0116: Waldinger’s Contributions to Sex Therapy with Dr. Jim Pfaus

Disclaimer: Natasha originally recorded this podcast for her Healing Sols podcast.

Fascinating discussion with researcher, neurobiologist, and sexologist, Dr. Jim Pfaus, about the work of late psychiatrist, Dr. Marcel Waldinger and his significant contributions to the field of sex therapy. We better understand and conceptualize conditions such as Persistent Genital Disorder, Rapid or Premature Ejaculation, and Delayed Ejaculation/Orgasm as well as effects of SSRI’s on sexual response due to his work. You will get a great anatomical lesson on how our bodies respond to sexual stimuli as well as a clearer understanding of how arousal and desire show up in human bodies and the many things that affect them.
