264: Sexual Arousal and Sexual Confidence
About this episode
Do you know what arouses you?
Knowing that could completely change the way you show up in the bedroom.
In this episode, we dive into the difference between desire and arousal, and why understanding your own arousal triggers is the missing link to greater confidence, deeper intimacy, and more passionate sex in marriage.
We cover the history of our scientific understanding of arousal and the sexual experience, including our most recent insights on how context, trust, and emotional closeness play a huge role in arousal—especially for women. We'll also explore how positive sexual experiences build on each other, creating momentum for more intimacy and joy in your relationship.
By the end, you'll not only understand the science of arousal better, but you'll also walk away with ideas you can use to strengthen your connection, boost your sexual confidence, and build a marriage that feels more alive and passionate than ever!
