Episode 14: (PART 2) The Psychology of Orgasm: Your Brain's Role in Great Sex
In Part 2 of our orgasm series, Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Alex move beyond pelvic floor mechanics to explore the psychology of orgasm. You'll learn why your brain matters as much as physical technique, how “shame loops” hijack arousal, and why fantasy is a tool (not cheating). We tackle intrusive thoughts that kill the mood (like "my stomach looks weird in this position") and give you practical tools to communicate your desires without the awkwardness. This episode is your guide to getting out of your head and back into your body, so you can stop "should-ing" all over your sex life and start enjoying it again.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why saying "I can’t stop thinking about the laundry" out loud actually helps your brain switch back to sex mode.
- How to use fantasy to get out of your head and into your body and why that’s ok.
- How to tell your partner exactly what you need.
- Why solo play is the first step to amazing partnered sex!
Tune in if you’ve ever thought:
- "Why can I orgasm alone, but not with my partner?"
- "Why does my mind wander during sex?"
- "Am I cheating if I fantasize about someone else?"
- "How do I tell them what I want without making it awkward?"
