Doctor Explains What Men Don't Understan...

Impact Theory
About this episode

Good news ladies! If you haven’t figured it out yet, there’s sex of all kinds for us to enjoy, and it’s not all about His parts. There’s much more to sex than penetration, his pleasure, and the nonsensical pressure to perform like a porn star in the bedroom every night.

This episode is dedicated to a happier, healthier sex life for the empowered badass woman that’s prioritizing her health and well-being.

Depending on your background, religious beliefs, and parental tolerance for the conversation of sex, you may not realize the sex-pectations society has pushed on you or the reason your sex drive is non-existent some days.

Dr. Jolene Brighton is the sex-ed doc we all wish our younger selves had (but you’ve got her now, so pay attention!) She’s the author of the book we all need to check out, Is This Normal? Judgment Free Straight Talk About Your Body. She’s a clinical sexologist helping women, a.k.a. “vulva owners” get answers to the questions they dare not say allowed or in mixed company.

In this episode Lisa’s putting aside all the shame and embarrassment to get the takeaways every woman needs to hear today:


  • Why sex drive is the top complaint women have, and all the things we do to ruin it
  • If you didn’t have a big enough reason to practice mindfulness, having orgasm may be the best reason yet
  • The unnecessary shame for women around pleasing their partner and having to make their own lubrication or else
  • What Arousal Non-Concordance is and the fight between your brain and genitals
  • Why size does actually matter (a lot)


Male centric messages about sex have been screwing up our sex lives, our pleasure and our health.We’ve got a lot of messages wrong about porn, about orgasms, and about intimacy. You can start here and now with an upgraded sex-ed class that prioritizes your sexual pleasure not his!
