  • Sexually Curious... What Men Want to Ask A Sex Therapist
    Sep 24 2025

    "Why do I have a sex drive difference from my partner and what can I do about it? "
    "Why does my wife never seem to initiate sex?"
    "What can I do about my anger and frustration around being sexually rejected?"
    "How come I can't always tell if my wife has had an orgasm, and what can I do?"

    If you've asked one of these questions, you're not alone! Men are curious and want to have deep, intimate relationships, but sometimes can't find the answers. Doug interviews Leslie in this episode to get to the bottom of some of these questions.

    There's more!!!

    Many other topics and questions arose during the talk including:
    - The difference between men's and women's sexual fantasies and sexual desire.
    - What is underneath men's sexual frustration and the personal and relational "fix" for it?
    - The role of fear of not getting sexual needs met and men's sex "drive".
    - "Does pornography work as an antidote to a difference in sexual desire?"
    - How couples can work through and negotiate their sexual life in all its nuances.
    - Why men's pursuit of their partners often fails.
    - The truth about "sexual incompatibility" and what to do.

    The episode takes an unexpected turn in the latter part of the episode when Doug asks about why affairs happen and if men (and women) can get the passion back after the affair.

    This is a lively discussion that will help the listener become Better, Smarter & Sexier!

  • Men and Sex - Lovers and Leaders
    Jun 13 2025

    Leslie has the joy of interviewing Doug in the second episode of Men and Sex.

    The conversation is deep and rich. We uncover what healthy sexuality is for men and what is underneath men's desires.

    "Most men want to be better men" but don't necessarily know the path in the intimate, sexual, interpersonal and relational arenas.

    Men are lovers and leaders but need to unearth and explore identity, emotions, the heart of a man, the role of porn and becoming whole as a man. Doug emphasizes the critical importance of men understanding their own complexity so they can live fully, powerfully and confidently in and out of the bedroom. Many men lean on sex as their primary avenue for the management of their emotions, releasing stress and feeling alive and connected, but must reconcile what sex is about for them, what it really can be and who they are as men.

    Lastly, the "GREAT WANT" for men (that both men and women hold) is highlighted.

  • Imagination & Fantasy in the Bedroom
    Mar 13 2025
    My husband, Doug Gustafson, interviews me as we dip into the fascinating world of fantasy and imagination in the bedroom. There are many nuances and layers to this topic, but I want you to know that you are a creative and imaginative person in and out of the bedroom! Let yourself ponder that. Considering yourself and what you want to do with your inner life enhances you personally and could potentially improve your experience as a sexual person and a sexual partner. What's fantasy all about, and what different kinds of fantasy are there? Why would we need fantasy to enhance our sexual experience? What do couples need to do to have a healthy fantasy? Are there any you shouldn't be having? What about the "moral" issue? Join us as we talk about all this and more, and encourage you to become smarter, healthier, and sexier!

  • Cultivating Sensuality and Erotic Energy with Cindy Scharkey
    Jan 6 2025

    Sexuality, Sensuality, Erotic… all words that women tend to shy away from.

    BUT… Cindy Scharkey and I are here to empower women to put aside their fear and embrace cultivating sensuality and erotic energy in one's life and relationships.

    This episode hits on what's blocking women's expression of sensuality and ways to overcome it. To have the freedom to voice what they need and to seek pleasure. Put the work of YOURSELF on the forefront. Let yourself have what you long for: in yourself, in your life, in your sexuality, and in your relationships.

    Cindy Scharkey, RN, BSN, is passionate about breaking the silence surrounding women's sexuality. Through her workshops, speaking events, and private consultations, she equips women with both content and self-confidence to express, experience, and enjoy their sexuality. She also empowers parents with knowledge and confidence to be their child's primary sexual health educator. Cindy offers sex education and resources through her free monthly newsletter and blog at www.cindyscharkey.com.

    And she just launched her new book – Permission for Pleasure: Tending Your Sexual Garden
