1. The shocking revelation that many women experience physical arousal but can’t reach orgasm because we are so “stuck” in our heads that we don’t even register it.

2. Glennon and Abby share about their periodic sexual droughts – and Dr. Brotto gives them (us) advice.

3. The biggest predictors of sexual problems for women – including stress/compulsive multitasking – and how to address them.

4. How to know if you are disconnecting from your body during sex, and how to reintegrate to increase your pleasure.
