This episode is all about how your experience with sex is not hormone-dependent, it is actually dependent upon your brain.

Emily Nagoski is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestselling Come As You Are and The Come As You Are Workbook, and coauthor, with her sister, Amelia, of New York Times bestseller Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle. She earned an M.S. in counseling and a Ph.D. in health behavior, both from Indiana University, with clinical and research training at the Kinsey Institute. Now she combines sex education and stress education to teach women to live with confidence and joy inside their bodies. She lives in Massachusetts.

In this podcast, we cover:

  • Is our perception of sex programmed at a young age?
  • How sexuality works in your brain
  • Why desire is not a significant part of the "great sex" formula
  • How to communicate wants and needs with a partner
  • Why women can struggle to have an orgasm
