You’ve heard of mindfulness in the context of meditation, eating, and daily reflection. But, are you familiar with sexual mindfulness? This week on All Together: The Family Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella speaks to family life professor Chelom E. Leavitt, J.D., Ph.D. to find out more.
Currently teaching at Brigham Young University in the School of Family Life, Chelom E. Leavitt, J.D., Ph.D. previously received her PhD from The Pennsylvania State University. Her research focuses on sexual function and pleasure, and particularly, how mindfulness during sexual interactions may benefit the individual and the couple. Additionally, Chelom E. Leavitt, J.D., Ph.D. is interested in how women experience the sexual relationship, and how they add to the sexual experience.
In this episode, Chelom E. Leavitt, J.D., Ph.D. describes sexual mindfulness as the act of being aware in the present moment, and being curious rather than judgemental. She reveals that couples with higher levels of sexual mindfulness experienced an easier transition to parenthood, higher parental efficacy, more enjoyment as parents, and connection with their baby.
Together, Marie and Chelom E. Leavitt, J.D., Ph.D. weigh up various activities and exercises that often prove useful in practicing sexual mindfulness. So, tune in this week to learn more about what sexual mindfulness can do for your marriage and family.
