Life Uncut Podcast - Why Desire Changes

Where has my desire gone and how can I get it back?

I hear this question a lot, and so do Laura Byrne and Britt Hockley, the hosts of the Life Uncut podcast, who both rose to fame as contestants on The Bachelor Australia. They recently interviewed me on their podcast, and this is their description of our conversation:

“Where has my desire gone and how do I get it back? It seems to be something every one of us experiences at different stages of our lives and we still don’t seem to be talking about it all that much. Speaking of things we don’t talk about, when was the last time you self-pleasured? How about your partner? Do you ask them when they masturbate? Don’t worry, we don’t either. But maybe we should!

Dr Jenn is here to break down how we all feel about desire and pleasure for ourselves and within our relationships! We spoke about: How our attitudes have changed when it comes to talking about sex. How girls and boys are socialised differently when it comes to our bodies. When to talk to kids about their ‘urges.’ How our desire levels change over our lifetime and so does ‘what feels good.’ Is porn a common problem in relationships? Are you the higher desire person or lower desire person in your relationship? How important is it to masturbate? Practical ways that you can bring your desire back.”
