Have a question or comment? Send it to Kristin!So many of us are craving deeper intimacy, but no one ever taught us how to actually talk about sex, desire, or what turns us on. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Diane Mueller for a conversation about what it takes to keep passion alive in long-term relationships.We get into the truth about libido (hint: it’s not just hormones), the impact of the nervous system on arousal, and how communication can completely shift the way we connect with our partners. We also talk about hot monogamy, self-pleasure as a tool for empowerment, and the kind of emotional safety that makes real pleasure possible.If you’ve ever felt like your sex drive disappeared, or you're craving more depth, connection, or fire in your relationship, this one’s for you.Connect with Dr. Diane: My Libido Doc WebsiteYouTubeInstagramTimestamps:8:30 The Steps To An Open Communication16:00 Navigating Vulnerability in Conversations25:05 The Importance of Scheduling Intimacy34:33 Anatomy and Orgasm: Understanding Individual Differences40:22 Emotional Connections and Past ExperiencesSupport the showConnect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramFacebook YouTubeKristin’s Book:Sex, Drugs, & Soul Spotify AudiobookSubscribe:YouTubeSpotifyApplePeptides:Oral Quicksilver GHK/Copper Peptidehttps://elliemd.com/kristinbirdwellMicrodose 🍄 https://myfeelium.co/password: opensesameCode: kristin20 for 20% off
