Manage episode 242243473 series 2427085
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.
