If my desire is low, it doesn’t mean I’m not capable of desire.

There are many reasons that all humans have low desire from time to time!

Such as
• Disconnect from partner
• Disconnect from self
• Scripted sex routines get old
• Illness
• Emotional distress
• Lack of safety
• Going too fast to feel anything
• Lack of confidence
• Over-giving
• Fear of judgment / shame

Every female I’ve gotten to know has desire. … Lots of desire!

In this episode, I share some options for stoking that desire.

I also share about the female erection, and how this little-understood bodily function plays into the myth that females have low desire.

As a culture, we have an opportunity to re-write our stories. ❤️

Women have lots of sexual desire! All of us have the full capacity to enjoy healthy, loving, sexual experiences whether solo or partnered. When one of us has questions, we make the space to stop and focus on what might enhance and improve our sexual interactions.

Everyone’s desire, pleasure, and play matters!

Let’s create a more sexually healthy culture together.

One half of our population is unable to move their body freely and naturally, and unable to have certain feelings or thoughts, during about 99% of their waking hours.

Then when, and only when, society has determined “it’s time”, that otherwise-forbidden body part is supposed to stand happily at attention “rock hard” until … usually until someone else is satisfied.

If the body part moves when it is not supposed to (99% of the time), the person will be sexually shamed, if not accused of a crime.

If the body part does not stand tall when “it’s time” - the person will be referred to the medical industrial complex for pills, potions, pumps, surgeries, and of course … mental health counseling.

In this episode, I discuss how boner shame affects us all. Deeply.

Yet no one’s even talking about it.

Listen and, even if you decide not to participate in the Boner Pride parade we want to have someday 🥰, perhaps you will consider ways that you might support a more healthy, natural, and accepting environment among your friends, family, children, and loved ones.

When most folks say "A.I" or "artificial intelligence" these days they mean Chat GPT or a similar system. This kind of AI is what this podcast is about. A computer application that can scan voluminous data sets almost instantly, and then share it's answer to our query in our language as if it were speaking to us. These systems, which are limited by (1) which data they have access to and (2) the biases of their creators (and are unable to have an original idea) are sort of like Encyclopedia 3.0. I use them as I would an encyclopedia - double-checking any important informaiton they give me, and always aware of the biases of the source.

Studies have shown that when we use these AI systems to do our creative work, we almost instantly decrease our brain's creative capacity. Likewise, I believe that turning to AI for emotional support decreases our ability to connect emotionaly with other humans. In this episode I share my concerns about how we humans might be harming ourselves with AI in three specific ways:

- when we allow AI to do our creative work,
- when we rely on AI for emotional support, and
- when we allow AI to define who we are in the world.

How do you see these tools? Do you share any of these concerns? ... I don't hear it spoken about much so let's talk about it with our friends and family, and keep the conversation alive. 🥰
