Does She Still Want Me?
Lesbian relationship and sex expert Dr. Glenda Corwin answers our questions! Dear Dr. Glenda, Last night I got an email from a woman I was crazy about last year. I don’t know how to respond. Last year she said I was too clingy, and then she just stopped calling me back. I’ve worked hard to […]
Let’s Talk about Sex and Orgasms
One morning in my office a woman told me her biggest fear about beginning to date again was about sex; specifically, how to deal with the fact that orgasm had been so difficult with her last partner, and she just didn’t want to go through that again. That afternoon, another woman told me that she’d […]
Being Loving Creates More Love
Recently I attended a couples’ therapy training program, which was terrific–research-based, positive, practical.   And unexpectedly depressing, as they showed videos of elderly heterosexual couples holding hands and talking tenderly about their 50-70 years of wedded bliss.  How many us can identify? Never mind the sexual orientation–how many of us have that many years in that […]
Is Lesbian Bed Death Inevitable? We Think Not
Seven years ago a young woman came to my office for consultation about a very specific question. She asked “Do you think lesbian bed death is inevitable?â€Â Her story was sadly familiar. She had been living with her partner for 12 years, the past 5 without sex. She was unhappy about this, but her partner […]
I Wish I Could Quit You
It’s a great time of year for reflecting on what works well in your life and what doesn’t.  What to continue, or quit doing?   Some things seem obvious—addictive drinking, smoking, and eating are all bad for your health, so it would be good to quit. It’s just hard to do.  At least you can know […]
What’s new for 2014? Sex and Magical Thinking
Imagine you could have anything you want in 2014. Would sexual feelings be on your list? Whether alone or with a partner, would you like to feel more sexually awake, curious, open to intimacy? If wanting could make it happen, would you want to feel more sexual in 2014? The magic lies in saying to […]
Are You Ready for Love?
Lately “I’m not ready yet†has been coming up a lot. I’ve heard it–and said it myself-many times, and of course it usually makes sense. Everyone need time to let wounds heal, get re-oriented to new situations, settle in after upheavals. But when does “healing†become “hiding out?†How do you discern what’s truly in […]
Positive Body Image Leads to Better Sex
I often ask women to rank the most negative influences on their sexual relationship.  Over half of the time, “negative body image†heads the list.  We’re so trained to stand outside ourselves, judging our bodies–but to enjoy sex we need to enjoy how our bodies feel, not how they look.  So how do you make […]
Why You Need To Love Someone
When I first heard Elton John sing “You Gotta Love Someone†I remembered an incident of TMM (Temporary Moment of Maturity).  I’d been worrying about whether someone I cared for deeply reciprocated my feelings.  Then I realized that what really mattered the most, what would last forever with me, was that I’d let myself love […]
Lesbian Dating: Building Trust
Recently I talked with two women, “Susan†and “Karen.â€Â They had just started dating a couple months before, and seemed quite in lust. They were glowing and giggling, until the issue of “trust†came up. Susan: I just wish Karen would trust me more. She just can’t let herself lean on me. She’s been hurt […]
