I think it's time to talk more about orgasm! We spend a lot of time at Bare Marriage showing how BAD teaching can lead us to really bad outcomes--no sexual pleasure; distance in marriage; even sexual pain. But we don't just want to show you what can mess you up. We...
What happens to your ability to orgasm after menopause? In the last few months I’ve talked to three women in my social circle who say that orgasm has completely stopped once they started menopause, though it was pretty easy before. For one woman it’s been ten years...
A healthy vagina is lubricated, supple, and elastic. It's supposed to be able to stretch (for obvious reasons, like both penetrative sex and childbirth), but then it's also supposed to go back into place afterwards. It's supposed to get lubricated and stay at least a...
With thanks to Femallay, our sponsor for the sexual confidence series. I hate hot flashes. Even your hands sweat. The back of your neck gets clammy. You want to strip in public–which is generally not a good idea. You start to forget things. I’m starting to make...
One of the reasons women often struggle with sexual confidence is that we think that sex is something that we give to men. We think that sex is primarily a male need (after all, in Love & Respect, Emerson Eggerichs said, "If your husband is typical, he has a need...
It's June 9, which means it's International Lovemaking Day! (If some of you don't get that, it's 6/9. I feel like some 13-year-old boy giggling at a sexual innuendo, but there you go). Dan Purcell, the creator of the Intimately Us app, was a guest on the podcast last...
"When I orgasm, it's okay, but it's not amazing or anything." I've heard that from many women in the comments this month, and Keith and I talked about one such reader question on the podcast last Thursday. I was actually going to launch a new series today on emotional...
Who doesn't want to have an orgasm? We've been talking all month about orgasms--why it can be difficult for women; what can hold some women back; what makes it more likely to happen.And it's all been leading up to today--the launch of the Orgasm Course!...
Often what we think about sex gets in the way of great sex. We're in the middle of our orgasm series, and we're less than one week out from releasing our Orgasm Course! I'm so excited (though I still have a ton to do!). One of the things that we've talked about...
Is orgasm elusive because the whole time you're worrying that you're taking too long? We're in the middle of our October orgasm series, leading up to the release of The Orgasm Course on October 26! I spent most of the week at my daughter Katie's house right now while...
About a quarter of women never reach orgasm, or very rarely reach orgasm, when they have sex with their husbands. Another quarter orgasm only sometimes. According to our survey of 20,000 Christian women, only 48% of women is orgasm reliable. During the month of...
Can research point us to what makes women more orgasmic--and what makes orgasm less likely? Rebecca here on the blog today! My mother, my sister and I are going full tilt creating The Orgasm Course (now there's a sentence I never thought I'd have to type), and as I...
Over half of Christian women report that orgasm is, at best, a hit and miss thing. Many can't reach orgasm at all. This month, I want to dedicate my series to orgasm--understanding what it is; understanding why we have roadblocks; and culminating in the release of our...
If I were going to make a marriage app for couples to spice up their marriage, what would I focus on? I've often wondered that. I've thought about how I'd encourage fun "games" where couples get challenges to do more foreplay, but in a fun way, that helps them explore...
Are you somebody who would actually love to have period sex? I've been writing about periods all month, and last week we looked at period sex, mostly from the perspective that a woman should not feel obligated to give sexual favors then if she doesn't want to. But...
