GUEST: Dr Sarah Hunter Murray

BIO:

I'm a believer that better sex is possible.

Longer-term relationships and marriages get a bad rap for being monotonous and routine. But when relationships are healthy, loving, safe, and supportive, they also offer opportunities to explore and embrace our sexuality fully and authentically.

How do I know?

I've spent nearly two decades learning everything I can about intimacy and how people connect.

I'm a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT), and obtained my PhD in Human Sexuality.

I've researched what turns us on, when we want sex (and when and why we don't), the biggest misconceptions we have about men and women's sexuality, and what the rest of us can learn from the most sexually satisfied couples.

Along the way I've written a book, become a regularly sought-after sex expert for numerous media outlets, and authored dozens of articles for Psychology Today on topics like:

• Low Sexual Desire/Libido
• Mismatched Sexual Desires
• Sexual Incompatibility
• Sexual Arousal and Orgasmic Difficulties
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Premature Ejaculation
• Affairs
• Pornography
• Sexual Abuse
• Sexual Trauma

BOOK: Not Always in the Mood: The New Science on Men, Sex, and Relationships

Men's sexual desire has long been depicted as high, simple, and unwavering. But the new research around men's desire tells us this is far from true; and that good sex and relationships are suffering from these long-held misconceptions. In Not Always in the Mood: The New Science on Men, Sex, and Relationships sex researcher and relationship therapist Sarah Hunter Murray presents a lively, timely, and critical exploration of the newest, most surprising science on men and sex, shattering myths about men's sexuality and helping today's couples connect more deeply and authentically than ever before. One-by-one, Murray examines the most detrimental, deep-held beliefs we as a society promote around men and their desire, and dive into how they affect our intimate relationships daily – and what to do about it. Do men actually crave and enjoy sex more than women? Do men "do the wanting" and prefer the chase? Where do they stand on sexual rejection? What's the deal with porn? Answering these questions and more, this is a book for modern women and men alike. Moving beyond typical "here's what he likes" sexual tips, the book empowers readers and offers a completely new perspective on sexuality that will validate men's experiences and help their partners to a greater understanding of the psychology and emotions surrounding them.
