Summary
Your biggest obstacle to mind-blowing pleasure isn’t your partner’s inability to find your g-spot or your inability to find a partner or your limited drawer of sex toys...it’s actually your thoughts.
If you find yourself stressing about your appearance during sex (solo or with a partner!), worrying about your partner’s pleasure more than your own, or feeling like your desire is dependent on whether someone desires you, tune in to this interview with August McLaughlin from Girl Boner Radio. In it, we explore some common orgasm-blocking thoughts, and how to rewire your brain so you can jump-start your libido.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism, |
| 0:14.0 | and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. And now here's your |
| 0:19.3 | host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach, Carla Lohanthile. |
| 0:26.3 | Okay, my chicken, so I want you to imagine this. You're so very close to someplace you want |
| 0:36.0 | to go. Maybe it's Hawaii, or maybe it's an orgasm. It's an orgasm. We're talking about |
| 0:44.4 | orgasms. You're so close to an orgasm. And then your brain starts saying shit like you're |
| 0:51.5 | taking too long. What if I smell or taste weird? Did we turn off the stove? I just want to go to bed. |

| 1:10.4 | the podcast, I am talking about orgasm blocking thoughts. This is a release of an interview that I |
| 1:16.7 | originally did on Girl, Bone, or Radio, which quite the name with the orgasm, a glaucoma, who is |
| 1:23.2 | amazing. And this was actually quite a while ago. We recorded this episode and we've never shared |
| 1:28.4 | it here. And so I'm super excited for you all to hear. I think, especially as it gets at |

| 1:47.7 | And now I'm 40 and don't even know what the young people say. But obviously our brains are our |
| 1:52.6 | most important sex organs. They have a lot to do with how we experience sex and what kind of |
| 1:58.0 | thought patterns can either kind of help us enjoy or get in the way. And of course, patriarchy is a |
