You Are Not Broken

Happy ONE MILLION DOWNLOADS!   So I asked ChatGPT to help me write a podcast episode, and I think AI nailed it! How can iIget my partner to have more sex with me? 1. Communicate openly: Have a conversation with your partner about your needs and desires. Share your feelings and listen to their perspective. It's important to approach this conversation in a non-confrontational and non-judgmental way. 2. Understand their perspective: Your partner may have different needs or desires when it comes to sex. Try to understand their perspective and see if there are any underlying issues that may be affecting their interest in sex. 3. Show affection: Show your partner that you care about them and appreciate them. This can help build a stronger emotional connection and make them more likely to want to be intimate with you. 4. Be spontaneous: Surprise your partner with a romantic gesture or plan a special date night. This can help reignite the spark in your relationship. 5. Look at your relationship: Reflect on your relationship as a whole and see if there are any factors that may be affecting your partner's interest in sex, such as stress, fatigue, or relationship issues. 6. Seek professional help: If you and your partner are unable to resolve the issue on your own, consider seeking the help of a couples therapist or sex therapist. They can provide guidance and support to help improve your relationship. 7. Be patient: Remember that change takes time, and it's important to be patient and supportive of your partner. It's important to remember that every relationship and every person is different, and what works for one couple may not work for another. Communication and mutual understanding are key to addressing any issues in a relationship, including sexual intimacy.

I get so many hormone questions!  So I needed a podcast to refer people to. I hope I did okay covering the basics and deep diving into some more complicated details. Enjoy! 1. Sex and Menopause 2. Systemic versus Vaginal Hormones 3. Estrogen Doesn't Cause Cancer 4. We gendered hormones and how this hurts women 5. Natural is a weapon waged to keep us in our place 6. Pellets and compounds are to be avoided if better options are available 7. You never need to stop hormones 8. The FDA will not help us (the two cases of Testosterone and Alzheimer's disease).  (bonus) I hate the word "balanced" when discussing hormones.  Pro tip - people are probably just trying to sell you something.  Paganini-Hill A, Henderson VW.

In recent publications, they reported that estrogen does not increase “all cause mortality” or deaths from heart disease and cancer. Actually, they said, it increases longevity, most notably when begun within ten years of the last menstrual period. It is the best preventative for osteoporotic hip fracture. It is safe and effective when applied vaginally for local symptoms. And, in the most striking about-face from their 2003 headlines that HRT “did not have a clinically meaningful effect on health-related quality of life” for women in menopause, they stated in 2019 that “Hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for managing menopausal vasomotor symptoms.” - Desire mismatch is not a problem - Orgasmic equality - Hope is not a game plan o Wishing your desire was different does nothing – it does worse than nothing o Resisting reality, resisting what is - Healthy relationship with your body o Speak kindly o Sleep, exercise, food o Stop shoulding all over your body - Healthy relationship with sex o Stop shoulding o Stop doing it for other people o Be present o It is okay to fail, to not feel like it Did you get the You Are Not Broken Book Yet? https://amzn.to/3p18DfK Join my membership to get these episodes ASAP when they are created and without advertisement and even listen live to the interviews and episodes. www.kellycaspersonmd.com/membership https://www.getinterlude.com/?utm_source=affiliate&utm_campaign=promo-kc-notbroken --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet Sylvie B – a sexological body worker in training! Many people struggle in their intimate relationships, whether because of pain, perceived dysfunction, loss of libido, mismatched libido and, most pervasively, shame.  Many people have also experienced trauma, low self-esteem, and frustration over the limits to their pleasure.

Good sex more than just the absence of pain. Why do people come see a sexological body worker? What is Somatic Sex Education and sexological bodywork? Not many people are used to being asked how they would like to be touched. Some people get really frustrated because they realize they just don’t know.
