When Is Sexual Attraction NOT About Sex? Includes excerpts of my coming memoir, When Sex Meets God: a midlife story

In this episode, I read a blog post I wrote about sexual attraction.

My Midlife unraveling ended up being driven by the need to reconcile sexuality and spirituality, which lived in my body and psyche as opposing forces. I came to understand that sexual attraction is one way creative intelligence works its magic and that every instance of that twinge of attraction is meaningful. But those twinges of attraction are often, and I would say most of the time, misunderstood as a desire for literal sex.

So, enjoy my take on the deeper meaning of sexual attraction.
