03/12 Let’s Talk about Sex

Quote From: gwarrior6

 

Another sex show already?  I'm glad it's dealing with adults.  I always like hearing from Masterson. she's a pretty good source.

 

In addition to  sexual compatibility, there might be a physical or psychological component in play.  Hypoactive sexual desire disorder or inhibited SDD-

 

"Inhibited sexual desire (ISD) refers to a low level of sexual interest resulting in a failure to initiate or respond to sexual intimacy [...

A diagnosis of hypoactive sexual desire disorder refers to a persistent or recurring lack of desire or an absence of sexual fantasies"

 

http://psychologytoday.com/conditions/sexdesire.html

 

Also:

 

"Physical illnesses and some medications may also contribute to ISD, particularly when they produce fatigue, pain, or general feelings of malaise. Hormone deficiencies may occasionally be implicated. Psychological conditions such as depression and excessive stress may inhibit sexual interest.

 

Commonly overlooked factors include insomnia or inadequate amounts of sleep, resulting in fatigue. ISD may also be associated with other sexual dysfunctions, and sometimes may be caused by them. For example, the woman who is unable to have orgasm or has pain with intercourse, or the man who has erection problems (impotence) or retarded ejaculation, may lose interest in sex because it is commonly associated with failure or is not very pleasurable."

It's difficult to put a definition on "too much sex", as there are people who just have a really high libido and how high is "too high"?  I can't find an exact amount that is too much- it depends on the situation and that person's partner's sex drive and compatibility.

 

 

 

 To be honest, I saw this show and thought "Thank Goodness" this is dealing with adults, I don't think I could deal with another board like that one.
I like Dr. Masterson too, she's very informative and down to earth and these shows do tend to be fun to watch.

In her opening statement, Robin spoke about sex being painful because she has interstitial cystitis.  This is a vey real and very painful ailment  and it was brushed over  and ignored like she never mentioned it. She said she has flare ups after sex and has wound up in the hospital. This alone is is enough to make her fearful of not wanting to have sex, but Dr. Masterson never even brought it up. Interstitial cystitis is a very real ailment and Tom should be more compasionate of Robin when she has a flare up because sex can be extremely painful when you have this ailment.
