## Resource

In this podcast, I talk with Dr. Niveditha Kamaraj, an OBGYN, about intimacy and desire in Indian marriages. We explore why female desire changes after marriage, common causes of low libido in women, painful sex, emotional disconnect, and why many couples lose intimacy over time. We also discuss how emotional safety, stress, hormones, and daily life pressures impact sexual health, especially for Indian women. If you’re married and struggling with loss of spark, intimacy after marriage, or emotional distance, this episode offers clear, science-backed answers and practical insights.
