Let’s talk about sex, baby! In this episode, we dive into the fascinating and often complex world of human sexuality by exploring the evolution of the sexual response cycle. From Freud’s early psychoanalytic theories to Masters and Johnson’s groundbreaking physiological studies and beyond to modern models, we trace the history of how sex has been studied, categorized, and understood. We also examine the balance between understanding sexuality through a medical lens and the potential pitfalls of over-medicalization. As OB/GYN residents, we discuss how this history shapes our approach to patient care and what it means to navigate the intersection of biology, psychology, and cultural norms in the clinic. Let’s break down these frameworks and open the door for deeper, more nuanced conversations about sexuality in medicine! Plus, who doesn’t love to get it on.
