Episode 401: A New Way of Treating Arousal and Libido Problems


Listen Later

In today’s show, we’re talking about a new way of treating women’s most common sexual problems. My guest co-developed an online sexual health platform called eSense that’s designed to bring evidence-based treatment for low sexual desire and arousal to the masses at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy. It could very well be a game-changer in the way we treat sex problems.

I am joined once again by Dr. Lori Brotto, an internationally recognized leader in sexual health research. She is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a Registered Psychologist, and Canada Research Chair in Women’s Sexual Health. She is also author of the book Better Sex Through Mindfulness.

Some of the specific topics we explore include:

  • What is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and how can it help in treating problems with desire and arousal?
  • How can mindfulness-based therapy be useful in cases of low sexual desire?
  • How does the eSense platform leverage both CBT and mindfulness training to treat sexual difficulties?
  • How effective is therapy administered online compared to things like face-to-face therapy and pharmaceuticals?
  • How will technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality change sex therapy in the future?
  • You can check out Lori’s website to learn more about her work, and you can learn more about eSense at esense.health.
