Intimacy Without Shame: Desire, Communication & Sexual Wellness with Shruti LakhotiaIntimacy is an important part of wellbeing, yet conversations around desire, pleasure and sexuality are still shaped by silence, shame, social conditioning and unrealistic expectations.In this episode of 4 Questions with Luke Coutinho, Luke sits down with Shruti Lakhotia, Intimacy and Self-Love Empowerment Coach, for an open and honest conversation about intimacy, desire, self-exploration, relationships and communication.What does intimacy really mean beyond sexual performance? Why do many women find it difficult to communicate what gives them pleasure? How do attraction, past experiences and social conditioning influence the way we experience desire? And how can couples become more comfortable talking about their needs, boundaries and preferences?Luke and Shruti also explore sexual compatibility, libido, initiation, sex toys, self-awareness, attraction and the role of communication in creating deeper intimacy.Rather than prescribing what intimacy should look like, this conversation encourages greater awareness, education and honesty—so individuals and couples can understand themselves and each other better.In this episode, we discuss:00:00 Introduction00:57 Communication & Pleasure04:32 Intimacy Beyond Performance09:00 What Drives Attraction?14:30 The Role of Sex Toys21:10 Initiation & Sexual CompatibilityIntimacy is not just about physical closeness. It can also involve trust, emotional safety, communication, self-awareness and the ability to express what we need.This is a conversation about intimacy without shame, relationships without assumptions, and understanding ourselves with greater honesty and empathy.

What if pleasure wasn't something you had to earn, save for, or reserve for special occasions, but something you could intentionally build into your everyday life? In this episode of Sex and the Psyche, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz are joined spontaneously by producer Kim Kaplan for a conversation about the role of pleasure in our physical, emotional, and sexual well-being. They explore the surprising connection between exercise, relaxation, stress, and sexual desire and why there may not be one universal path to getting into the right state for intimacy. Sometimes movement and energy help us feel more alive and connected to our bodies. Other times, what we need is a ritual that helps us slow down, let go of the day's stress, and create enough space for pleasure to emerge. The conversation then takes a bigger turn: In a world where we track our sleep, steps, food, finances, and productivity, why don't we pay more attention to pleasure? Jenni, Daniel, and Kim explore the idea of a “pleasure tracker” and what it might look like to notice the small moments that make us feel good- from a warm cup of coffee or sunshine on your face to a great workout, time in nature, a cuddle, a shared meal, or sexual connection. They also unpack the difference between pleasure, intensity, and indulgence, and why chasing bigger or more intense experiences doesn't necessarily create more pleasure. True pleasure can be quiet, subtle, relational, sensory, and deeply connected to being present in the moment. And then comes the metaphor at the heart of the episode: the pleasure piggybank. Jenni describes how those small moments of pleasure are like deposits. When we regularly allow ourselves to experience pleasure throughout the day, we may arrive at intimacy with more abundance rather than feeling depleted or disconnected from our own needs. Because sexual pleasure doesn't necessarily begin in the bedroom. It can begin with learning to notice what feels good, asking for what you want, creating boundaries around your time, and giving yourself permission to experience pleasure in everyday life. You don't need a big moment every time. The pennies and nickels count, too. So what are you putting into your pleasure piggybank today?

Mary Ellen explains why leakage when you laugh, sneeze, exercise, or cough should not simply be dismissed as “one of those things” that happens after childbirth or menopause.We also explore the connection between the pelvic floor and sexual pleasure, including why some women experience weaker orgasms or reduced sensation as their pelvic floor changes. And importantly, we discuss why relaxation matters just as much as contraction when it comes to pelvic floor function and intimacy.MaryEllen explains how the Yarlap device is designed to support pelvic floor training, why Kegel exercises are not necessarily suitable for everyone, and why it's important to understand whether your pelvic floor is weak, tight, or both.Most importantly, this episode is about replacing embarrassment with information. Whether you're dealing with bladder leakage, painful sex, reduced sexual sensation, or simply want to take better care of your body, it is never too late to start paying attention to your pelvic floor.Key Takeaways- Urinary incontinence is common, but it is not an inevitable part of aging.- Everyone has a pelvic floor, and it supports both physical and sexual health.- A weak pelvic floor may affect bladder control, posture, back pain, knee pain, and orgasmic sensation.- A pelvic floor that is too tight may also cause pain and discomfort.- Strengthening and relaxation are both essential for healthy pelvic floor function.- Pelvic floor health can affect confidence, dating, intimacy, and sexual pleasure.- It is never too late to ask a doctor about your pelvic floor.About MaryEllen ReiderMaryEllen Reider is the co-director of Yarlap®, the wellness device to treat urinary incontinence and improve feminine performance and experience through muscle control. MaryEllen spends a lot of time researching and finding out what's new in the pelvic floor world and the social media realm.About SuzanneSuzanne Noble is a sex and relationship expert, author, and host of Sex Advice for Seniors, a podcast about sex, intimacy, pleasure, and relationships in later life.Through her podcast, newsletter, and community, Suzanne challenges the idea that sex has an expiry date and encourages people to stay curious about their bodies and sexual wellbeing at every age.Connect With SuzanneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexadviceforseniorsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sexadviceforseniorsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sexadviceforseniorsSubstack: https://sexadviceforseniors.comConnect with MaryEllenWebsite https://yarlap.com/Instagram @yarlap_otc https://www.instagram.com/yarlap_otc/TikTok @yarlap_otc https://www.tiktok.com/@yarlap_otcYouTube @yarlap_otcFacebook https://www.facebook.com/yarlapwautokegelWant More?Visit the Website: https://sexadviceforseniors.com — includes FREE guides and resources for better sex at any age.Free Downloadable Guide: 10 Most Overlooked Secrets to Better Sex PDF: https://subscribepage.io/suzannenoblefreebieSign Up for My FREE Newsletter: https://sexadviceforseniors.comOvercome Erectile Dysfunction & Stay Firm: https://www.stayfirmprogram.comCheck Out My Storefront for Better Sex: https://zaap.bio/stayfirmInterested in 1:1 Coaching or Custom Sex Advice for Seniors Sessions? https://tidycal.com/suzannenoble/30-minute-mentoringRelated EpisodesWhy Women Feel Completely Different After Menopause | Tanya Leake https://www.sexadviceforseniors.com/p/why-women-feel-completely-different?triedRedirect=trueWhy Women Lose Their Libido (And How to Get It Back) | Pauline Ryeland https://open.substack.com/pub/sexadviceforseniors/p/pauline-ryeland This is a public episode.

Is 10 Seconds of Oral Sex Still a Blowjob? How much time does it take for oral sex to “count”? Ten seconds? Thirty seconds? Does there have to be an orgasm, ejaculation, or even an erection? In this episode of Sex and the Psyche, Daniel and Dr. Jenni Skyler tackle a surprisingly complicated question sparked by a very real-life sexual experience and introduce a phrase we’re pretty sure you won’t forget: the “Cock Kiss.” They explore why there’s no universal stopwatch for good sex, how intention and attention can matter more than duration, and why the exact same sexual experience can feel satisfying to one person and completely unfinished to another. They also get into rapid ejaculation, orgasming without an erection, difficulty ejaculating while still enjoying stimulation, and how medications, age, health history, excitement, and infrequent sex can all affect what happens in the bedroom. Most importantly, the conversation raises a bigger question: How do you communicate with your partner when your definition of “that was enough” isn't the same as theirs? Because when it comes to sex, sometimes it's not about how long it lasted… it's about what happened while you were there. And yes- sometimes it really is just a cock kiss.

Some conversations stay with you long after you hit stop recording.This is one of those conversations for me.I'm bringing back my interview with Susan Bratton, and I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of my favorite interviews I've ever done.Susan is a sex educator, author, and longtime consensually non-monogamous person who is incredibly passionate about helping people have more pleasure, better communication, and satisfying sex throughout their lives.And she has a LOT to say.We talk about her life with her husband and boyfriend, what it looks like to build a family around honesty and connection, and why being fully expressed in your relationships can be so damn freeing.But we also get into something I think so many of us need to hear:Your sex life doesn't have to get smaller as you get older.You can keep learning.You can discover new kinds of pleasure.You can get better at asking for what you want.And you can stop treating intercourse as the only thing that counts as sex.Susan shares her approach to arousal, why she has certain non-negotiables around her own pleasure, and how understanding what your body needs can change the entire experience.We also talk about sexual wellness as we age, including hormones, changes in genital tissue, and some of the treatments and products Susan has explored personally and professionally.And then we get into a conversation I really don't want you to miss: STI testing, herpes disclosure, and how we can create more honest, less shame-filled conversations about sexual safety.Susan shares her own experience living with herpes, and we respond to a listener who is struggling with disclosure and feeling rejected by their community.I love this part of the conversation because it gets right to the heart of what ethical non-monogamy asks of us.Not pretending there's no risk.Not shaming people for having an STI.But learning how to talk about our health, our boundaries, and our choices so everyone has the information they need to make decisions for themselves.In this episode, we talk about:Susan's decades of experience with consensual non-monogamyHer relationship with her husband and boyfriendBuilding a family around honesty and authentic self-expressionWhy sex can get better as we ageExpanding our definition of sex beyond intercourseUnderstanding arousal and communicating what your body needsSusan's bedroom non-negotiablesPleasure, body image, and getting out of your headSexual wellness and changes that can come with agingHormones, regenerative treatments, and Susan's personal experiencesSTI testing and sexual safety conversationsHerpes disclosure without shameWhy “clean” and “dirty” aren't helpful ways to talk about STI statusMaking informed choices about sexual riskHow sex-positive communities can do better at supporting people through difficult conversationsThis episode is full of curiosity, laughter, and the kind of candid conversation that makes me remember exactly why I started this podcast.Because we deserve to talk about sex like it's a normal, important, pleasurable part of being human.And we deserve to keep learning about it.Enjoy this Rewind with Susan Bratton.Note: This is an archival conversation.

The Department of Defense made headlines when it announced plans to test testosterone levels in active military members. The debate that followed was loud, political, and almost entirely missed the point. Jenni and Daniel are not interested in the political conversation. They are interested in the clinical one, and in this episode they take a current news story and do what they do best: strip away the noise and get to what actually matters. They start with the basics. Testosterone is not simply a marker of masculinity- it is a marker of health. Vitality. Mood. Cognitive clarity. The capacity to make good decisions under pressure. Too high creates its own problems. Too low, which is far more common, particularly in high-stress, sleep-deprived environments like military service, produces depression, fatigue, irritability, and a creeping sense that something is fundamentally off. Daniel's phrase for it, borrowed from their recent conversation with Dr. Rachel Rubin, says it precisely: I don't feel like myself. But the number alone tells you almost nothing. A reading of 450 might have one man feeling like he's on top of the world and another quietly falling apart. Context matters. Individual baseline matters. And the systems surrounding that number- sleep, stress, relationships, mental health, nutrition and physical strength matter as much as the hormone itself. Testing testosterone without addressing those systems is, as Daniel puts it, throwing a pill at a very complex situation. Jenni brings women into the conversation and makes the case that hormonal testing is not a male-only issue. She shares her own experience discovering her testosterone was in the basement despite being a muscular, physically active person, and explains why estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone together form the constellation that optimizes women's physical, sexual, and mental health. She makes the point that neither testosterone nor estrogen belongs exclusively to one gender- men need estrogen, women need testosterone, and balance is individual, not categorical. Daniel ties it back to the bio-psychosocial model- the framework that Jenni and Daniel have built their entire clinical practice around. You can test the biology. But if the psychology is suffering (anxiety, depression, unprocessed trauma) and the social dimension is broken, (relationships in conflict, connection absent isolation growing), the biology will follow. Each system pulls on the others. Fix the sleep and the testosterone improves. Improve the testosterone and the irritability decreases. Decrease the irritability and the relationship gets better. The relationship getting better reduces stress. The stress reduction improves sleep. You pull one string and it moves another one. They close with the thing that surprises most people when they say it out loud: the antidote to stress is connection. Not a supplement. Not a number. Not a protocol. The ratio of connection to disconnection in your life is one of the most powerful health metrics available- and it's the one almost nobody tracks. This episode is for veterans and first responders. It's for anyone who has wondered why they don't feel like themselves. It's for women who have never been told to test their testosterone. It's for men who didn't know that low testosterone looks like depression. And it's for anyone who has been waiting for someone to say that their relationships, their sleep, their stress load, and their hormones are not separate conversations- they are one conversation, and it starts here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

High-achieving men often bring their boardroom skills into the bedroom — and it's destroying their relationships. In this episode, David Chambers sits down with Sean Forde Kelly to unpack why successful men struggle with intimacy, how male shame shuts down desire, and what it actually takes to build sexual confidence. Discover why society reduces male pleasure to something basic, how emotional suppression creates disconnection, and the practical steps to become more present, curious, and authentic in your intimate relationships. If you're a man in your 30s or 40s feeling stuck in repeating patterns, this conversation will change how you think about sex, intimacy, and what women actually need from you.   Seán Forde Kelly grew up on a council estate in Manchester. He went on to earn a Masters in Financial Economics, built his first business in 2015, and spent years in the corporate world. Then he started asking different questions and found the work that actually mattered. He now works privately with Founders and CEOs on leadership, impact and relationships — from boardroom to bedroom. Seán is also the Founder of Come What May, a non-profit Sexual Wellness community that has hosted 200+ free events globally since 2022, facilitating thousands of conversations people never thought they could have.

Most people give up too easily and the people around you, the Reddit threads venting, the "this is just normal" advice from doctors and therapists, are actually reinforcing the belief that you're stuck (when you are not!). In this episode, I break down why so much performance anxiety, ED, PE, and delayed ejaculation comes down to one thing: a lack of self-trust.I share the moment climbing Mount Shasta that taught me what trust actually means, how I let go of "I'm an anxious person" as an identity, and why the language you use with yourself is either working for you or against you. You'll hear real client stories, plus the mindset shift that changes everything: you trained yourself into anxiety, which means you can train yourself into trust.If you're tired of being in your head, outsourcing your power, and letting the "What-if" thoughts control your sex life, this one's for you!Ronan App is now live on the App Store.

In this bonus episode of the Please Me Podcast, Eve sits down with Robert Johnson from Shameless Care to explore women's sexuality, low sexual desire, female arousal, and the science behind sexual wellness. Together, they discuss new approaches to supporting women's sexual health, including a medication option featuring tadalafil, oxytocin, and apomorphine. Robert explains how tadalafil may support physical arousal through blood flow, how oxytocin is associated with connection and bonding, and how apomorphine works with brain pathways involved in arousal and desire. Eve and Robert explore the relationship between the brain, body, intimacy, and sexuality—opening up an important conversation about women's libido, desire, sexual confidence, and the many factors that influence arousal. This episode is an educational conversation about women's sexual wellness and emerging treatment options. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider to determine what options may be appropriate for you.

Porn can be “occasional” and still run your life. If you've ever said “I'll stop” and then found yourself right back in the same loop, this conversation puts language to what's happening and gives you a grounded path forward.We're joined by GT Tan, a mental and sexual wellness coach and executive reboot strategist, to talk about porn addiction recovery in a way that goes beyond shame and willpower. We unpack what addiction really means when frequency varies, why porn is often a symptom of something deeper, and how stress, anxiety, loneliness, and unresolved pain can turn porn into a default coping tool. GT also explains porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED), including how ED can show up as partial or inconsistent erections, and why it matters to look at the full picture, from relationship dynamics to bloodwork, hormones, sleep, and diet.From there we get practical: identifying triggers, setting boundaries in a culture where sexual content is everywhere, and building long-term sobriety rather than short-term abstinence. We also touch on dating and intimacy, including why authenticity matters and why rejection can be a major relapse trigger if you don't have a solid foundation first.If you want a healthier relationship with sex, confidence, and connection, listen through and then subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.Send us Fan Mail Support the showThanks for listening!Check out this site for everthing to know about women's pleasure including video tutorials and great suggestions for bedroom time!!https://for-goodness-sake-omgyes.sjv.io/c/5059274/1463336/17315Take the happiness quiz from Oprah and Arthur Brooks here: https://arthurbrooks.com/buildNEW: Subscribe monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805181/support Email  questions/comments/feeback to tamara@straightfromthesourcesmouth.co Website: https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/Instagram: @fromthesourcesmouth_franktalkTwitter: @tamarapodcastYouTube and IG: Tamara_Schoon_comicWant to be a guest on Straight from the Source's Mouth: Frank Talk about Sex and Dating?

How do we communicate our needs in a way that doesn't feel like criticism? Welcome to today's ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from an episode that you might have missed.  Expressing our true desires, communicating what actually makes us feel good or safe, and dialling into our preferences and needs can be vulnerable territory with a partner... but it's a powerful path to intimacy when done with care. So we're throwing it back to this masterclass in feedback, communication, and relating more intimately with Darshana Avila.  Darshana is a trauma-informed somatic sex educator and Erotic Wholeness coach who has dedicated her career to helping people tune in to their truth, desires, and authentic relationships. Her work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, and she's spent over a decade guiding people out of the cultural patterns that keep them stuck.

If you are on hormone replacement therapy and still dealing with vaginal dryness, pain with sex, or recurring UTIs — you are not failing your treatment. Your tissue is telling you it needs something more.In this episode, Dr. Durst and Farideh, break down exactly why hormones alone sometimes aren't enough to restore vaginal tissue health — and what local regenerative treatments can do that systemic estrogen simply cannot. If you have been told there are no solutions, this episode will change that

Jeff Abraham didn't set out to build a sexual wellness company. He was a semiconductor engineer from a coal mining town in Pennsylvania who sold his business, retired, and got a call from his neighbor, Dr. Ronald Gilbert, the urologist who invented Promescent's delay spray. One conversation, one product sample, and one phone call later, Jeff was all in. What followed was fifteen years of building one of the most respected sexual wellness brands in the world with over 5 million bottles sold, more than 4,000 healthcare professionals recommending the product, and a mission that Jeff describes simply as helping people. Along the way, he lost his closest friend to an act of senseless violence. And he decided the best thing he could do with that grief was give Dr. Gilbert the legacy he deserved. In this episode, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with Jeff for one of the most candid and practically useful conversations about male sexual functioning you'll find anywhere. They dig into the clinical reality of premature ejaculation, the difference between clinical PE and the much larger group of men who simply want better intimacy. Why 75% of women don't orgasm from intercourse alone, and what that means for couples. Why men who struggle with PE often stop initiating sex entirely, and the spiral that follows. How shame, not physiology, is usually the most dangerous factor in the room. And why Jeff's answer to "what's the best thing you can do for better intimacy?" is still, always, communication. They also talk about the rise of male masturbatory devices, why younger men are increasingly choosing not to pursue partners at all, the engineering logic behind Promescent's patented eutectic formula, and how to "put one in the bank" before intercourse if anxiety is running the show. This is a conversation for men who have quietly stepped back from intimacy because of shame and for the partners who don't understand why. Jeff is warm, irreverent, deeply informed, and completely unafraid to say the thing most people in this space are dancing around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you have ever felt like traditional medicine had nothing real to offer you when it came to hormones, aging, or your sex life — this episode is going to change the way you think about what is actually possible. Dr. Debra Durst sits down with Dr. Amy Killen, a former acute care physician turned regenerative medicine and longevity specialist, to talk about the massive gap in women's healthcare and exactly what evidence-based tools are available right now to fill it. From bioidentical hormone therapy and the recent lifting of FDA black box warnings, to full body stem cell makeovers and the concept of the Queen Phase — this is the conversation midlife women have been waiting for.

What if your sex life was one of the most powerful drivers of longevity?In this episode, Dr. Tracey Steady Hardcastle is joined by intimacy expert Susan Bratton to explore the science-backed connection between sex and longevity, and why she calls it the missing pillar of health.Together, they unpack the concept of ageless intimacy - how pleasure, connection, and “orgasmic intimacy” support everything from blood flow and hormones to nervous system regulation and emotional resilience.This conversation reframes intimacy not as a luxury, but as a biological necessity for living a longer, healthier, and more vibrant life.If you wish to learn more from Susan Bratton, you may do so through the following channels:Visit betterlover.com to subscribe to Susan's newsletter and connect directly with her with your questions and concerns.Try out Susan's Nitric Oxide supplement at getflowfree.com (free 30-day supply)______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

What if the biggest barrier to better sex isn’t your body, your partner, or your libido, but the shame and silence surrounding it? In this episode, Dr Mariam sits down with Australia’s go-to sexologist, Chantelle Otten, for a candid, practical and deeply reassuring conversation about sex, intimacy and why so many of us are still too embarrassed to talk about what’s happening in the bedroom. From mismatched libidos and postpartum desire dips to painful sex, vaginismus and the mental load that can kill the mood before anyone even makes it to bed, Chantelle explains why great sex isn’t about performance, it’s about curiosity, communication and giving yourself permission to change the rules. Plus, she answers your anonymous listener questions: Why can you orgasm alone but not with a partner? Is it normal to lose all desire after kids?

As part of the 2026 UCSF Patient Conference on Prostate Cancer, Dr. Benjamin Breyer discusses sexual wellness. Series: "Prostate Cancer Patient Conference" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 41537]

Why does sex sometimes feel like a chore or worse, a pain? And does your GP really care what your "down there" looks like during a pap smear? In this episode, Claire Murphy and Dr. Mariam dive deep into the complexities of sexual health and pelvic wellness. They are joined by sexual medicine consultant Dr. Karen Freilich to break down the science of dyspareunia (painful intercourse). From the "Car Alarm" theory of pain to the "Accelerator and Brake" model of desire, we explore why your body might be tensing up and how to hit the reset button. Plus, in Med School, we tackle a viral TikTok myth: Is women's saliva more acidic than men's, and does that mean we're doomed to more cavities?

She used to want it. Now she doesn't. And you're not sure if it's you, the kids, the stress — or something that's quietly shifted inside her.A lot of the time, it's her hormones. Specifically, perimenopause or menopause.Here's what most people don't know: perimenopause doesn't start at 45 years old. Dr. Debra Durst — an MD who left traditional medicine to specialize in hormone optimization and sexual wellness — is seeing it in women in their 30s, and sometimes even their 20s.And the first hormones to drop aren't estrogen -- they're progesterone and testosterone. Which means your partner may be dealing with sleep disruption, anxiety, a shorter fuse, brain fog, low libido, and body composition changes — while her doctor keeps saying her labs look "normal."Here, Dr. Durst breaks down what perimenopause actually is (it can last a decade or more), why most gynecologists aren't trained to address it, and what comprehensive hormone optimization actually looks like. We get into why testosterone is, surprisingly, the most abundant hormone circulating in a woman's body — and what happens to a couple's sex life when it's properly restored (hint: sometimes you're back to doing it twice a day!).Plus, we talk about solutions to dryness. There are now cutting-edge tissue regeneration treatments — laser rejuvenation and PRP O-Shots — that can bring arousal, sensitivity, and orgasmic strength back after menopause causes physical changes. And we talk about why Dr. Durst's office coined the phrase "no man left behind" — because when a woman gets optimized, her husband sometimes can't keep up. ;)If your partner has gone quiet in the bedroom and you don't know why — or she's been told everything looks fine but something clearly isn't — this one's for you. And if she's listening: this one's for you, too.—Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

In this episode, I'm taking you inside one of Paris's most talked-about and notoriously hard-to-get-into sex clubs: Les Chandelles (aka "The Candlesticks"). Andrew and I had been planning this Europe trip for a while, and visiting this club was on our list.I share what it was actually like getting in (yes, the stilettos and suits are non-negotiable), the stark cultural differences between American and European sex clubs, and how the experience ended up being a sexy, fun, trust-building moment in our relationship.I also get real about timing-  why my boyfriend and I waited until we were truly secure as a couple before exploring this kind of experience and why trying to use something like this to "fix" a relationship is often a recipe for disaster based on my professional opinion. Whether this is something you're curious about or just want to understand better, I hope this episode gives you an honest, thoughtful perspective into what a great first experience can look like!The 1% Man's Guide to the Sex Life You Were Built For:https://www.stephanieganowski.com/the-shift/
