74. How to Reignite Your Sexual Pleasure with Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus

Are you craving more pleasure in your life? You’re not the only one!  Countless women are either craving more sexual pleasure in their life or they’re unaware of how much they’re craving great sex. People who experience frequent pleasure and connection to their sexuality are happier and more connected to themselves and the world. Makes sense, right?  So, are you ready to join the fun? Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, a certified medical sex therapist, has truly pioneered the blending of physiological and psychological expertise in her approach to sex therapy. She believes that the same sense of shame, guilt, and “not enoughness” are the same things people struggle with regarding sex and food/eating. Let’s explore! In this episode, Molly and Bat Sheva discuss the morality of the biology of obesity, why it’s important to have a healthy sex life (with or without a partner), and the biggest stigmas and myths about sex that are harming us every single day. She talks about the reasons why women struggle to have orgasms and how to overcome that, the parallel beliefs between food and sex, and the most underused tool in women’s sexual arsenals. Episode Quotes “The more you realize that your sex life is not static, that it is a constantly evolving, changing, living, breathing thing, the better you’re going to be at bumping up and down those little road bumps and keeping your sex life alive and vibrant for, hopefully, your whole life.” – Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus “Sex with yourself can be the BEST sex.” – Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus Key Highlights Sex is just as important in a relationship as intimacy and communication; If you have a low sex drive, it’s not in your head and it’s not necessarily because of your relationship. Do not blame and shame yourself! You are not broken; One of the biggest myths about sex is that sex is stagnant, or that your sex life will stay the same for your whole life. In reality, this is totally false; If you’re reliant on one person for pleasure, you’re going to be in trouble! Learning how to have great sex with yourself can seriously change your life; If you put on weight and you’re not feeling sexy or you think your partner won’t find you sexy, the world is not ending. Working to have some type of relationship with your sexuality can help you reconnect with your sexual energy and nurture your sexual desire – leading to more pleasure; To have a healthy sexual relationship with yourself, start by slowing down and exploring your body parts. Then, activate your brain by fantasizing, using your imagination, and being playful!
