Podcasts about sexual pleasure

Wives, Pleasure Is An Important Part of Life (Really!) If you're a wife who feels like physical intimacy just isn't for you... this post is for you. Maybe you've been hurt in the past. Maybe sex feels awkward, or painful, or even meaningless. Maybe it seems like something only he wants, and you just go along with it. If any of that resonates, I want you to know: you're not broken. You're not alone. And there is hope. When Sex Feels Disappointing or Painful in Marriage When I first got married, I was so excited. I had saved myself for marriage and imagined physical intimacy would be beautiful and bonding. But what I experienced instead was disappointment. It was physically painful, emotionally awkward, and deeply confusing. I felt ashamed, fat, insecure, and unprepared. My marriage at that time eventually ended in divorce. There was no biblical reason—I just couldn't take the strife and anxiety anymore. I was devastated. I had followed what I believed was the right path, and yet my marriage still crumbled. And then, I drifted. I walked away from God's design, from purity, and into promiscuity. But God is a Redeemer. In time, He gently brought me back. I met a kind, respectful man, and with him, God showed me what healthy, healing intimacy could look like. And it has been a journey—one filled with slow growth, freedom, and true pleasure. Understanding God's Design for Sexual Pleasure in Marriage Let's be honest—many wives could take or leave sex. Some even hate it. And yet, God designed physical intimacy to be good—not just for your husband, but for you. You may have grown up in purity culture, where sex was labeled “bad,” “shameful,” or “off-limits.” Then suddenly, you get married and are expected to flip a switch and enjoy it. That's confusing, to say the least! But what if we started thinking of pleasure the way God does? What if we saw it as a gift? You enjoy a clean house, right? You feel at peace, relaxed, energized. That's pleasure. So why is it so hard to believe that sexual pleasure could be just as valid, just as worthy, just as holy? Why Christian Wives Should Value Pleasure in Intimacy God didn't create intimacy only for reproduction or duty. He created it for joy, connection, healing, and pleasure. Even Song of Solomon celebrates sensuality—touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound. Pleasure is part of God's design. It doesn't have to end in orgasm or even intercourse to be sacred. A simple act like cuddling, stripping down just to rest in your husband's arms, or a gentle caress can be deeply meaningful. An moment where you focus on intimacy without the pressure of a “goal.” It's healing. It's freeing. How to Begin Enjoying Intimacy Again—Even If You Feel Broken You don't have to leap from disinterest to passion overnight. What if you started with just an inch in the direction of intimacy? A kiss. A caress. A flirty smile. That's it. Then maybe next time, a little more. Intimacy doesn't have to be all or nothing. It's a dance. A progression. A fluid rhythm between two people who are learning how to love and be loved. Biblical Boundaries for Sex—and the Freedom Within Them I've seen it time and again—wives who once hated sex now pursue it with confidence and joy. Not because they've become someone they're not, but because they've allowed God to rewrite their story. You don't have to live stuck in shame, apathy, or duty. You were made for more. You were made for joy. You were made to receive pleasure—and not just physical pleasure, but the peace and playfulness that come from deep connection. You can laugh, relax, and actually look forward to physical intimacy. Even if you're post-menopausal. Even if you've been through trauma. Even if you feel like you're the one who's “just not into it.” God can change it. He's done it in me. He's done it in hundreds of wives I've coached. And He can do it in you.   With love & hope,   The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - For more information on the Connection Sessions mentioned in the podcast, check out Delight Your Marriage: Connection Sessions.

PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "So much of my prayer time was trying to pray for my hubs and me and us in our marriage and lamenting over the state of our marriage...it was so hard for me to engage in intimacy with my husband...Most times I just had to turn off my heart and pray and power through, which only served to make me even more avoidant of it...[Now,] I don't feel like I need a brick wall to protect my heart from my husband...Intimacy feels like a safe place...It's not intimacy's 'for him', it's ALWAYS intimacy for 'us'."

Your body is a complex machine, and sometimes it's more intricate than we realize. Take the pelvic floor, for example. It's a group of muscles that help control the urethra (to hold in urine) and the anus (to hold in gas and stool).  A stronger pelvic floor can enhance intimacy. For women, it can increase sensations and comfort. For men, it provides better control over performance. What exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor? Why should I care about my pelvic floor?

Full, Brazilian, landing strip or none at all, pubic hair removal can hide multiple motivations (often driven by societal expectations). While aesthetics tops the list, 56% of men and 45% of women groom their pubic hair with oral sex in mind. But there's a rumor going around: removing pubic hair could increase sexual pleasure. In 2021, an Ifop survey on hair removal practices in France, conducted for the Charles.co platform, showed that full hair removal has been steadily increasing since 2013: 14% in October 2013, compared to 24% in January 2021. Is this the result of social pressure or proof that sex is better without hair? Does removing pubic hair really increase sensation? Does it have the same effect for women and men? Are there precautions to take when shaving or waxing the pubic area? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Many women struggle to discuss their sexual health and pleasure with their providers, friends, and family members. And for good reason. They're sensitive topics to bring up. Women are navigating various physiological changes during the menopause transition (weight gain, hair loss, insomnia), and to further complicate things, changes are happening in their vagina and vulva - not exactly coffee talk topics. Or are they? Midlife women need to normalize our sexual health and pleasure so that we can improve our sex lives for the next 30-40 years. After all, we will be postmenopausal women until the day we die. A healthy sex life is part of our longevity equation.In this episode, we delve into the impact of hormones, particularly testosterone, on libido during midlife and beyond. Additionally, we'll explore somewhat controversial topics, such as vaginal rejuvenation therapies, and cosmetic gynocologic procedures, their benefits, and how they enhance comfort, confidence, and intimacy. Plus, we'll discuss tools like vibrators and other strategies to reignite passion and connection.My guest today is Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, and menopause specialist with an academic affiliation at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. She is the founder of the Center for Gynecology and Cosmetics, a successful practice that emphasizes evidence-based medicine. Dr. Rahman is dedicated to evaluating and treating each patient with compassion, trauma-informed care, and an awareness of personal bias. Additionally, she hosts the podcast Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones and is working on a book exploring sexual function from the lens of different cultures, norms, and religions.

MENOPAUSAL HORMONE THERAPY, Part 2, with Dr. Rebecka Hoppins, ND, March 18, 2025   There is a large body of accumulated scientific research to support the thesis that Sexual Pleasure and Health are inextricably linked!   In Part 2, Dr. Becky, a Naturopathic Physician, and Dr. Diana a Sex Therapist, continued their conversation from January 28th. In Part 1, menopause myths were debunked, and menopausal women with low libido were offered some solutions.   Dr. Diana asked Dr. Becky How do you optimize a woman's sexual health with the techniques of natural medicine?   Dr. Becky takes a broad, naturalistic, evolutionary overview of sex. She reminds us that in nature, sex is for reproduction, the survival of species. So broadly speaking, it makes sense that our bodies are wired to like it. Of course, that's not the case for everyone – especially for many perimenopausal and menopausal women. She advises that when we feel healthy, balanced, safe and have resources, this is a good environment for offspring to survive/thrive. If we are stressed, malnourished, unsafe, etc., hormones shift to survival mode. Then the woman's body is favoring the production of cortisol and adrenaline at the cost of the sex hormones progesterone, estrogen, DHEA, and testosterone. Fascinating fact: we literally make cortisol out of progesterone. What happens to highly stressed pregnant women? They are at a higher risk of miscarriage. After all, their progesterone is supposed to maintain the placenta and firmly hold the baby in the uterus, and this declines when cortisol goes up.   Stress may affect women even more when their sex/reproductive hormones decline. Blood flow diminishes. Vaginal health is often a problem, etc.   What does Dr. Becky look at? She addresses fatigue (adrenal function and other medical causes­), blood sugar/nutrition, physical causes of anxiety, and sleep health – to name just a few.      The fascinating case of “Rachel”: her negative body image and her weight had led to obsessive negative self-talk. Dr. Becky's Sage Clinic administers the GLP-1 (weight-loss) injections. Rachel's mind became quiet – the chatter had stopped – as soon as it took effect!   There is so much more information in this podcast: Polarity Theory, the partnership environment, vasopressin vs oxytocin, inherited behaviors, sex demands from the male partner, narcissism and more!   You have to claim great sex, again and again, over the course of your life. It won't grow and blossom without your long-term commitment. You need good information, the kind you will find in this podcast. Great sex is a natural outgrowth of great health, and the two flourish in tandem!  If you have problems in either realm, seek out the help of Dr. Becky Hoppins at the Sage Integrative Medical Clinic in Edmonds, WA. She is brilliant, well informed, and approachable. Listen to both shows and you will be convinced!

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.

In this lively conversation Jessie Fresh, Erotic Blueprint Coach and Intimacy Educator, shares with Erica Leroye the concept of The Erotic Blueprints, a template of 5 archetypal turn on styles, that are a helpful roadmap to expanding a sense of “who am I and what am I like” with a special focus on connection and arousal styles. Sharing examples and insights from their collective years of working with men and couples they explore: The 5 Erotic Blueprints- The Energetic, The Sensual, The Sexual, The Kinky, and The Shapeshifter, and keys for figuring out what your style may be and how to thrive once you know.
