Self-Led Sexuality: Creating Healthy Intimacy & Connection - with Patricia Rich
Even if you did receive sex ed in middle school, that education probably did not include information on how to actually relate to your sexuality in a healthy way.
This week, I’m talking with Patricia Rich about:
- What Self-Led sexuality is and why it’s important.
- Why authentically expressing ourselves sexually is often really difficult.
- Internal consent and the importance of checking in with ourselves before connecting sexually with another person.
- The relationship between shame and sexuality.
- How to talk to your partner about your sex life.
- Tips for figuring out what you want— and don’t want— during sex.
