*This episode explores human sexuality and is intended for mature listeners.
Sexual arousal can mean many different things to many different people. A quick walk through the local ‘adult’ store can be an eye-opening experience for some and offer a giggle for others. No matter what turns you on, the root of a healthy sexual experience is psychological safety. Our minds and bodies work together when it comes to enhancing happiness.
To expose the mind-body connection to sexual health and well-being, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with the Assistant Professor at the Department of Intelligent Systems Engineering at Indiana University and an Assistant Research Scientist at the Kinsey Institute, Dr. Greg Lewis.
Greg offers a spin on the way we look at our sexuality, how we express it, and how it is connected to psychological safety.
