Men, Women, Sex, and Power – How Health, Confidence and Pleasurable Living Support Sexual Desire

Maintaining sexual desire throughout life can bring angst, sadness, and confusion to men and women of any age and in any stage of life. This lecture applies a new paradigm to describe the necessary prerequisites for sustained sexual desire, health, and satisfaction – regardless of age or partnered status. Six markers of emotional well-being and a commitment to leading a deeply sensual life on a daily basis are explored as necessary ingredients for sustained and satisfying sexual engagement. The importance of prioritizing health, giving and receiving undivided attention to ones’ self and beloved, and the integration of daily sensual sacraments are included in the lecture content. The inherent sexiness of self-empowerment, confidence, and health and their connection to sexual desire are included in the lecture content. A review of the coercive and destructive behaviors that erupt in the absence of emotional health and confidence and which lead to a loss of interest in sex altogether will be included. The lecture concludes with suggestions and recommendations for keeping ones sexual identity and activity alive, well, and easily accessible.
