Ep 30 Joe Molinari | When Stress Messes with Sex

An interview with Joe Molinari, a certified sex therapist who specializes in helping people heal from sexual trauma and find ways to move towards pleasure.  

He also helps couples develop deeper intimacy with each other and navigate some of the common problems that can come up in sexual relationships, and that’s really what we focused our conversation around.

This last year has been A LOT.  And as people are dealing with more stress and anxiety, it can have an effect on our sexual relationships.

We talked about what to do when couples just aren’t on the same page sexually...maybe one person is feeling less interested in sex than they used to be...and he gives some really great tips for moving through these road bumps together and having more connected conversations about it.

Another common issue that can come up is erectile dysfunction, and he provides some context for what treatment for that can look like.  

This can be a tough subject for couples to talk about, and we talk about some of the mental baggage that goes along with it and an important first step that he recommends people take if they’re dealing with erectile dysfunction.

Overall, Joe uses a lot of mindfulness techniques in his practice and he talks about how using some of these techniques can help people make that mind-body connection, get more in touch with body sensations and recognizing thoughts and thought patterns.

This episode is great for anyone who’s feeling frustrated with their sexual relationships right now, couples who are feeling like they’re in a rut or not on the same page, or anyone dealing with erectile dysfunction and curious about what support and treatment for that can look like.
