Why We Need a New Position on Sex – With Dr. Juliana Hauser

Dr. Kelly Casperson, M.D.

8,389 views

I sat down with Dr. Juliana Hauser for an incredibly honest conversation about sex, arousal, and what it really takes to feel sexually confident. We dive into body acceptance, communication, and the work of unlearning everything we’ve been taught that doesn’t serve us.

We talk about why Viagra isn’t the answer for everyone, the gender gaps in sexual health, and why sexuality is not a luxury—it’s a part of your whole self.

If you’ve ever felt broken or disconnected, this episode is your reminder that you’re not.
— Kelly 💜

I'm 66, husband is 71. We are having the best sex of our marriage! Granted, with a lot of help - vaginal estrogen, systemic estrogen/progesterone & testosterone for me, some toys & he takes Viagra. We're committed to a twice weekly schedule because it bonds us, eases stress, & is playful. But it was hell getting here. I suffered for more than a decade with zero libido, extremely painful sex & other menopause symptoms. Once when I requested a prescription for vaginal estrogen, a PCP snapped at me and said, "are you sexually active?" like it was shameful and I was a slut. Never went to her again. But that's what it's like for women in the medical trenches, sad to say. No MD would EVER speak to a man like that.

I feel a need to address this whole issue of people needing "a purpose". This has been on my mind for a while and I'm quite certain that it comes from our upbringing in this capitalism system of training up children to be good worker bees, encouraging them to excel to make others proud, getting gold stars, rewards, etc. I think this is something we really need to work on as a society with the diminishing need for those worker bees. I think we should be encouraging children to pursue things that make them happy and to see their own happiness as the reward.

I have read your book and I have watched/listened to many of your podcast episodes. This one gave me chills and I feel so seen that I almost feel like I'm going to cry. Thank you thank you thank you - to both of you!

Patient: Please prescribe a 4 mg dose of Estradiol for me as I have found that until I reach that threshold, I can't achieve sexual arousal or orgasm.
Doctor # 1: I am not comfortable prescribing such a high dose for a woman your age (75). How about 0.05?
Patient: Please prescribe a dose of 4 mg Estradiol for me as research indicates that is the most effective dose for building bone. (citing paper).
Doctor 2: Of course. Good luck!
Maddening.

My new girlfriend says that this is the first time in her life that she feels safe, seen and understood! I am a widower in my 50's. I believe that this foundation allows her to have multiple Os etc.

I don't see links in the shownotes about arousal. Who is Caf and Jesse?

One comment on Amazon about her book : The sex education we all should have received. I think not only the baby boomers were left alone with it. What I was told, there was no need to explain, it all comes just naturally. So, why do we go to school if all comes just naturally?😢

Mother nature knew what she did and who can trust.

I'm not having shifty sex! Stop insulting my sex. I don't want to learn anything else and feel my way through it. Am I allowed to be happy about the sex I have? I'm on a cotton picking "journey" spending my "first week" with my cottin pickin' new phone. It's okay. You are striking out with me on this topic 😆 Sexual being? I just can't take that on as a characteristic of my sense of self. I am the boss of me. I will or won't have sex when and how I want. I better stop listening 😂 You keep making me angry 😂😂😂
