Wanting It More is about empowering women (and the men who love them) to heal from cultural messages so that they can discover true pleasure and connection in their sexual relationship and marriage. Labels like, “low libido” and “low sex drive” simply focus on the wrong thing. Women are NOT low in anything if they struggle to want and enjoy sex. The problem is they aren’t free to discover themselves without the shame and guilt that have been heaped on them by societal expectations and unintentional pressure from men. I'm Janna Denton Howes, a Marriage & Intimacy Educator and Desire Expert. I've dedicated my life to understanding the complexities of intimacy in relationships, particularly from the female perspective. I've developed the Wanting It More program, which has brought comfort, understanding, and ultimately, improvement to thousands of women struggling with low libido.If you’re looking for a fresh perspective that leaves you feeling empowered, hopeful and curious to create a sex life in your relationship that feels 100% safe and comfortable FOR YOU- you’re in the right place. If you’re a husband trying to understand and find solutions to your wife’s lack of interest in the bedroom and learn about your role in this dynamic, this podcast is for you too! Here’s to transforming infrequent, obligation and duty sex into an experience that leads to genuine unity, connection, and pleasure. You are not broken. You are not alone. There is so much hope.

The Effects of Church Stigma & Hysterectomy on Low Desire - with Raina | Ep. 88
We delve into Raina's journey of rediscovering her desire for sex within her marriage. Despite a healthy upbringing with decent sexual education, positive body image, and safe and secure sexual experiences, Raina found herself losing interest in intimacy with her husband after getting married.
After starting a personal journey which she affectionately calls ‘Raina’s Religious Rebellion’ she began exploring how some of the concepts taught by her church around sex in marriage were harmful. This knowledge allowed her to get mad but didn’t offer real solutions. She started therapy to confront her sexual misgivings, which gave her the why but didn’t fully explain her feelings of low desire. She also had an unexpected hysterectomy, which made her body feel foreign and strange. It wasn’t until Janna’s program that she was able to put all the pieces of her sexual history together and have it make sense, providing her with a comprehensive understanding of her feelings.
Raina shares her ongoing efforts to reconnect with her husband through curious, playful, and meaningful steps, allowing her desire to gradually return. She also talks about her recent hysterectomy, the intricacies of recovery, and her ongoing healing to this day.

Customer Reviews
Great information
There is great information in every episode to help us increase our physical pleasure.
Wanting it more- W.I.M.
I paid Janna $1,500.00 USD to take her WIM course. My wife and I attended every class and worked the program as best we could. It’s been about 4 months since the start, and I’m feeling like it was a big waste of money. Nothing has changed except I’m $1500 poorer.
Needless to say, I don’t recommend this course to people who want help in their sex lives.
Everyone needs this information
It can be hard to talk about sex, especially if you grew up with sex being a taboo subject. Janna is so knowledgeable and it’s amazing to be able to learn these things that I was missing from my sexual education, that I didn’t know I was missing. Being able to learn and grow without shame is bringing me peace.
