Episode 23: Let’s Talk About Sex with Dr. Trina Read
Research shows that sexual desire is similar to happiness. For most women, in order to feel sexual desire, you need to be triggered. You can learn positive triggers around sex and negative triggers around sex. You need to set up your positive triggers for sex.
In situations with great change, it’s important to connect with your partner and look for ways to be together, so that you don’t drift apart. Being proactive and finding pockets of time to be close with your partner helps your relationship, as well as feeling more powerful yourself.
Your body can only produce either cortisol (your stress hormone) or testosterone (your sex drive hormone). If you’re producing cortisol, you can’t produce testosterone.
You can back into the groove and bring your body back to a place where you feel more centred and sensual by:
Taking a bath
Listening to your favourite music
Giving yourself some me time alone (perhaps in your bedroom with a vibrator)
Just making up your mind to connect with your partner and scheduling it in (even if it feels forced at first)
Episode 17 and Episode 82 – Relationship Seasons with psychotherapist Allison Villa
How to support your relationship so you’re not just surviving, but working proactively to thrive
Coping – when an external factor takes up the majority of your time and energy, eg. having a baby, starting a new job, loss of family member, pandemic, moving or renovation
Express how you feel
Ask for what you need
Don’t assume – be curious about your partner
Carve out 5 minutes a day to check in with your partner during a high energy time in your day – keep talking!
Recognize that it’s less about the doing and more about being and acknowledging
Coasting – when you have come out the the Coping season and reintegrate as a couple, a bit of a danger zone if you’re not putting the time and energy into your relationship eg. empty nest syndrome
Carve out 5 minutes a day to check in with your partner – no talking about work, kids or the house!
Support each other’s self-care time
Connected – when schedule for self-care is set and you are getting clear on your family and relationship vision
Dream big!
Ask:
What is your community?
What are your values?
Do you want to travel?
What is your spiritual vision?
Could you do things a different way?
Confident – when you know what vision you are working towards
Be more curious about your intimacy vision – intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical, sexual
