One-third of women have a higher sex drive than the average man — so why does no one talk about it?
In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Courtney Faye Long, an intimacy expert and sexuality educator with nearly 30 years of experience, about highly sexual women, the shame that keeps them silent, and what she calls "erotic abandonment" — the ache of wanting more intimacy than you're getting.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why the "men always want it more" narrative is a myth — and why so many high-desire women hide it
The 8 types of erotic abandonment, including desire gaps, rushed warm-ups, mechanical sex, and unseen hunger
Why women's bodies often need 20–45 minutes of arousal time — and why that's physiological, not just emotional
How to navigate mismatched finish times in a relationship without shame or resentment on either side
The subconscious roots of sexual shame, and how hypnotherapy can help clear it
A simple daily "pleasure practice" to help women reconnect with their bodies and desires
The physiology of feeling wanted: how desire itself increases blood flow, lubrication, nitric oxide, and vaginal tenting
Why asking your partner "what makes you feel desired?" changes everything
The role of exercise (cardio and resistance training) in boosting arousal through nitric oxide
If you've ever felt "too much" for wanting more intimacy, this episode is your permission slip.
