Sex, orgasms and libido: your questions answered by a sexologist
01:00:22||Ep. 183This week on Should I Delete That, we’re talking about sex. Our guest is Catriona Boffard: clinical psychosexologist, psychotherapist and globally recognised expert on sex and relationships. She’s here to help us understand the real reasons why so many of us often struggle with intimacy - and she explains that it’s often not *just* about sex. With your questions in hand, in this episode we cover everything from orgasms and libido to shame, pleasure and desire. And one of the biggest things we took away from this conversation was that it’s normal to have questions about sex - and that it’s healthy to talk about problems that we may be having.
