Are you disgusted by the bodily fluids of your partner? Maybe you're disgusted by your own bodily fluids. If so, you are not alone. Many people feel this way. I used to.

In this podcast, we talk about why we feel bodily fluids are so disgusting and what we can do about that in our relationship. You won't be able to go from "bodily fluids are disgusting" to "anything that comes from the body is good" overnight, but it is possible. Sources: BBC News Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown Pubmed

Are you reluctant to show any affection towards your husband because then he'll want sex and you'll have to give it to him? Maybe you've been told that when your husband has an erection but doesn't have an orgasm, he is in actual pain. What if I told you that this is WRONG!

One of the questions I see the most in Facebook groups I follow is, "How do I know if my partner is turned on?" But I think that what they really want to know is the opposite. They want to know why their partner isn't showing the outward signs of arousal like an erection or wetness. Let's talk about what some studies have found about the difference between men and women when it comes to how our bodies react to stimuli and how our brain reacts. Because, as with most things, they are very different. Sources: Come As You Are by Emily Nagasaki Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá

I recently watched a 'horse whisper' do a lay down with a horse. If you've never seen this process, it is amazing! But unlike horses, who constantly think, "Am I safe?" and look for things outside themselves to make them safe, we humans can find safety within. And when we feel that inner safety, then we can really open up to our partner and enjoy sex and our sexuality in a way that we haven't before. Listen to this episode to see what it looks like when we don't feel safe, what it looks like when we do, and what we can do to change it.
