E. Jean Carroll’s Vibrant Sex Life Ended 30 Years Ago. She Wants It Back.

In this episode of the Modern Love podcast, Anna Martin interviews E. Jean Carroll about the impact of her sexual assault by Donald Trump on her life, particularly her relationships and sexuality. Carroll recounts her initial reaction of suppressing the trauma and continuing with her life, followed by her eventual realization, prompted by her editor, that she had stopped having sex and engaging in romantic relationships since the incident. The conversation explores Carroll's session with a trauma specialist, Dr. Leslie Liebowitz, which helped her recognize the extent of the trauma and its involuntary effects on her behavior. Despite the challenges, Carroll expresses a desire to reclaim that part of her life, while also acknowledging the satisfaction she feels from winning her legal battles against Trump.
