How to Talk About Sex Drive with Dr. Laurie Mintz, Emeritus Professor, Author & Sex Therapist

Episode 2

Have you ever wondered if your sex drive is normal? Maybe you couldn’t care less if you ever have sex again…or it seems like this is how your partner feels. At least 33% of women say they have lost interest in sex. Differing sex drives are a huge source of conflict, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings in relationships….it’s just so easy to take this topic personally when it’s not deeply understood.

Dr. Laurie Mintz, author, emeritus professor, licensed psychologist, and sex therapist joins us today to answer questions like, where has our drive gone, what can we do about it, HOW the heck do we talk about this with our partners, should we be scheduling sex, having “duty sex”, and….should we be faking it? Dr. Lori is seriously one of my idols and being able to chat with her was a DREAM. If this subject stresses you out or makes you sweaty just thinking about it, Dr. Laurie is wise and entertaining, and I hope she will help you feel more at ease about this not-so-easy-to-talk-about subject AND that you leave this podcast feeling more accepting of yourself. Maybe….you’re not broken…
