      I think that long term relationships of a kinds (inlcuding lots of hetero couples) all the time and that there is usually other relational factors at play. I think its valid no matter how frequently or infrequently partners want to engage and theres no one size fits all as long as there is communication

      It doesn't exist.. check hetero couples.. how often do you hear about the woman not wanting to have intercourse after they've been with their boyfriend/husband for a while? VERY OFTEN. It just doesn't have a term 😂

    I'm gonna copy my comment from another video I commented on with the same topic:
    My wife and I had a period of the so-called "bed death". It lasted about 6 or 7 months where none of us where into it, none of us initiated anything, and about 2 months in I was freaked out. I was so scared that I wasn't gonna want sex with her again or that she didn't want me. We talked about it after about 3 months, and we where just in a place where sex was not a thing. We still loved each other and we still wanted to be togehter, but our "sex-drive" was just not present at that time. After a while it just clicked. We casually had sex one night without any build-up or anything, it just happened.
    Just give it a bit of time, talk about it, check in with each other, and most of all; don't put ANY pressure on it or on each other. It happens to many couples, especially in long-term relationships.
    After 12 years together we are still going strong ❤

    It's so great to hear about high+low sex drive relationships because it's so often that there's such an extreme on how women shouldn't want sex that much and be called a slut for wanting it, and on the other spectrum, when one partner has lower sex drive they have "issues". This is not the case! Healthy communication is key 💯

    #4:18 I wholeheartedly agree with this part of the interview.
    I was sexually assaulted twice & so whenever I’m on a date or even romantically involved with another woman, I don’t go out of my way to kiss them or start any form of sex because I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable or pressure but then my “exs” said it seems like I’m not sexually interested in them & it made them sad. 😕☹️

    • @madamluis2537
      @madamluis2537 2 месяца назад

      Even in straight relationships it’s almost always the women who withholds sex. Claiming lack of emotional support or because their partner doesn’t help with the kids/chores etc. which results in alot of married men just cheating.

    I struggle to see how Lesbian Death Bed differs in any way from hetro sex death. I enjoyed your talk with Casey and I have to agree that quality over quantity is far more important. I think Western culture is far more sex centered than most of the rest of the world. With forty years of marriage, I don't know any loving relationships that are still sex centered, and I know people from most walks of life. I think sex has been marketed like a product within Western culture.

    Without getting into the grayace/demi experience, I feel wildly seen by this.

      On the contrary Im loving this discussion, lesbian bed death was actually the reason why my ex and i ended things, we stared to fight a lot about the lack of sex. It made me feel like she was not attracted to me anymore, so its interesting now looking back at that relationship and listening in to this podcast. Thank you very much for the useful insights!

    It’s simple, men have on average 17-23 times the testosterone levels of women. This causes them to be the initiators of sex ( most times). Female sexuality is very often passive and responsive. Why do you think most men in heterosexual relationships often complain of lack of sex/ are more likely to be unsatisfied with the frequency of sex in their relationships?
    This is also observed in trans men who very often start seeking sexual relationships with men due to the effects of testosterone in them, after transitioning . This is despite the fact that they had been lesbians before transitioning. When interviewed they very often state that due to their recent heightened libido, they no longer have the patience to pursue women sexually and found men more willing to engage in intimacy .

  • @bastetowl3258
    @bastetowl3258 2 месяца назад +3

    you can’t compare lesbian and straight relationships. straight relationships also fizzle out sexually over time but the woman is usually either pressured into or just accepts giving “maintenance sex” to the husband. there’s rarely focus on the womens pleasure in straight sex. straight people will stay married for years and hate each other at the same time. as lesbians we respect ourselves and our time and dip if we are not compatible with a person anymore. we shouldn’t be judging our own relationships by straight male standards

    many can't afford to consult a therapist. We're in a world where psychological care is not recognized as a normal necessity. Insurance can cover physical illness but very few sessions for psy therapy. It's no wonder we don't learn about the communication between lesbians. We're also taught not to express about our sexual needs as females. Add to this the enmeshment of the lesbian community where everyone has dated somebody's gf at some point. Some group support might help some as well if only to deal with the drama that some lesbians create for whatever quirky trauma they're dealing with. Women have had complicated life experiences and trying to navigate the differences can be challenging. I prefer to stay single rather than deal with the lesbian diaspora of issues. Friends will suffice. This way I avoid it all and keep my sanity and peace. 😊

    I really appreciate the guests efforts to be progressive and inclusive, but if we’re talking about lesbians that’s a woman on woman relationship and it’s not people with vulvas It’s just women. Uplifting trans women doesn’t mean erasing biological women from our minds and vernacular.( opinion of bi woman )

I know this podcast is not political in the journalistic sense but it is morally bankrupt to talk about mental health of a minority meanwhile wearing a hat endorsing a party committing genocide or doing nothing to prevent Marcellus Williams execution. Honestly these blue-maga white cis LA lesbians are definitely NOT my community and I feel appalled for how clueless they appear, specifically bc they KNOW discrimination, brainwashing and gaslighting. What else do they do with their lives to not be aware of it all? smh

      I think that is a very fair criticism I don’t think they can see themselves in the Palestinians which is a shame because oppression anywhere is oppression everything for all. I do however think multiple things can be true at once.I think there is a lot of shoulds when it comes to third party voting and other initiatives and not a whole lot of actual plans of action. There isn’t much done to convince those who feel like they have no choice in a two party system.A lot of people agree that Biden’s admin is aiding in genocide but there are many problems that people face here and they are afraid. a lot of leftists have not done a great job at standing behind someone and showing people why they should vote for someone like Jill Stein especially when 3rd party never wins. Also a lot of leftists talk about Jill Stein and community and changing things & spend a lot of time giving theoretical steps but never any steps that actually exist or can exist in the timespan until this election. If the campaigning had started long ago I think more people would have been convinced but Jill Stein does not sound like a viable option and she will not win which is a given and might take votes in essential states. Our system needs to change there is no doubt about that but there is no organization and when people are scared they will act accordingly.
