Summary

Sex is (obviously) a big deal for a lot of us, and it has a huge impact on a relationship. So as someone who works hard at providing people tools and perspectives on lasting, genuine wellbeing, it’s SO important to me that we get the best ideas, the real science, and the most beneficial tactics to use in regards to sex. To that end, I brought on Michaela Boehm in June, Dr. Lori Brotto two weeks before, and this week, Dr. Kristen Mark. We had a deep dive into what people in relationships can do to elevate their communication, sexual satisfaction, and tackle “desire discrepancy”. I encourage you to listen in with your partner. There’s a lot of good stuff in here. Let me know your take! Leave a rating and review or connect with on Insta @mantalks. Kristen Mark, PhD, MPH is a sex and relationships researcher, educator, and therapist.

She is affiliate faculty at the Kinsey Institute. Her research program centers around sexual well-being, specifically the maintenance of sexual and relationship satisfaction and sexual desire in long-term relationships, sexual function and dysfunction, and sexual desire discrepancy. She also engages in community advocacy around inclusive comprehensive sexual health education that integrates messages of sexual pleasure. Dr. Mark holds degrees in psychology, family science, biostatistics, and public health and her research and therapeutic approaches are as interdisciplinary as her training.
