In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I'm a 24-year-old woman and have never enjoyed sex because it hurts. I've been checked out by my doctor and there doesn't seem to be anything anatomically wrong, but sex is never pleasant for me. Can you help?2) I'm a 36-year-old man and have been secretly wearing women's panties under my clothes for years. It's nothing sinister. I just like the feel of the fabric on my skin and that I'm doing something 'naughty.' I have never told anyone about this and have never been found out. For the first time, I am now in a relationship with a woman I think might understand and even indulge me. Do you think I should chance it and tell her? We've been together ten months and I want to marry her.3) Can you suggest a way to speed up sex with my husband? He lasts forever and thinks it's something to be proud of. I find it boring and I get sore. All I think about is how to make it end.

In this episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein speaks with sexual health experts Dr. Irwin Goldstein & Sue Goldstein. This amazing husband and wife team share insights on common issues such as vestibulodynia, libido challenges, and treatment options ranging from physical therapy to hormone therapy. They explore the often-overlooked intersection of joint hypermobility conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) with sexual dysfunction. They discuss how connective tissue disorders impact sexual health, the role of the sacral nerve in arousal and pain, and how patients can advocate for better care. Whether you're struggling with pain during intimacy or looking for solutions, this episode offers practical advice and hope. Takeaways: Connective Tissue Impacts Sexual Health: Conditions like EDS can affect the sacral nerve, leading to pain, discomfort, and sexual dysfunction that many doctors overlook. Mast Cell Dysfunction Can Trigger Pain: MCAS can cause issues such as vestibulodynia, leading to painful penetration and impacting quality of life beyond intimacy. Pelvic Floor Therapy is Essential: Specialized pelvic floor physical therapy can significantly improve sexual function and reduce pain for individuals with hypermobility disorders. Hormone Therapy May Help: Addressing hormonal imbalances, particularly testosterone and estrogen levels, can improve symptoms of vaginal dryness and pain. Communication is Key: Open conversations with partners and healthcare providers about sexual health concerns are crucial for finding the right treatments and maintaining intimacy.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) My question is about ‘face sitting'. My husband has asked me to try this with him, which I'm more than happy to do. But would like to know a bit more about it—especially because I'm a bigger girl and don't want to hurt him. 2) My girlfriend doesn't love giving BJs, but will do so on occasion. If she doesn't enjoy them, it's not fun for either of us, and if that's the case, that's just the way it is. But do you have any tips on getting her to enjoy them that might make a difference?3) My husband loves positions where he can penetrate deep inside me, but sometimes that's painful for me. Is there anything we can do to stop it from hurting, but still make it fun for him?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Here at Sex on Call, our personal expert on menopause is Maddie. She has her certification with North American Menopause Society and she is deeply passionate about all things menopause.Today, we are focusing on pain with sex in connection to menopause. As women can spend up to 40% of their life in menopause, many experience side effects from the declining estrogen and androgen specifically in our vaginal tissues. The lack of these hormones can often lead to discomfort and pain with intercourse including dyspareunia.The unfortunate reality is that 50% of women experiencing issues with their sexual function related to menopause never seek treatment or utilize therapy. Some common symptoms include irritation of the vulva, inadequate vaginal lubrication, burning, urinary urgency, decreased sexual sensation/pleasure, and more.In a survey of women, this has led to a negative effect on their lives, adverse effects on sexual intimacy, feeling less sexual, feeling old, negative consequences on marriage/relationships, negative effects on self-esteem, and lower quality of life.During our discussion, we share treatment options, why menopause doesn't have to include sexual discomfort, how often treatments usually take to be effective, and why estrogen is considered a safe and effective options for many patients.We hope this conversation is valuable for you!

On this episode we're focusing on dyspareunia in the postpartum period, which means pain with sex or penetration after birth. It's important to remember that this condition can be really difficult given it is also associated with a life transition of welcoming home a newborn and navigating your relationship with your partner during this time.We'll cover the difference between generalized pain in postpartum and pain with sex, risk factors of dyspareunia in postpartum, and treatment options. (A variety of treatment options are available including use of lubricants, estrogen cream to replenish lack of estrogen especially for breastfeeding patients, pelvic floor physical therapy, and even counseling may be beneficial if the women's physical response is related to her emotional response or trauma from birth.)Larisa also discusses things that she incorporates into her practice as a midwife to help decrease the amount of trauma to the pelvic floor, pelvic muscles, and vaginal tissue during birth.We hope you find this episode helpful and share with any of your friends navigating postpartum!

In this episode, Dr. Rena Malik, MD discusses the significant changes that the vulva undergoes during menopause with her guest, Dr. Mary Claire Haver. They explore the dramatic reduction in estrogen and testosterone levels and how this leads to tissue thinning, loss of collagen, and decreased mucus production in the vaginal area. These changes can result in discomfort, pain during sex, and increased susceptibility to infections. The conversation highlights the positive impact of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on mitigating these symptoms and improving women's overall health, despite the lingering misconceptions and stigmas surrounding its use. Dr. Mary Claire Haver emphasizes the benefits of estrogen for heart health, cholesterol management, and even mental well-being. They address the flaws and public misconceptions stemming from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, which significantly impacted the perception of HRT. The episode underscores the importance of educating both patients and clinicians about the safe and effective use of hormone therapy to improve the quality of life for women experiencing menopause. By advocating for better healthcare practices and raising awareness, Dr. Haver and Dr. Malik aim to empower women to seek the treatments they need Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content: renamalik.supercast.com Schedule an appointment with me: https://www.renamalikmd.com/appointments ▶️Chapters: 00:00 Menopause effects on vulva 01:32 Vaginal tissue changes 02:49 Testosterone and mood 03:08 Misconceptions about estrogen 06:48 Women's Health Initiative 12:33 SSRI use and alternatives Don't forget to check out Dr. Haver Tik Tok - tiktok.com/@drmaryclaire Facebook - facebook.com/drmaryclaire Instagram - instagram.com/drmaryclaire Youtube - www.youtube.com/@maryclairehavermd8473 The New Menopause Book - https://thepauselife.com/pages/the-new-menopause-book thepauselife.com https://maryclairewellness.com/ Let's Connect!: WEBSITE: http://www.renamalikmd.com YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@RenaMalikMD INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/RenaMalikMD TWITTER: http://twitter.com/RenaMalikMD FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/RenaMalikMD/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/renadmalik PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/renamalikmd/ TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/RenaMalikMD ------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER: This podcast is purely educational and does not constitute medical advice.

We are currently travelling, working remotely, and within 24 hours of arriving in Montenegro, we met Jelly. He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished.  The vets have given us a very stark picture of the reality. If Jelly goes back on the streets, his condition will deteriorate and he will suffer until he eventually passes away. We have been told to find him a home where he can continue getting care or put him to sleep. We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can. If you are able to and want to support, you can donate and read Jelly's full story on our Go Fund Me page. I truly cannot express how much your support means to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This episode is sponsored by Semaine.

Hey, welcome back to the Naked Marriage Podcast – we're right in the thick of our 14 Days Of Sex Challenge! This episode is a bit close to the heart. Today, we're diving into the sometimes sensitive issue of painful sex, and we want to approach it with the care it deserves. Opening up about the importance of communication, we share some insights on conditions like vaginismus and how those pelvic floor muscles can play a role in causing discomfort. But it's not just physical – we touch on the emotional impact too, stressing the need for understanding and support between partners. We even explore unexpected factors like allergies to condoms and lubricants. As we wrap up, think of this as a gentle reminder to seek solutions and support. And remember, finding intimacy in different ways is a journey worth taking. Join us for this intimate conversation, where openness paves the way to a healthier and more fulfilling sex life. ------------------ FREE GIFT: Ten Secrets to Great Sex https://dl.bookfunnel.com/fuvgz1oh6y The Counterfeit Climax Book: https://thecounterfeitclimax.com/ For all links mentioned in the episode & more XO content, visit https://linktr.ee/nakedmarriage ------------------ Takeaways Painful sex is a common issue that many couples experience but often struggle with in isolation. Vaginismus, a condition involving tight pelvic floor muscles, is a common cause of pain during sex and can be addressed through physical therapy. Allergies to condoms, lubricants, or spermicides can also cause discomfort during sex, and exploring alternative options may help. Menopause can lead to dryness and pain during sex, and hormone replacement therapy may be a solution. Believing and supporting your spouse when they experience pain is crucial, and seeking medical help and therapy can provide solutions. If one solution doesn't work, keep seeking alternatives and don't give up on finding ways to enjoy sex. During times of pain or discomfort, couples can focus on growing closer in other ways and finding intimacy outside of intercourse. Men can also experience pain during sex, and there are solutions available for them as well. Open communication, seeking help, and supporting each other are key to addressing and overcoming painful sex in a marriage. ------------------ 00:00 Introduction: Painful Sex 01:00 Vaginismus and Pelvic Floor Issues 02:22 Psychological Impact of Painful Sex 03:17 Allergies to Condoms and Lubricants 05:12 Painful Sex during Menopause 06:10 Believing and Supporting Your Spouse 07:36 Seeking Solutions and Finding Help 09:25 Growing Closer in Other Ways 09:54 Men's Experience of Painful Sex 10:23 Conclusion and Call to Action Learn more about your ad choices.
