Hey friend, welcome to another episode of Java with Julie. I'm Julie, and this podcast is a production of authentic intimacy and ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality. Well, today we have a fun show for you. We are going to be talking about the mystery of female sexuality. So grab your Java and get ready.

My guest is Dr. Deborah Taylor.

Deborah has been a therapist for 40 years and a certified sex therapist for 32 years.

In addition to her work in private practice, she teaches at the Institute for Sexual Wholeness,

which helps Christians get their certification and sex therapy.

So we all know that female sexuality is complicated.

We're going to talk about why it's so complicated.

We'll look at why some women believe that sexual pleasure was created for men and not for them.

And also, we'll talk to women who are struggling with sexual pleasure and mention a few

ways that you can begin thinking positively about sex. And guys, we're going to give you some

advice on how you can gently and genuinely prompt your wife to be more sexual with you.

Now, these are not easy questions, and you're going to hear Deborah and I go back and forth

on why this might work or may not work, and that's okay.

We're not here to solve the mystery of female sexuality, as if we could do that.

But we do want to remind you that a great sex life is about loving each other well through

the journey and communicating your needs to one another.

If you're looking for some follow-up resources, we're going to link to a few blogs.

One is called Five Things You Need to Know About Women, Orgasm, and Intimacy.
