Show Notes:
Sara Cate and Ashley focus today's session exploring the complicated relationship between sex and intimacy. Do they have to be mutually exclusive? Do they have to be inextricably bound? Sara Cate and Ashley discuss healthy non-intimate sexual experiences, intimacy with people other than a partner, and how to understand your relationship to both. We live in a society that can create shame for having sexual experiences outside of relationship, or with someone you aren't emotionally intimate with, even though that may be what you are seeking. This shame can create an inability to trust your own body and it's current needs. It is hard to listen to what we want when expectation or judgement is placed on our own sexual experiences.
Further still, they explore how intimacy can also live outside the realms of sex and when we learn to explore the dynamic ways we want to be met by our partner, partners, or friends we can develop wide experiences of intimacy to be held and loved in so many new ways! Join us today and as always let us know what we can do to support your journey with you learning and understanding your body and soul a bit more!
