About this episode
Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten discusses the misconceptions surrounding women's sexual desire and the factors that influence it beyond their relationships with men.
There is some idea now that any woman with a loving husband wants sex. This could not be less true. Women may not want sex for all kinds of reasons that have zero to do with their husbands. They may be tired or stressed NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE DOES IN THE HOUSE (including 100% of the chores which I've seen many times), they may just have lower drives (remember there's a normal distribution of most every trait), they may have depression or anxiety, they may be older and at a changed hormonal stage, they may have a trauma history, they may be on medications that impact drive like SSRI's (or GLP-1 blockers as new research shows), they may have a condition with fatigue as a symptom like anemia or of course chronic fatigue. In fact, it's ANTI FEMINIST to say that a woman's drive would be solely due to a man, as women are not a purely reactive monolith. They are individuals with their OWN ISSUES AND PREFERENCES!
