In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson speaks with Dr. Rachel Boyle, a sex therapist specializing in perimenopause and menopause. They explore the complexities of women's sexual health, the impact of hormonal changes, and the importance of communication in relationships. Dr. Boyle shares her journey into understanding perimenopause, the effectiveness of EMDR therapy for trauma, and the cultural pressures women face regarding their bodies and sexuality. The conversation emphasizes the need for qualified therapists and the significance of creating safe spaces for women to explore their desires and experiences. Takeaways Low libido can be a message rather than a problem. Healing trauma doesn't require reliving it, but releasing it. Perimenopause can last for many years, affecting women's health. EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories effectively. Women often bear the emotional labor in relationships, leading to stress. Communication about sex is crucial for healthy relationships. Desire for sex can be influenced by hormonal changes and emotional safety. Cultural attitudes towards women's bodies impact their sexual health. Consensual non-monogamy requires clear communication and boundaries. Therapists should be trained in women's sexual health issues. https://www.rachelboyle.com/ To my fellow clinicians: listen to this podcast on ⁠⁠⁠Pinnacle for FREE to earn CME credit⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Waitlist is open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thanks to our sponsor ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Midi Women's Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

What really happens when you stop settling for “fine” in the bedroom? This week, Andrea Knoche sits down with somatic sex therapist and Pleasure Keys creator Susan Morgan Taylor to unpack how women can reignite desire, heal sexual disconnection, and rewrite their pleasure story.

It's raw, liberating, and guaranteed to make you rethink everything you thought you knew about female desire.

Dr. Jenni and Daniel chat with sexuality journalist, and Lifestyle editor for the New York Post, Fabiana Buontempo about her experiences in the dating world professionally and personally. The stakes are higher for men as women create autonomous and lucrative careers; while other women are taking a "pseudo"-celibacy approach to their dating game. Jenni and Daniel discuss with her ways to dating intentionally and manifest what you are ultimately looking for and about her experiences with hot topics like celibacy and the new rules of dating. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listener Question from a 45 year old male in the dating scene asks about how to name his desires in the bedroom without it coming off as criticism. Daniel and Jenni discuss the difference between criticism and feedback; why he might be blocked, and how to feel permission and space to name what he wants. It's validating to pleasure your partner for your self-worth, but not at the expense of your own needs and wants. Daniel describes the irony of how being silent about your needs is actually more selfish than speaking up for them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This summer, we've answered the most common questions that we receive as relationship and sex therapists. And this week, we answer one of the most common questions: Does body count actually count?   We live in a culture that views your sexuality based on how often you access it. Men who are deemed to have accessed sexuality a lot are viewed as "studs". Women are simultaneously valued and devalued based on how often they have sex. In Evangelical systems, folks who have sex before they get married are sinners.   There are tons of psychological and relational problems that develop from this question, even as many of us are unlearning the myth that our value is tied to how sexual we are or are not. We talk with Natasha Helfer (@natashahelfermft on Instagram), certified sex therapist and one of the premier relationship therapists for post-Mormon folks, about how we can ask better questions. Check out our conversations about: Redefining sex and sexuality Practicing equity in our relationships and sexuality How high control religion establishes negative expectations for relationships How relationships can be a primary space for deconstruction What you can expect from a quality relationship therapist.

In this powerful episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristin Sunanta Walker sits down with Candice Christiansen (she/they)—licensed clinical mental health counselor, autistic ADHD adult, and founder of the Namasté Center for Healing—to explore the complex terrain of neurodivergent intimacy, betrayal trauma, sensory sex, and emotional reclamation.

This is not your typical conversation about relationships—this is soul-deep, nuance-rich, and paradigm-shifting.

Episode Notes In July of 2025, I officially started my private practice, My Intimacy Therapist, in Atlanta, Georgia for sex therapy and intimacy issues. I created this space for those who are struggling with: anxiety and control low or high sex drive (compared to their significant other) trouble getting "in the mood" due to pain during sex communication that gets you stuck in cycles of blow ups or shut downs generational patterns that you will be the first to break overwhelmingly busy lives that suffocate sex and intimacy If you can relate, welcome. Podcast topics will continue to cover these themes - but of course, the My Intimacy Therapist Podcast does not serve as therapeutic advice or relationship. If you would like to take these "food for thought" episodes a bit further, I invite you to visit my website myintimacytherapist.com and/or schedule a 15-minute phone consultation here.

In this episode, I sit down with Niki Davis-Fainbloom (aka Miss Bloom), a non-monogamy pleasure and fetish coach, to explore the world of fetishes, kinks, and how our culture shapes desire. Nikki shares her research from hundreds of interviews with people who hold “uncommon” desires, and breaks down the difference between kinks and fetishes, the origins of certain turn-ons, and how to talk about these vulnerable topics with a partner. From the neuroscience of foot fetishes to the playful roleplay of vor (the desire to be “swallowed”), this conversation is packed with insights, humor, and permission to embrace who you truly are in the bedroom.Whether you're curious about your own desires, wanting to spark intimacy with a long-term partner, or simply fascinated by human sexuality, this episode will leave you with tools to open conversations and normalize what society often stigmatizes.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome & Introduction to Miss Bloom01:05 – What is a fetish?

In this episode, we're diving into a powerful idea I recently heard on the Sex Therapy 101 podcast - a conversation between Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers and my friend Dr. Cami Hurst. Dr. Sellers shared a thought-provoking insight about the difference between sex drive and sexual desire. It's something we've touched on before, but today I want to give it the attention it deserves. This is one of the most misunderstood concepts in marriage, and I truly believe that understanding this difference might just revolutionize your relationship. Let's unpack it together.

In this episode, Dr. Sophia takes us on a deep and compassionate dive into the real world of sex therapy—what it is, what it definitely isn't, and why it's so important for individuals and couples alike.

It may be a little taboo to talk about it, but there are a lot of people out there who, for a variety of reasons, don't have as much sex as they would like, or arguably need. And there's actually a form of therapy out there which is specifically designed to help people become more comfortable with sex and intimacy. The idea of sex surrogacy started catching on in Europe in the 2000s, and these days it's actually regulated and even covered by social security in some countries, like Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands. Still, in many places it's a legal grey area, and raises a number of ethical questions to boot. For example it became a subject of debate in France in 2013, when a proposal was put forward to cover sex surrogacy expenses for disabled people. Why would someone need to use the services of a sex surrogate? What's the difference between a sex surrogate and a sex worker? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠ ⁠Why were the queen's bees told of her death?⁠ ⁠Do I have poor blood circulation?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

She believes healing begins in what “the innermost cave”—a place where one meets their greatest obstacles and finds the tools for deep transformation. “Being in the cave means you're daring to live with your loss,” she says. “It's where the shadows of grief, mourning, and the traumatic imprint reveal themselves. And given the chance, it will transform you.” This is the heart of her work: not just surviving grief, but partnering with it, dancing with it, and emerging changed. Edy is the author of It's Grief: The Dance of Self-Discovery through Trauma and Loss, and is currently writing her second book, Dare to Live: The Sexual Grief Effect — Reveal the Shadow Wounds from Loathing to Liberation to Love.

Core purpose/passion: I believe healing begins in what I call “the innermost cave”—a place where one meets their greatest obstacles and finds the tools for deep transformation. Being in the cave means you're daring to live with your loss, It's where the shadows of grief, mourning, and the traumatic imprint reveal themselves. And given the chance, it will transform you.

This week on The She Said It First Podcast, Jerrilyn Lake aka Indeskribeabull and Lynee’ Monae discusses various topics, but before they get into that, they tell the fans What Irritated Them this week. Lynee talks about how she does not like non-funny people at all. Like why you cannot laugh at all. This week, Jerrilyn and Lynee have a special guest, sex therapist and intimacy coordinator Zuri Pryor-Graves joins She Said It First this week. Before Zuri talked about what it means to be an intimacy coordinator, they talked about What Happened. They spoke about to the controversy surrounding Nelly and Ashanti and people calling Ashanti a single married mother. Nelly told Ashanti on their new reality show “We Belong Together,” that he was not going to take care of their baby until he can walk and talk but he would provide as many resources as possible for her. They talk about if they would be willing to do that for a man who is rich. They also spoke about what they would do if they had a rich partner that wanted to take care of them and treated them right. Would they be okay with that. During Girl Talk, Jerrilyn and Lynee got some advice from Zuri about the bedroom. They spoke about being able to tell your partner what you like in the bedroom. What is the best way to handle a situation like that. Jerrilyn then spoke to Zuri Pryor-Graves about her jobs as a sex therapist and intimacy coordinator. Zuri speaks about how she got into the business and what is the importance on having an intimacy coordinator on a television and film set. They also spoke about the obsession with “Love Island” and them kissing all of the damn time.

Ever feel disconnected from your partner… but not sure how to fix it?You're not alone. Between mismatched desire, mental load, body image struggles, and awkward communication, intimacy often becomes one more thing on your to-do list, instead of a source of connection.In this episode, I'm joined by Vanessa and Xander Marin—licensed sex therapist and bestselling author duo behind Sex Talks and the Pillow Talks podcast. We're breaking down the silent issues that show up in long-term relationships and how to reconnect (without relying on spontaneous desire or unrealistic expectations).We're talking about what's actually behind low libido (hint: it's not just hormones or sex drive), how to reduce the mental load so you can feel more connected, and why “scheduled sex” isn't boring, it's powerful. Vanessa Marin is a licensed sex therapist with 20+ years of experience and Xander Marin is her husband, co-author, and brings the real-life partner perspective that makes these conversations feel refreshingly honest, relatable, and actionable.We Also Discuss:08:26 – Why we need to talk about sex way more openly13:44 – The 5 conversations every couple should have about sex18:32 – The truth about “how often” you should be having sex26:23 – Why desire doesn't just happen—and what to focus on instead32:42 – How mental load kills intimacy (and what to do about it)40:00 – The surprising link between body image and your sex life47:12 – What the “bristle reaction” is—and how to fix it54:04 – The most underrated forms of foreplay (hint: it's not lingerie)Thank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Broads gives you structured, progressive training and a powerhouse community to keep you strong, consistent, and unstoppable.
