About the COME AGAIN Podcast (with Episode List)
Sexuality and Orgasm
Science-based information to get your libido to kick in and your clitoral nerve endings to wake up
What if suddenly your tried-and-true maneuvers that consistently ended in orgasm no longer worked? Or it took so long and the climax so pathetic it was hardly worth the effort?
Along with hot flashes, sandpaper sex, and a loss of libido, add the inability to have an orgasm to the list of post-menopause surprises your mom "forgot" to warn you about.
Existing information about arousal and orgasm generally only addresses psychosocial and relationship aspects. You don’t need to be told to have a glass of wine and plan a date night if your inability to orgasm is due to a biological problem.
Decreased blood flow because of aging, low estrogen, and damage to blood vessels from medical issues such as diabetes, cancer treatments, or vascular disease all sabotage the ability of nerve endings to respond.
If you are one of the millions of women who lost their libido and want to find it, sex hurts like hell, or are wondering if you will ever orgasm again, COME AGAIN is for you
