Listen "Mind Over Matter: What your mind wants you to kNOw about sex."
Episode Synopsis
This episode is one of three parts where Ella discusses the importance of listening to what the mind wants you to #kNOw about sex. She explains the Sexual Response Cycle, negative mind chatter, and how the mind and physical body work together to protect the emotional and spiritual bodies.
*** WARNING ***
This episode does contain adult content and language. You may want to listen with earbuds if children under the age of 18 will be present.
Key Points:
Sexual Response Cycle--the sequence of physical and emotional changes that occur as a person becomes sexually aroused
Four phases of the SRC--Excitement. Plateau. Orgasm. Resolution.
Adrenaline causes an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and works by causing less important blood vessels to constrict and increasing blood flow to larger muscles
Dopamine is responsible for reward-driven behavior and pleasure-seeking.
Oxytocin is a hormone directly linked to human bonding and increasing trust and loyalty.
Marie Geonet and colleagues recently concluded that negative thoughts play a key role in women’s sexual dysfunction: They distract women from erotic stimulation, produce anxiety and guilt, and diminish sexual arousal and pleasure.
Negative mind chatter is the number reason NET destroys the plateau phase and obliterates the ability for a woman to reach the orgasm phase.
