Episode Overview
On this episode of the Sexology podcast, I am accompanied by Sonalee Rashatwar. We are going to be talking about our bodies and how we experience pleasure inside and outside the bedroom.
In addition, we will talk about how society plays a role in what we see and think is sexy and how we can change that narrative if it isn’t supportive. This episode is full of juicy information and important ideas around how we view our bodies and how our bodies are portrayed throughout the world and society as well as how they are depicted in sex education.
