    PBF #31: After The Affair - Regaining Trust

    PBF #31: After The Affair - Regaining Trust

    Infidelity is one of life's most hurtful and difficult experiences to survive, leaving deep emotional wounds in its wake. The resulting suspicion and insecurity can lead couples into a downward spiral that could prove hard to recover from if the issues aren’t addressed. 

    It takes time for those affected by betrayal to trust again, but it isn't impossible; with open communication comes hope for joy once more and real intimacy in new relationships down the road.

    Today, Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg will guide us through the healing process after an affair, and how we can use understanding to repair trust in our relationships and confidence in ourselves.

    PBF #30: Orgasmic Difficulty

    PBF #30: Orgasmic Difficulty

    10 percent of women have never had an orgasm. For many women, even those who have had orgasms, it’s not always easy. And only about a third of women experience orgasm regularly during intercourse. Female sexuality is more complicated than male sexuality, and it involves more effort in order to climax. It also doesn’t help that we live in a society where the thought of women being sexual beings is still a foreign idea for some. This thinking can cause shame, especially for women who are trying to have an orgasm through masturbation. But there should be absolutely no shame (ever!) pleasuring yourself and enjoying it.

    Today we are joined by PBF Medical Advisory Board members Dr. Cheryl Iglesia, Dr. Christine Vaccaro, Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg, Dr. Michael Krychman. and Dr. Kathleen Novicki to talk about the female orgasm, steps you can take if you’ve never achieved orgasm, and the importance of understanding your body and what makes sex pleasurable for you.
