(Audio) Erotic Connection in Real Life: Love, Desire, and Long-Term Intimacy

In this episode of Dr. Jeff Talks About Sex & Intimacy, Dr. Jeffrey Albaugh will do a solo episode (the scheduled guest is unable to participate) to discuss what it really takes to keep desire alive in a long-term relationship. Desire naturally changes over time, especially as couples navigate stress, parenting, health changes, aging, busy schedules, and emotional disconnection. But losing spontaneity does not mean losing intimacy. Dr. Jeff will explore how emotional safety, curiosity, communication, playfulness, novelty, and intentional connection can help couples rediscover erotic energy and deepen their bond. Whether you are in a new relationship, have been together for decades, or are rebuilding intimacy after challenges, this episode offers compassionate and realistic tools for nurturing desire in everyday life. *The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization.

(Audio) The Six Principles of Sexual Health: Pleasure, Freedom & Safer Connection

What does it really mean to have a healthy sexual life? In this thoughtful and affirming episode, Jennifer Monninger, LCSW, CST joins Dr. Jeff to explore The Six Principles of Sexual Health, a framework developed by Doug Braun-Harvey and Michael Vigorito that has become foundational in modern sex therapy.  Jennifer will discuss how these principles—consent, nonexploitation, protection from HIV/STIs and unintended pregnancy, honesty, shared values, and pleasure—help people move away from shame and fear toward greater authenticity, intimacy, and sexual wellbeing. The conversation also explores the LGBTQ+ roots of this work, including how the AIDS epidemic shaped conversations around sexuality, stigma, and the right to sexual expression without judgment.  This episode offers a compassionate, inclusive, and sex-positive conversation for anyone interested in building a healthier relationship with sexuality—grounded not in fear, but in connection, agency, and pleasure. *The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization.

(Audio) A Place for Us as We Are: LQBTQ+, Faith, Identity & Belonging

What if belonging didn’t require leaving parts of yourself behind? In this Pride Month I am joined by Ann Russo, LCSW, MA, Theology for this episode, A Place for Us as We Are: LGBTQ+, Faith, Identity & Belonging. We explore a powerful and often overlooked path—one where LGBTQ+ individuals choose to remain within their faith and/or cultural communities, even when that journey is complex. At its heart, this episode speaks to a universal human need: to be seen, valued, and included without having to sacrifice who we are. In a time of growing division and disconnection, this conversation invites us to reimagine what it means to create communities where there is truly a place for all of us. *The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization.

(Audio) A Topical Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction: Eroxon

In this solo episode of Dr. Jeff Talks About Sex & Intimacy, I take a closer look at Eroxon, a newer over-the-counter treatment option for erectile difficulties that’s generating a lot of attention. Unlike traditional prescription medications, Eroxon is a topical gel applied directly to the penis and designed to work within minutes. But how does it actually work? Who is it best suited for—and who might not benefit? And how does it compare to well-known treatments like PDE5 inhibitors? I’ll break down the science behind Eroxon, discuss what the research shows about effectiveness and safety, and share practical guidance for men and their partners who are exploring options for improving erectile function.  *The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization.
