Show Notes

Destigmatize masturbation, sex toys and women with disabilities is blogger, sex columnist and activist Makgosi Letimile's mission. 

In this episode, we speak with sex columnist Makgosi Letimile on how she discovered the power of masturbation as a healing tool, how doctors and the health industry give little respect or regard to women's bodies and how we can overcome the stigma around sex and self pleasure for women. She also shares more on her work to dismantle the negative stories around sex toys and masturbation for not just women but women with disabilities. 
I found my way to Makgosi from Season 3 guest and sex educator, Lisa Welsh. 

As I myself work towards my personal sex education certification I am learning more and more about the challenges some women face with not just the act of intercourse but masturbation in particular. What caught my attention with Makgosi was that she was sharing her experience from the point of view of a person with a disability that uses a wheelchair.  Masturbation has the ability to connect us to self-pleasure, self-discovery and self-love and I knew it was an important discussion to bring to the show.
