Did you know there are different types of touch? In today's episode, Laurie and George share the work of sex researcher Barry McCarthy on the different types of touch and why they matter. Join us in learning about affectionate, non-demand pleasure and sensual/erotic touch. All kinds of touch are important for emotional and sexual connection. Yet, a quick shift from affectionate to sexual touch can trigger the negative cycle. Our hosts will help listeners understand the differences and when and where to engage in each style. If you've been in a pattern where a hug can lead to sex or to an argument this episode will shine light on what happened and what to do next.

505: Why Touch Matters

What sexual cues turn women on? Here’s a hint—interest is sexy! 32% of women lack sexual interest, according to a research study by Meston & McCall, “Cues Resulting in Sexual Desire for Women.” The study found that increased sexual cues resulted in increased frequency for females. In this episode, we’ll talk about the many cues that trigger a woman’s desire! 

Female sexual desire has a more emotional component to it; Women are more externally triggered in relationship factors and setting; connection and presence. What kind of cues increase her desire? Let’s get specific. In this episode, Laurie and George break down the cues from the study: emotional bonding cues, erotic/explicit cues, visual/proximity cues, and romantic/implicit cues.

Foreplay Replay - What Turns Women On? Female Sexual Cues

In today's episode, Laurie is joined by Urologist and men's health expert Dr. Dan Khera-McRackan of Raleigh, NC. Men of varied ages experience issues with premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and prostate health. Dr. Dan joins us today to reassure men and provide confidence in seeking treatment for these issues. He explains how hormones impact male anatomy, that anxiety is often a driver of ED and successful ways to break this cycle including medicine and psychotherapy. While these experiences may be temporarily embarrassing with treatment, support and communication they are often easily resolved and improve relationship health. They warn against ignoring these issues because you may be feeling embarrassed as they could be indicators of underlying health conditions. Both experts recommend that men seek treatment early and begin having regular prostate checks at age 45. Laurie reminds men, "Don't rest, get the test!"
