This episode is being re-released for your enjoyement. Please enjoy the episode. Natasha Helfer interviews Dr. Gina Ogden, PhD, LMFT (August 9, 1935 – November 2, 2018) on one of the most common complaints that get brought to sex therapists: low female sexual desire. Gina shares years of experience where she helps us ask pivotal questions to break this construct apart. What is it that we desire? Do women give themselves permission to experience pleasure? Gina instructs on her 4-dimensional model approach to what she calls the Integrative Wheel of Sexual Experience – where we delve into Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. Walking through these four dimensions is an approach that allows one to take a holistic approach to such things as libido or erotic differences in partnerships. Gina Ogden is an award-winning sex therapist, family therapist, researcher, teacher, and author. She is founder of the Relational Sexuality Network, an international collaboration of practitioners whose mission is to expand the practice of therapy and sex therapy beyond limiting notions of function and dysfunction to include a wide range of diversity and experience. She conducts retreats and trainings internationally, lectures widely, leads tele-seminars attended by professionals all over the world, and has appeared in the media from talk radio to the Oprah Winfrey Show. She supervises and trains sex therapists, physicians, nurses, social workers, family therapists, and other health providers in the Four-Dimensional Wheel approach, to broaden their understanding of sexual experience. She conducted the only nationwide survey on integrating sexuality and spirituality. She is the author of ten books. Her most recent books for a general readership (all published by Trumpeter) are: The Return of Desire (2008) and The Heart & Soul of Sex (2006). The 3rd edition of Women Who Love Sex, was published in 2007. Her books for a professional readership (all published by Routledge) are: Expanding the Practice of Sex Therapy: An Integrative Model for Exploring Desire and Intimacy, (2012) and Extraordinary Sex Therapy: Creative Approaches for Clinician (2015)—an edited collection of innovative and creative approaches from colleagues in the US and the UK.

Ep 150: For Men: New Sex Techniques to Blow Her Mind with Writer Habeeb Akande. This is a must-listen-to episode! It's epic! This episode is geared towards heterosexual men, but heterosexual women will benefit from listening as well. Habeeb Akande, who is a sex expert, historian, and public speaker, shares amazing relationship-improving advice for in the bedroom and out. He shares a special technique practiced in eastern Africa (such as in Rwanda and Kenya) that leads to a very high percentage of women squirting and much sexual pleasure. We chat about the goal of sex, whether that be sexual pleasure, orgasm, or female ejaculation, these are three different things, and of course, we include male ejaculation in this. We must acknowledge the goal of sex is highly subjective and individual. Habeeb shares the culture behind a technique called Kunyaza, which is the secret to female pleasure, and a sexual act that also meets male needs.  This technique is also one that can teach a man ejaculation control while keeping the focus on mutual pleasure. He discusses the sex positive practices for sex education in this culture where Kunyaza is practiced, which also includes inducing the feelings of emotional safety, emotional intimacy, and emotional security. Habeeb and I chatted about the sexual culture of the western world and Europe and how porn that stems from these societies can be both helpful and harmful. He shares with us information he has gathered during his ten years of writing and teaching men about a sex-positive and pleasure-filled approach to sex with their partners. We talk about the needs of men and women and the mutual rights to sexual pleasure and satisfaction. We reiterate the common belief that communication is paramount for all relationships.Find Habeeb Akande's books on Amazon (affiliate):Kunyaza: The Secret to Female Pleasure https://amzn.to/3G4XhyRWomen of Desire: A Guide to Passionate Love and Sexual Compatibility https://amzn.to/3wAnJNXA Taste of Honey: Sexuality and Erotology in Islam https://amzn.to/3wzR6zYIlluminating the Darkness: Black and North Africans in Islam https://amzn.to/3MCvJ6rIlluminating the Difference: Black, White, and Brown Women https://amzn.to/3Lx7gOMInstagram: http://instagram.com/habeeb_akandeAll Habeeb's links: https://linktr.ee/habeebakandeAlso, check out  Habeeb on The Orgasm Gap BBC documentary.Hello!

What does this mean? For example, we often have clear ideas about many roles we play in our lives… who am I as a parent?… as a spouse?… as a business partner? But how many times have we thought about… who am I sexually? So, how do we go about claiming our own sexuality in ways that hold authenticity and internal authority? What sexual values do we hold – not just from our religious culture – but from the space of pleasure, consent, vulnerability, erotic experience, etc.? And then… how do we communicate these sexual spaces with our partners – especially when sexual tastes and preferences differ?

Dr. Gina Ogden is a twenty-first century pioneer in sexuality and spirituality—combining her career as a sex therapist and researcher, with her ongoing practice as a leader of inspirational retreats and workshops. Her nationwide survey, “Integrating Sexuality and Spirituality” (ISIS) brings sex survey research light years beyond traditional notions of function and dysfunction—3,810 respondents reveal that the core power of sexual connection is its ability to transform our lives—at any age, whether or not you have a partner. Her latest book is The Return of Desire: A Guide to Rediscovering Your Sexual Passion. This book is receiving rave reviews. —From Esther Perel: “probes the intricacies of female sexuality with subtle depth and understanding....” —From Ian Kerner: “to read this book is to bask in the radiance of the wisest of sexual guides....” —From Riane Eisler: “Gina Ogden lifts the language of desire from competition and dysfunction to caring, empathy, and a powerful new consciousness.” Gina’s 2006 book, The Heart and Soul of Sex was featured by Dr. Christiane Northrup in the recent blockbuster PBS Special, “The Wisdom of Menopause.” In 2007, Shambhala released a new edition of Gina’s beloved classic: Women Who Love Sex: Ordinary Women Describe Their Paths to Pleasure, Intimacy, and Ecstasy—Library journal writes: “All libraries should have this book.” Gina lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and conducts workshops and trainings around the country. These powerful events demonstrate that it’s possible to open to the profound wisdom of our own bodies, minds, hearts and spirits. It all begins with self-esteem and willingness to move beyond negativity and beyond the limiting notion that sex is all about performance.
