Research has demonstrated that 34% of individuals with bulimia exhibit abuse or dependence on alcohol, and that those with bulimia are more likely to abuse alcohol than those without eating disorders. In fact, 30 to 35% of women seeking bulimia treatment also exhibit an alcohol use disorder. In this post, I want to specifically focus on the co-occurrence of alcoholism and bulimia. http://bit.ly/2YiuHqx

Ho, Ho, Ho, Meeeeeerrrry Christmas! Whether you’re enjoying the day with loved ones or peacefully alone, I hope you’re spending it doing something you really enjoy. Us? We’re spending the day playing games and of course, ALL OF US are playing for the sole purpose of winning . We all are type As (including my 7-year-old niece). How are you spending the holiday?

It’s that time of the year again the time when we make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, to slim down, and to eat better. But there’s just one problem this obsession with being the right size is, in many ways, a socially imposed media narrative that could have a direct negative impact on your sex life. In fact, there is actually a very strong correlation between the way we think about our bodies, and the degree to which we enjoy sex in the bedroom. As I’ve seen in... my own clinical practice in Los Angeles, people who struggle with food also tend to struggle with their sexuality. For example, women who obsess about a new crash diet may also feel intense pressure to become a certain size or stay a certain shape in order to hang onto their partner. Or women not currently in a relationship may feel that they are not worthy of being loved by another man or women if they are overweight. And, in still other cases, women who may feel that something is missing from their sex life might turn to food to fill that void. Amazingly enough, the type of sexual problem being experienced is sometimes coded directly in a person’s struggle with food. As a sex therapist and eating disorder specialist, I often see a direct one-to-one correlation between obsession with certain foods and types of relationship disorders. A craving for chocolate, for example, would code as a desire for romance and sensuality, while a desire for crunchy and salty foods would code as anger, disappointment or frustration. Tell me, what are you craving now?

Viewing porn can be tricky for women because only a select fraction of videos are made with their viewership in mind. Many facets of sexuality have been defined by the male gaze and male pleasure, so porn for women is still a relatively new category. Thankfully, there are ways women can find the content they desire. https://oasis2care.com/sexuality/finding-feminist-porn/

Have you ever heard that masturbation will cause hairy palms? (Spoiler alert: it won’t!) Most of us have grown up in societies and cultures that predominantly shame sex, except, perhaps for explicit baby making. This means the vast majority of us have faced shame for our sexual thoughts, feelings and behaviors at some point in our lives. This may have come from parents, relatives, peers, religion and/or the media, to name a few! Sources of Sexual Shame Some of this s...hame may have been purposeful - after all, many parents were shamed themselves, being told tall tales like, if you touch yourself, you’ll go blind. As adults, some are still so uncomfortable at the thought of their child being sexual, they use the exact same techniques. Other aspects of this shame may be indirect or unintentional. For instance, a shocked look on a parent’s face may become embedded in a child’s memory even if the parent wasn’t trying to make them feel bad on purpose. Further, we get messages from the media about where, when, how and with whom we should be having sex, and our own thoughts or feelings may not match up, leaving us wondering whether something is wrong with us! What's Normal and Healthy, Anyway? As an adult, you can cultivate the capacity to separate society’s shame from your own inner sense of what is right and wrong for you, personally. That is, as an adult you get to decide, or perhaps more accurately sense, boundaries between what does and does not feel good for you. However, it becomes difficult to gauge the difference between your own inner no and society’s no, without a sense of the range of normal and healthy sexual relating. What are some of the shame stories that you were able to let go of as an adult? . . . . #sextherapy #sexpodcast #sextherapist #relationships #podcast ##sexeducation

For people who want to pursue weight loss, whether for health reasons or to meet a certain beauty standard, restricting food intake seems to be the go-to logical, straightforward pathway to do so. The common rationalization behind this is as follows: restricting your food intake leads to less food ingested, and thereby fewer calories consumed. Fewer calories available lead to a calorie deficit in the body, and therefore, weight loss. Sounds pretty simple, right? However, the body is much more complex than this seemingly linear pathway and is subsequently not that easily manipulated (thankfully, or else imagine what harm we could do to ourselves if our bodies simply succumbed to our efforts to control it). http://bit.ly/2XkGyo3

The word victim is loaded in our society. Many associate victims with those that are weak, broken, helpless and unable to move on from a painful past. This perception is untrue, harmful to those who have experienced crimes committed against them, and may stunt their progress towards a healthier and happier future. Healing is possible, and it happens for many people each and every day. Today on the blog we’re exploring how victims move towards a life of surviving, thriving..., and moving forward beyond their experiences. http://bit.ly/2XzDiol

On this episode of the Sexology Podcast, I welcome Dr. Natalie Rosen to the show as we talk about some of the challenges faced by women who are struggling with female sexual interest arousal disorder (FSIAD) and its impact on their relationships. https://oasis2care.com//putting-the-spark-back-in-your-s/

After the energy and excitement of a brand new relationship has died down, it’s crucial to find ways to keep your libidos high and sex at the forefront of your brain . A pervasive myth about great sex is that it should happen naturally even after years of being together. In reality, a satisfying sex life takes effort. If you need clitoral stimulation to climax, as many people with vaginas do, let your partner know that. The more specific you can be with your feedback, the b...etter the chance that you will get your needs met. Don’t use oral sex for foreplay if it’s the main event for you. Many people, especially men, didn’t have sex education that taught them how important clitoral stimulation is for women. If you don’t speak up, you could be dooming yourself to sexual disappointment. Next, make sure you keep trying new things. Doing the same thing over and overeven if it’s having sexgets boring after a while. So, be adventurous! Consider talking about your fantasies, getting into BDSM, or picking up a mindfulness practice. The more you are willing to explore together, the better your sex life will be.

Many people had a religious upbringing during childhood, and the effects of growing up with religion last long into adulthood. Whether or not you’re still religious, it’s essential to take note of how certain faiths treat sexuality to combat unconscious habits that may keep you feeling ashamed of your sexual self. https://oasis2care.com//the-impact-of-religion-on-your-s/

In this episode of the Sexology Podcast, Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers speaks with me about overcoming religious shame around sex, taking a look at the historical context of abstinence and learning how to remain within your religion whilst having a healthy sex life. http://www.sexologypodcast.com//ep199-how-to-overcome-re/

There’s one thing that separates healthy, active, and continuously fulfilling sex lives from the rest, and that’s communication. Partners who can easily and frequently talk with each other about their subjective experiences when they have sex together can overcome just about any problem together. But what about people who are shy, sexually? Learning some helpful communication tips can significantly improve your sexual satisfaction! Talking About Sex Is ImportantEven for Sh...y People There’s no type of person or personality that just shouldn’t or can’t talk about sex. Talking about sex can be very empowering, but sometimes, negative experiences from childhood or religious backgrounds can make you feel like it’s easier to keep your mouth shut. But, sexual compatibility starts with great conversation, so building sexual communication skills is vital for everyone. Try Communication When You’re Alone The first step is admitting to yourself what you like. Can you say it out loud, when no one is around? If you don’t know, it’s fine to admit that, too. But sometimes shyness is a mask for someone who hasn’t had time to experiment enough to know what they like. If that’s not you, and you know precisely what you want, try saying it succinctly when no one is around. You may have a complicated relationship with what you find arousing, but don’t let that stop you. Try to say what you like out loud. Boost Your Sexual Confidence Sometimes, shyness comes from a lack of confidence. If you admit what you like, will your partner expect you to be an expert at it? The answer is probably not. But if they do, that’s unusual. Since everybody is different, and everyone likes different things, being an expert isn’t a part of the equation when trying a new sexual activity with a partner. Ask for feedback and then improvethat’s the quickest way to become an expert in your partner’s eyes. Another idea that helps build confidence is focusing on how you feel instead of how you look. You’re not making porn here, so forget what you look like and instead focus on the experience. How did you overcome your sexual shyness?

The media portrays humans, places, lifestyles and ideas all through a lens - sometimes in ways that are deceiving, inauthentic and untruthful. These messages can be interpreted by individuals in ways that are harmful - telling them they're flawed or not enough. Being aware of these messages, and deciding with one's own actions to fight back is just the beginning. Read on to find out how to keep the media from negatively imapcting your sense of self. https://oasis2care.com//media-body-dissatisfaction-and-e/
