Roughly 90% of women do not achieve orgasm with unassisted intercourse, and about 50% of women fake orgasm.  In this podcast I interview Dr. Elisabeth Lloyd, a true giant in sexology research, whose 2005 book "The Case of the Female Orgasm" created a public storm, including a major New York Times article, an appearance of "The View" and even a skit on Saturday Night Live.  Her research led to the finding that one factor, and only one factor, is associated with whether a woman has orgasm with intercourse and why lesbian women have better sex than straight women.

Politicians campaign on topics like taxes, abortion, and gun rights, but often unforeseen catastrophes like 9/11, COVID, or war have massive impact on our  lives and test the true mettle of a leader. Dr. Mike Matthews, Professor of Engineering Psychology at West Point and author of seven books on character, talks with Linda about how to assess the character of a leader . . . and why it matters so much, especially in times of crisis.

When parents and in-laws are overly demanding, setting boundaries is obviously essential . . . but easier said than done.  High expectations at holiday time can make the problem especially acute.  Linda interviews Dr. Daniel Lobel on setting boundaries, with a particular focus on emotionally fragile or difficult relationships.
