Dr. Ogden:
So I can talk about this from my experience as a therapist, as a woman, as a colleague, as a person of this planet that it follows as the ninth day when you feel good about yourself, when you have self-esteem, when you are excited about your life, then your sexuality is going to feel better. And in fact one of the great secrets, I don’t tell this to everybody, but I will tell it to you–sex is not separate from your life, that whatever is going on in your life is going to affect your sexuality and vice versa.
Sex is energy just like spirituality is energy or anger is energy or in a sense hunger is energy, certainly emotional hunger. So we need to understand that sexuality and life are partners.
