Suzanne, is a practising psychologist that specialises in couples sex therapist and is a faculty member at the Ackerman Institute in New York City. Suzanne also writes on topics like human sexuality.

We also discuss whether you can have sex without desire, whether there needs to be an orgasm for sex to be pleasurable and so much more.
