Sex, Biology, and You

Original Air Date Wednesday, May 03, 2023.

Do you wish your partner understood you better? Have you considered that they may not be wired to? Biology and chemistry are important factors in why we communicate the way we do. Testosterone and Estrogen play a major role in social behaviors from a very young age.

To empathetically examine what places men and women on opposite sides of the communication spectrum, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with sex and biology expert, Dr. Stephen Furlich.

He shares some of the research behind his book Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life’s Stages, strategies for how both genders can communicate with each other effectively, and why men and women are the way they are.
