	Description:		In this episode of the BetterSex Podcast, host and sex therapist Jessa Zimmerman discusses the concept of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). Jessa delves into why she believes HSDD should not be classified as a disorder, arguing that a lack of sexual desire is influenced by various legitimate obstacles such as trauma, body image issues, relationship struggles, and larger life concerns. She explains the distinction between proactive and reactive desire, emphasizing that reactive desire is a common and normal experience. Jessa rejects the notion that low sexual desire is a pathological condition and offers resources for those navigating desire discrepancies in their relationships. 00:00 Introduction to Better Sex Podcast 00:44 Host's Soapbox: Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder 01:08 Understanding Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder 01:58 Factors Affecting Sexual Desire 04:26 Proactive vs. Reactive Desire 06:48 Resources and Conclusion Want to learn more about my sponsored charity?
