Episode 82: Libido

This week on The Living Experiment, we're talking about Libido — the nature of our drive for sensual and sexual contact, and the variables that can affect it, for better or for worse. We start from the assumption that a healthy libido means different things to different people, and that there is no "right" way to feel it, or do it. We explore some of the factors that influence libido, and the concerns that many people share about their own, from a lack or surplus of sexual desire to uncertainties about sexual performance. We talk about challenges of living in a society where sexuality is distorted by media and blunted by stress, anxiety, over-scheduling, shame, religious dogma, and more. We also talk about the physiological, biochemical role that healthy sensuality plays in supporting human health and happiness. Finally, we offer you some experiments to help you get more comfortable with your sense of libido, and wherever it fits into your own life.
