Are women wired to experience sexual desire around ovulation alone? Why does it plummet afterward? Is this the way it's supposed to be? And are there natural ways to increase sexual desire or increase libido? Today's episode welcomes Catholic sexuality and intimacy coach, Ellen Holloway, to discuss what exactly makes women feel sexual desire and how to recognize if yours is low or normal.
We discuss things like:
⭐️ What libido is and why we experience it
⭐️ The biological barriers that stifle healthy sexual desire
⭐️ Steps you can take to restore sexual desire in your marriage
NOTE: Due to subject matter and terminology, it is likely inappropriate for some audiences.
