Episode 451: The Pleasure Keys Process to Reclaiming Connection

What if the secret to saving your relationship isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you, but about learning to deeply receive pleasure instead of constantly giving? Rebecca Greene sits down with somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor to tackle desire discrepancy - one of the most common relationship challenges. Susan shares her revolutionary Pleasure Keys Process and reveals why traditional approaches to "mismatched libido" fail, offering a transformative framework that helps women reclaim their sexuality and couples rekindle passion. Key Takeaways: ➤ Reframe "Low Libido" as Education Gap: Most desire discrepancy stems from lack of sexual education - women need about 21 minutes of warm-up time while men typically need only 2-7 minutes. ➤ Master the Three N's - Notice, Name, Negotiate: Learn to notice sensations in your body, name what you want and need, and negotiate those desires with your partner. ➤ Women Must Learn to Receive: Instead of defaulting to constant giving, women need to practice being receivers in the bedroom until giving becomes a natural overflow. ➤ Shame Starts Early and Shows Up Everywhere: Sexual shame often begins in childhood and manifests as disconnection from pleasure, faking orgasms, or complete avoidance of intimacy. ➤ Expand Your Definition of Sex: Moving beyond penetration to "pleasure, connection and enjoyment" opens up more opportunities for intimacy between partners. Powerful Quotes from Susan: "You are not broken, and it's not all your fault. Most women who are labeled 'low libido' are actually dealing with a lack of education about how their bodies work differently than men's bodies." "If we want to bring the fire back online, we need to learn how to be receivers. Your husband would probably be super thrilled if you knew what you wanted and he could do something to your body that would make you moan with pleasure - that's the hottest thing in the world to just about any man on the planet."
