I am so excited to have Licensed Marriage  and Family Therapist and Author, Laura Brotherson join me on the podcast this week.  So much of what I have learned has been from Laura.  We will be answering the question of what exactly auditory arousal is and ways to access it.  Most importantly, we will discuss the benefits that take place with verbal communication during sex. Simple words or phrases during lovemaking can bring in an entirely different dimension to your experience with your spouse. Learn how this can keep your busy and distracted brain engaged. These small auditory sounds or words in the bedroom may take your sexual experience to a whole new level.  So let’s do this.   Laura M.
