Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness

Send us Fan MailHere's something nobody told you: boys come into the world with a broader range of emotional expression than girls do. And then we spend the next 18 years systematically shutting it down.In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst — psychotherapist with over 50 years of experience and author of Read, Reflect, Respond: The Three Rs of Growth and Change — for a conversation that reframes everything you thought you knew about men and emotions. Dr. Vanderhorst has spent decades working with boys from preschool through adulthood and has watched the same pattern play out: a child with a full emotional range gets shamed, shut down, and trained out of vulnerability. Then he grows up, gets married, and his partner wonders why he won't open up.The answer isn't that he can't. It's that we taught him not to.What you'll learn in this episode:Why boys are born more emotionally expressive than girls — and what happens to that capacity over timeHow shame and social conditioning box away emotions without erasing them — and why that means it's never too lateThe free feelings word list Dr. Vanderhorst swears by — and exactly where to put it in your house so it actually gets usedWhy women say they want emotionally available men, then unconsciously shut them down when they tryThe car, the dark room, and the bedtime cuddle — why side-by-side conversations unlock what face-to-face conversations can'tHow unexpressed emotion ends up stored in the body as physical pain and illnessWhy men's deepest friendships often involve zero emotional vulnerability — and what that costs themThe connection between emotional intelligence and problem-solving that most people never makeWhen to stop trying to fix it yourself and get outside help — and why earlier is always betterDr. Vanderhorst's free feelings word list and blog resources are available at drvandherhorst.com. Her book Read, Reflect, Respond is available on Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.📅 Hormonal shifts affecting mood, connection, or desire in your relationship? We can help.

Send us Fan MailBetween years three and seven, most marriages hit a wall. The rose-colored glasses come off, the red flags you ignored start waving, and suddenly you're wondering if you chose the wrong person. Spoiler: you probably didn't. But nobody told you this was coming — and nobody taught you what to do when it does.In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with psychologist, author, and marital therapist Bonnie Comfort — yes, that's her real name — for a candid, deeply human conversation about what it actually takes to stay married. Bonnie spent 25 years in clinical practice in Portland, Oregon, and her memoir Staying Married Is the Hardest Part draws on both her professional expertise and her own 33-year marriage, which included sexual incompatibility, fetishes, infidelity, and ultimately — a love that lasted until her husband's death.What you'll learn in this episode:Why most couples don't have a communication problem — they have an anger and resentment problem, and how to tell the differenceThe 3–7 year disillusionment pattern and why it's completely normal (and survivable)How childhood wounds show up in adult relationships as disproportionate anger — and how understanding that changes everythingWhy the small daily bids for connection your partner makes matter more than grand romantic gesturesWhat mismatched libido and mismatched sexual desire actually look like in a long-term marriage — and what a 25-year therapist says to do about itWhy fetishes and kinks are largely not amenable to therapy — and what that means for couples navigating sexual incompatibilityHow pillow talk, hot tub rituals, and 15-minute check-ins can do more for a marriage than a weekend getawayLove languages, the Gottman bids for connection, and why doing what your partner needs instead of what you would want is the real skillBonnie's memoir Staying Married Is the Hardest Part is available wherever books are sold.

Send us Fan MailLess than 2% of men have a penis larger than 7.5 inches. Yet nearly every romance novel hero does. And that's just one of the ways we're accidentally doing people harm — through the very stories meant to turn them on.In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with romance author Christina Braver for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, eye-opening, and genuinely educational. Christina writes what's called "steamy open door" romance — meaning you're in the room, with all the language, dirty talk, and real human messiness that comes with it.

Real people. Real problems. Hot outcomes.What you'll learn in this episode:Why neuroscience says reading about sex activates your brain almost identically to having it — and why that matters for arousal and desireHow romance novels can be the safest way to explore a fantasy before ever bringing it up with your partnerThe real reason women loved 50 Shades of Grey (hint: it's not the BDSM)Why the "bigger is better" myth is actively hurting men — and what the research actually says about penis size and sexual satisfactionHow to use a book, a podcast, or a short story to start the conversation you've been afraid to haveWhy vibrators are tools, not competition — and why if you can be replaced by one, that's useful informationWhat the menopause low libido experience actually feels like from the inside, and why your partner not wanting sex probably has nothing to do with youThe four most common female sexual fantasies — and how men can tap into them without becoming someone they're notChristina's books are available at christinabraver.com, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.
