Let's Talk About Sex, Baby with LaDawn Lanier

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we have Ladawn Lanier, Sexologist, and Psychologist. I feel that the majority of moms who listen to this episode will walk away feeling relieved. LaDawn normalized everything I was feeling. I literally felt like I went to a therapy session. A sexologist is usually a psychologist or therapist who has taken specialized courses in sex education. LaDawn shares that the biggest myth is that if you go to a sex therapist, you'll be required to have sex right there in the office- that's NOT going to happen she says. Take comfort in knowing that our sexual wants/desires change over the course of our life and the best thing we can do is to communicate and be sure our partners comprehend what we are saying so that we continue to stay on the same page. Here are some key takeaways from my time spent with LaDawn:Everything doesn't have to be a penis and vagina! Enjoy the journey start the four play in the morning- send text messages, stick post-it notes in most visual areas.Don't limit yourself to the bedroom.  Put sex on the calendar and/or get a babysitter- go to the hotel!To get in the mood- take a shower; know and communicate what feels good to you. Get some sleep!LaDawn is a professor, certified psychologist, and sex therapist.
