes. www.kellycaspersonmd.com/membership --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

238. Testosterone - An Education

238. Testosterone: An Education  Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals addyi.com/notbroken Go to Addyi.com and use code NOTBROKEN for a $10 telemedicine appointment. Thanks to our sponsor Uber Lube 10% off, Code NOTBROKEN  uberlube.com Dr. Khera lives in Houston, TX practices at Baylor and has dedicated his clinical and research efforts to three main areas:  Men’s Health, sexual medicine, and hormone replacement therapy.   His basic science and clinic experiences have allowed him to thus far give over 250 lectures at scientific meetings throughout the world, publish over 120 articles in peer-reviewed journals, complete 15 book chapters, and edit and write two books, all in the field of sexual medicine and Men’s Health. Why is testosterone so interesting to Dr. Khera? Testosterone and prostate cancer – what do we know. Is a lowering Testosterone in men "natural"? and if it isn’t, what causes low testosterone in men? What do the new weight loss drugs do to testosterone levels and male fertility? We discuss the different ways you can give testosterone to women: topical, pellets and compounded injectable doses of testosterone for women: 50mg/ml and start at 0.1 mg injected a week. The benefits of testosterone for women besides low libido. The role of chronic pain and testosterone and pain meds. The mechanism of how your testosterone goes up when you lose body fat. The four pillars of health for natural testosterone production – diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction Erectile dysfunction is a harbinger for heart attack and heart disease. “There is not a better barometer of a man’s overall health than his sexual health” – Dr. Khera The role of DHEA (a mild androgen made in the adrenals) in men and women. The link with Peyronies disease and Testosterone. And we discuss penile stretching devices. We discuss a 2013 Finkelstein article – they gave men testosterone and blocked its conversion to estrogen. So are we undertreating men by not addressing their estrogen? Dr. Khera was  part of the NEJM study that came out this summer looking at T in men with low T and high risk CV risk. The Traverse trial. Conclusions: In men with hypogonadism and preexisting or a high risk of cardiovascular disease, testosterone-replacement therapy was non-inferior to placebo with respect to the incidence of major adverse cardiac events.  Barriers to a testosterone prescription include that it is a regulated medication, a physician needs a DEA license to prescribe it – similar to a narcotic. Dr. Khera lends his opinion to safe prescribing of testosterone but thinks the DEA regulation is here to stay. He clarifies the number of men who suffer from hypogonadism and the number of men who are undergoing treatment for this condition? Testosterone levels are dropping because men are getting less healthy. Dr. Khera talks about measuring a baseline testosterone level in men as a marker of overall health and focus on lifestyle changes to naturally get this normal. 50% of men don’t talk to their doctor about their erectile dysfunction, and 44% of those men don’t talk to their partner about it. www.instagram.com/drmohitkhera Dr. Mohit and Dr. Morgentaler’s testosterone course ⁠NEJM article discussed: Gonadal Steroids and Body Composition, Strength, and Sexual Function⁠ ⁠Traverse Trial https://drmohitkhera.com/ Did you get my “You Are Not Broken” Book Yet? https://amzn.to/3p18DfK Listen to my Tedx Talk: Why we need adult sex ed Join my NEW Adult Sex Ed Master Class: https://www.kellycaspersonmd.com/adult-sex-ed Join my membership to get these episodes ASAP when they are created and without advertisement and even listen live to the interviews and episodes. www.kellycaspersonmd.com/membership --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

237. Libido/Desire Differences in Partners

237. Libido/Desire Differences in Partners Thanks to our sponsor Uber Lube 10% off, Code NOTBROKEN  uberlube.com  Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals addyi.com/notbroken Go to Addyi.com and use code NOTBROKEN for a $10 telemedicine appointment. Dr. Jennifer Vencill (she/her) is an assistant professor, board certified clinical health psychologist, and AASECT certified sex therapist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Her research focuses on sexual health and health disparities in marginalized sexual and gender communities. Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy (she/her) is a licensed psychologist and an AASECT certified sex therapist. She received her doctorate in clinical psychology and completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Minnesota’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health. She has advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and Gottman Method Couple Therapy. She specializes in sexual health and relationships and owns her own private practice in Minnesota.  Why did they needed to write a book about desire? Desire discrepancy should be part of adult sex education "Your desire should match your partner" is a myth. Why do we want to blame someone or make someone be the problem in a relationship for having a low libido. The stereotype is that the low libido person is the female – but that is not always the case. We define responsive desire. Four requirements for responsive desire – consent, pleasure, focus, time When you have sex for your partner or fulfill a duty – if this is the default or only motivator for sex it can really affect your desire. Tips for getting out of this pattern. We talk about shame and sex. Your sexuality does not exist in a bubble. We suss out asexuality versus low desire. Asexuality is a self-identity label and a valid sexual orientation. What to do when not attracted to a partner anymore? Is attraction as fluid as desire is? We talk about “sexual destiny” beliefs versus sexual growth beliefs and how these can hurt and benefit our relationships.   Tips for the high libido partner. Reducing pressure on their partner and managing their rejection and disappointment reactions. Consider what you are longing for when you seek sexual connection or sexual frequency. Tips for “trying to conceive" low libido Is “desire discrepancy” in a relationship a deal breaker? Not usually. What to do when your partner stonewalls you or doesn’t want to work on the relationship.   Dr. Fogel Mersy Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok @drlaurenfogelmersy  Dr. Vencill www.instagram.com/drjennifervencill.
