    Sex for Saints
    Sex for Saints

    As a Certified Sex & Marriage Coach, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Amanda Louder helps conservative Christian women love their sex life!

    In this podcast, Amanda helps women embrace their sexuality so that they can become the woman they were created to be. She teaches you how to integrate sexuality into your marriage in a loving and healthy way, get rid of the drama and negative emotions around sex in your marriage, and develop a better relationship to yourself, your spouse, and your sexuality.

    Episode 422 – Slow Down to Connect: The Science of Sexual Mindfulness with Dr. Chelom Leavitt

    What if the key to a more connected, nourishing sex life is simply slowing down? In this episode of Sex for Saints, I will talk with sex researcher Chelom Leavitt about sexual mindfulness, shame, emotional connection, and why so many women struggle to feel fully present in their sexuality. We will explore how curiosity and non-judgment can transform not only our sexual experiences, but also the way we relate to ourselves, our spouses, and even our faith. We’ll also discuss women’s arousal, emotional safety, vulnerability in marriage, and why slowing down may be one of the most healing things couples can do for intimacy.

    Here’s more information about Dr. Chelom Leavitt:

    Dr. Chelom Leavitt received her PhD from Penn State. She studies sexuality in committed relationships and examines how mindfulness during sex is associated with positive outcomes for men and women. Her recent publications include work on sexual mindfulness, how loneliness impacts relationships, forgiveness, infidelity, and men’s and women’s sexual response cycles and orgasm. Chelom is married to David Leavitt, and they have nine children.
