How a Lack of Guidance Creates Fear and Confusion Around Sex - with Lisa (Part 1) | Ep. 166

Doing It Together: Making Sense of Low Libido, Sex, and Intimacy in Marriage.

In Part 1 of Lisa’s story, she looks back on her youth and the awkward search for answers about sex and sexuality as a now 59-year-old woman.

Her parents spoke in vague, confusing terms and never provided real context, which she found bizarre. The explanations she did receive made her body’s natural changes sound painful and frightening. While there was plenty of playground gossip, there was no real guidance from anyone who actually knew what they were talking about. Magazines like Cosmopolitan painted sex as a kind of theatrical performance, leaving Lisa with a jumble of misinformation that led to years of confusion, fear, and dishonesty.

Tune in next week to hear Part 2 and how Lisa finally found truthful guidance to erase this old and tired narrative.
