009 Jennifer Matesa on Sober Sex - a podcast by Liv & Tiffany

In this episode we talk about something that we all experience in early recovery: How to have sober sex. We talk to expert Jennifer Matesa on how our sex drive changes in recovery, the problems and anxieties we experience, orgasms, self-pleasure, and feeling at home in our bodies. 

“Recovery is attuning to your own wellness.” 

Jennifer Matesa, LSW is author of four nonfiction books about body, mind, and human well-being, the most recent of which is Sex in Recovery: A Meeting between the Covers (Hazelden, 2016). She is a licensed social worker and psychotherapist and has spoken and written widely about health and well-being. Her blog about addiction and recovery, Guinevere Gets Sober (http://guineveregetssober.com), was one of the first websites to address addiction as a public-health issue, and it has always been dedicated to giving the public reliable information and commentary about substance use disorders without advertising or fees. Her early commitment to removing the stigma from addiction and recovery earned her a fellowship at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

You can find all of these books on Amazon, via this link.

"Sex in Recovery is a work long overdue. In a frank, personal, and highly personable way, Jennifer Matesa opens a topic usually only whispered about: the essential role of sexual healing in sobriety. Many readers will be grateful to her."

—Gabor Maté, MD, author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
