11 Surprising Libido Killers

11 Surprising Libido Killers

Author: Michele Lisenbury Christensen June 15, 2023 Duration: 39:16
So many women come to me wanting to turn up their libidos and experience more and better orgasms. I start by asking them 11 questions that, on the surface, don’t seem directly related to erotic desire. But the answers that women give me tell me a ton about their relationships with themselves, their turn-on, their bodies, their sensations, and with their capacity to contain embodied experiences, both desired experiences and not desired experiences.

Michele Lisenbury Christensen hosts Sex.Love.Power.: Sacred Sexuality, Conscious Polarity, and Waking Up In Love, a space for those who sense a deeper potential within their committed relationships. This podcast explores the idea that our personal pleasure is not a distraction, but a vital source of energy for everything we do-from our work and service to our daily play. It’s built on the conviction that sexuality can be a wholesome, grounding part of life, and that monogamous partnerships can be dynamic centers of desire and discovery, rather than routines of duty. In a cultural moment that often leaves heterosexual couples feeling confused or without clear models for lasting passion, these conversations offer a different path. You’ll hear practical insights and reflective discussions on how to transform the inner urge for profound connection into a lived reality. Each episode delves into the principles of sacred sexuality and conscious polarity-the dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energies-as tools for waking up to more love and aliveness within a committed framework. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about cultivating a sustainable, vibrant relationship that fuels a meaningful life. Tune in for honest explorations that bridge the personal and the spiritual, all aimed at making your partnership the hottest, most empowering place on earth.
