Doing It Together: Making Sense of Low Libido, Sex, and Intimacy in Marriage.

The Intricate Intersection of Race, Gender, Sex & Desire - with Renee | Ep. 77


Listen Later

Renee opens up to Janna about her six-year marriage to her white husband, exploring the intricacies of their age and ethnicity differences that created a soupy mix of misunderstandings around sexual desire, and her feelings of low libido.


Renee, a biracial woman, brings a compassionate and curious lens to her experiences and exploration of black culture, shedding light on the pervasive hypersexualized messages that saturate the music and language, contributing to a perfect storm of toxic masculinity.


As a strong, confident, and well-educated entrepreneur and feminist, she reflects on her adept ability to navigate societal pressures, but her inability to speak up in the bedroom. It is through the lens of Wanting It More that Renee discovers a profound realization—she had unknowingly been following cultural scripts throughout her entire sexual life, ignoring her own needs in order to fulfill the needs of others. This revelation sparks a hopeful journey of self-discovery, as Renee bravely shares her quest to unearth genuine pleasure and satisfaction in the bedroom beyond societal expectations and cultural norms.


Tune in for a conversation that navigates the intersection of culture, race, love, and personal fulfillment, leaving listeners inspired and hopeful for their own paths of exploration and understanding.
