Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

In the Mood for Love


Listen Later

We’re back for another Language of Love Session, where I speak to listeners like you and give my expert advice. In this session, I sat down with someone who's been a longtime listener and has been following my advice ever since my days on Oprah. She reached out to me for guidance, and her story is bound to hit close to home for many of us. Picture this: she escaped a five-year marriage that felt more like a chore than a fairytale. But now, she's in a sizzling new relationship, sparks are flying and things are heating up for her in all the right ways. The twist? Her partner's got a case of the “low desire and low testosterone blues” and she's grappling with feelings of rejection and neglect. Together, we explore the complexities of reigniting intimacy and desire.


In this episode, you will learn about: 

  • How stress and anxiety can negatively affect sexual desire in men
  • The different physical, emotional, hormonal and medical factors that can create difficulty with male sexual response and sensation
  • Why low desire does not necessarily mean they are no longer attracted to you
  • The importance of having a “cost-benefit analysis” in a long-term relationship
  • How men often dismiss sexual issues because it emasculates them and the steps you can take to address the problem

  • Remember, issues of sexual desire are common in relationships and can be tackled with open communication and professional help. If you are looking for a sex therapist, you can find a clinician near you by visiting the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists website at https://aasect.org/
