Unlocking Her Desire The Art and Science of Women's Pleasure featured image

Intimacy is far more than just a physical act—it’s an essential component of emotional connection, self-discovery, and well-being. One passionate advocate for redefining intimacy and sexual wellness is Susan Bratton, a sex expert who has dedicated her career to teaching heart-centered, conscious, and passionate lovemaking. With a focus on breaking free from the harmful influences of pornography and societal norms, Susan works to empower both men and women to embrace healthier, more fulfilling sexual connections. Her approach goes beyond just physical pleasure, integrating body, mind, and spirit to create truly transformative experiences. Through regenerative therapies and sexual biohacking, Susan helps people rediscover their vitality, enhance their confidence, and improve their overall health and longevity. At 63, she shares how her own journey in sexual wellness has not only brought her the most fulfilling experiences of her life but also contributed to her lasting confidence and vitality.

In a candid conversation, Susan also shared her deeply personal journey of rediscovering intimacy in her marriage after years of sexual dissatisfaction. For over a decade, she struggled with achieving orgasm during intercourse, leading to a decline in her desire for intimacy and emotional distance from her husband. Traditional therapy didn’t offer the right solutions, as it often focused on dysfunction rather than pleasure. The turning point came when Susan and her husband attended sex workshops that completely transformed their relationship and sexual life. These workshops focused on fostering connection, exploring foreplay, and understanding the nuances of female arousal. This shift inspired Susan and her husband to dedicate themselves to teaching others how to reignite intimacy, through published guides and programs. They believe that sexual growth, much like any other skill, requires practice, mindfulness, and open communication. A recurring theme in their work is understanding the fundamental differences in male and female arousal patterns. Susan emphasizes the importance of patience, trust, and creating safe spaces for women to fully engage in intimacy, offering techniques like the “Sexual Soulmate PACT” to guide couples in communicating their needs.

As they explore ways to enhance sexual wellness and connection, Susan and her colleagues discuss various methods for overcoming common challenges like dryness, loss of sensation, and limiting beliefs about sex. They highlight the power of exploration, suggesting a “Sex Life Bucket List” to help couples explore different forms of erotic pleasure together. This list can include over 20 types of orgasms and a range of techniques and tools to keep intimacy fresh and exciting. Overcoming self-judgment is another key theme, particularly as women age and their bodies change. Susan advocates for self-acceptance and openness to new experiences, encouraging individuals to embrace their sexuality without shame or criticism. For those seeking tangible solutions, the conversation also touches on biohacking techniques for improving genital health and sexual pleasure. The use of nitric oxide supplements, vaginal estrogen or DHEA creams, and natural lubrication products like FOREA’s CBD-based line are suggested to enhance blood flow, tissue elasticity, and comfort during intimacy. Additionally, devices like red-light therapy tools for intravaginal rejuvenation are recommended to improve pelvic tone and address issues like incontinence.

One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is the importance of intentionality in intimacy. For women balancing the demands of motherhood, busy schedules, and personal well-being, making time for pleasure-focused activities is essential. Susan suggests that scheduling sex can feel like a chore unless it’s tied to something exciting and meaningful, such as planning a special activity or date night. By creating a “sex life bucket list” and focusing on what truly brings joy and fulfillment, couples can make intimacy feel spontaneous and fun. Whether through self-care, biohacking, or open communication, Susan’s insights emphasize that great sex isn’t just possible—it can continuously improve, leading to greater satisfaction, health, and vitality throughout life.
