Why Does Desire Change & When Was The Last Time You Felt Pleasure? Uncut with Dr Jenn Gunsaullus

One of the most common questions we get from our listeners is ‘where has my desire gone and how do I get it back?’ It seems to be something every one of us experiences at different stages of our lives and we still don’t seem to be talking about it all that much. Speaking of things we don’t talk about, when was the last time you self pleasured? How about your partner? Do you ask them when they masturbate? Don’t worry, we don’t either. But maybe we should!

Joining us is the incredible Dr. Jennifer Gunsaullus, aka ‘Dr. Jenn,’ a sociologist, sexologist, TEDx speaker, and ‘Vagina Warrior’. With over 20 years of experience in the field of sexual health, Dr Jenn is here to break down how we all feel about desire and pleasure for ourselves and within our relationships!

We spoke about:

How our attitudes have changed when it comes to talking about sex
How girls and boys are socialised differently when it comes to our bodies
When to talk to kids about their ‘urges’
How our desire levels change over our lifetime and so does ‘what feels good’
Is porn a common problem in relationships?
Are you the higher desire person or lower desire person in your relationship?
How important is it to masturbate?
Practical ways that you can bring your desire back

You can find Dr Jenn’s new book From Madness to Mindfulness: Reinventing Sex for Women
