The Sexy Lifestyle with Carol and David

Are you looking to find out more about men's sexual desire? Perhaps you are wondering if all men are supposed to have a high sex drive, crave sex and enjoy sex more than women? Why is no one is talking about men's emotional vulnerability with respect to sexual desire? Join us with Sex Researcher and Relationship Therapist, Dr Sarah Hunter Murray, Author of the book, Not Always in the Mood: The New Science on Men, Sex, and Relationships, as we bust a number of myths surrounding men and their desire and dive deep into how great sex and relationships are suffering from these long-held misconceptions. GUEST: Dr Sarah Hunter Murray   BIO: I'm a believer that better sex is possible. Longer-term relationships and marriages get a bad rap for being monotonous and routine. But when relationships are healthy, loving, safe, and supportive, they also offer opportunities to explore and embrace our sexuality fully and authentically. How do I know? I've spent nearly two decades learning everything I can about intimacy and how people connect. I'm a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT), and obtained my PhD in Human Sexuality. I've researched what turns us on, when we want sex (and when and why we don't), the biggest misconceptions we have about men and women's sexuality, and what the rest of us can learn from the most sexually satisfied couples. Along the way I've written a book, become a regularly sought-after sex expert for numerous media outlets, and authored dozens of articles for Psychology Today on topics like: Low Sexual Desire/Libido Mismatched Sexual Desires Sexual Incompatibility Sexual Arousal and Orgasmic Difficulties Erectile Dysfunction Premature Ejaculation Affairs Pornography Sexual Abuse Sexual Trauma BOOK: Not Always in the Mood: The New Science on Men, Sex, and Relationships Men's sexual desire has long been depicted as high, simple, and unwavering. But the new research around men's desire tells us this is far from true; and that good sex and relationships are suffering from these long-held misconceptions. In Not Always in the Mood: The New Science on Men, Sex, and Relationships sex researcher and relationship therapist Sarah Hunter Murray presents a lively, timely, and critical exploration of the newest, most surprising science on men and sex, shattering myths about men's sexuality and helping today's couples connect more deeply and authentically than ever before. One-by-one, Murray examines the most detrimental, deep-held beliefs we as a society promote around men and their desire, and dive into how they affect our intimate relationships daily – and what to do about it. Do men actually crave and enjoy sex more than women? Do men "do the wanting" and prefer the chase? Where do they stand on sexual rejection? What's the deal with porn? Answering these questions and more, this is a book for modern women and men alike. Moving beyond typical "here's what he likes" sexual tips, the book empowers readers and offers a completely new perspective on sexuality that will validate men's experiences and help their partners to a greater understanding of the psychology and emotions surrounding them.

Do you want to know the secret of feeling sexy, balanced and in control naturally? Here's a hint: It has everything to do with balanced hormones. Join us with Hormone Specialist, Dr Sarah Daccarett, from Inner Balance, as we get down to the basics about hormones, from how they work to why women's hormone levels are critical to having a great sex life… and everything else in between. GUEST: Dr Sarah Daccarett BIO: Dr. Sarah Daccarett is dedicated to ensuring your symptoms are no longer mis-diagnosed or ignored. "In my mid-thirties after the birth of my son, my hormone levels never recovered After trying every available product, I realized there were NO solutions specifically to meet the needs of younger women who want to feel young and vibrant again. I invented the Inner Balance protocol and Oestra because I needed it. I also realized that I wasn't alone - that hormone levels decline drastically in our 30s - NOT when our period stops in our 50s like we have been told. Women every day suffer from endometriosis, PCOS, postpartum depression, effects of birth control, hair loss, depression, fatigue, and a whole host of health problems due to low estrogen and progesterone. They are mis-diagnosed, mis-treated, or blown off as "just a part of being a woman", "just a part of aging", "you're too young", "you are normal," or even worse "you're just crazy." Meanwhile advancement in men's and transgender hormone replacement therapy is a decade ahead of women's. We think this is unacceptable, antiquated and marginalization of women. Women no longer have to settle for "normal" but rather they can feel exceptional - always. We believe this change starts with us at Inner Balance." Sarah Daccarett, MD CEO & Founder of Inner Balance Inner Balance does not accept that being female must involve physical and mental suffering brought on by hormonal changes. Normal is not brain fog, endometriosis, PCOS, weight gain, decreased sex drive and anxiety. Normal is not passing through in life this way with resilience and tenacity. Women are asked to suffer on behalf of society. We reject suffering as a necessary condition of being a woman. Estrogen & progesterone therapy creates inner balance. Inner Balance allows life to be lead with vigor and verve. We embrace aging, without suffering. We embrace beauty. We embrace love. We embrace curiosity. We embrace community. We embrace the maximizing of every moment. With Inner Balance, you won't just feel like yourself again… you will feel like your Superhero self. The best is yet to come!
