Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Justin Le Miller. He's a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute and an internationally recognized sex educator. And today we're going to focus primarily on his book, Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How It Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life, and we're going to talk

about sexual fantasy. So Dr. Le Miller, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Hi Ricardo.

Thanks for having me. So tell us first, perhaps just to introduce the topic here, what is a sexual fantasy and what counts as such? So a sexual fantasy is basically a mental image or thought that turns you on. And this is something that happens while you're awake and conscious.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
