We wanted to see what was out there in the way of scientific research about sex and intimacy and use the research to compare it to our own experience and try to build this case for the link between intimacy, the orgasm gap and addiction, both as a cause of addiction and as a result of addiction.
Ever thought about how the gap in sexual satisfaction could be tied to addiction? In this eye-opening episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Matt and Sheri Salis tackle this often-ignored connection. Matt, with his usual candidness, admits that during his years of alcoholism, he only knew one thing: he enjoyed sex more when drinking.
But now, armed with research and personal experience, the couple dives deep into the 'orgasm gap'—the disparity in sexual satisfaction between men and women—and its ties to addiction. They start off by addressing a listener's question, setting the stage for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is bold. The duo doesn't shy away from discussing how sexual dissatisfaction can both fuel addiction and be a consequence of it.
They even bring back Kathy to talk about the role of public policy and education in narrowing this gap, emphasizing how early sex education can play a crucial role in addiction prevention. Sheri and Matt also touch on the importance of self-esteem and open communication in relationships affected by addiction. They explain how these elements are essential for rebuilding intimacy and trust.
By the end of the episode, they advocate for more funding in research that connects addiction and sexual health, making a compelling case for a more integrated approach to recovery. This episode isn't just about pointing out problems; it's about finding solutions. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in to hear Matt blush just a little when he talks about the clitoris and stay for the deep, meaningful discussions that could change how you view addiction and recovery.
