us about SSRI, your experience with that.
15:29
So what happened is I started going to ISWISH thanks to Suzette saying, yes, sex therapists are welcome.
15:36
It's okay for you to come.
15:38
And I took notes.
15:40
I learned a lot about the biological.
15:42
And maybe six months later, I went on an SSRI for anxiety.
15:47
I'd been anxious my whole life.

I mean, so so tell us is that does the program through the rebuilding your orgasm? Does that does it help address any of those problems?
21:52
And hopefully someday somebody will really look at
21:55
it and study it closer.
21:57
Yes.
21:58
I can tell you as someone, as the patient who used the cream, right? Like it is definitely not placebo.
22:06
Like you put it, I put it on my clitoris and a little bit on my inner lips too.
22:12
And I can literally feel myself getting engorged.
22:18
Like I feel it too.
24:52
Business as well.
8:45
Yeah.
8:47
I'm sorry to interrupt, Lori, but I had to tell that story.
8:49
It's funny.
8:49
You can all see me get red right now.
8:53
I don't know if there's video, but if you all can see it, nobody else can.
8:57
But thank you.
8:59
So I did.

Does your clit get bigger? Can you see
16:40
But then now
16:41
I knew what was happening.
16:43
Right.
16:43
And I have Suzette in my life.
16:45
But for other women, especially those who weren't warned about this, who don't know what's happening, who think or who know what's happening and have been told there's nothing you can do, choose between depression and anxiety and an orgasm, then that's when the anxiety comes up.
17:03
It's like, can I overcome this? Is it going to happen? Is it going to happen? Maybe it'll happen this time.
17:08
And we know that being up in your head worrying is, makes you less sexually responsive and orgasmic because you have to be fully absorbed in your body to have pleasure and orgasm.

So if someone is experiencing this right now, what are the real options available?
