And I'm your host, board-certified female urologist, Dr. Casperson.

Hey guys, welcome back to You're Not Broken.

Today I'm going to talk about easy wins. So I think a big reason why people don't go to

the doctor to talk about their sexual health needs or their pelvic needs is because

they're worried that number one, there can't be anything done for them or number two,

it's going to be this huge process.

You know, a lot of times it's not a magic wand

and it's not a magic pill to fix things.

But sometimes the easy wins are just so obvious

to somebody who does this all the time

that today I wanted to talk about the easy wins

to be like, there are some simple things that can sometimes really change things around.

The first easy win is when a woman comes to me for a pain with sex and she doesn't use lube.

So super easy win.

Loeb can be so easy of a fix for friction.

So sex is friction. Friction is what feels good, but also friction is what doesn't feel good.

So what Lube does is it just makes the friction feel good.

So the scientific name for this is called arousal non-concordance.

And it means you can feel really turned on but have difficulty getting wet or in a male difficulty getting erect.

And so what happens is a woman can be turned on but not have enough lubrication.
