Summary

Is your sex drive "too high"? "Too low"? Has it disappeared completely? Or is it all over the place? This week on Come Curious, Florence and Reed tackle one of the most asked (and most anxiety-inducing) questions in sex: is my libido normal? From pregnancy libido shifts and ADHD hyperfocus highs, to widow’s fire, medication side effects, birth control changes, and relationship mismatches — we unpack what actually influences desire… and why “normal” might be the wrong question altogether. We also answer your listener questions about: – Mismatched libidos in relationships – Losing your sex drive on the pill or antidepressants – ADHD peaks and troughs – Low libido from stress and parenthood – High libido when you’re trying to stay single – Thyroid issues and chronic pain Plus we recommend Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski — and dive into “brakes and accelerators” when it comes to desire.
