#122 - Sex is a Social Skill: How to have open sexual communication with Dawn Serra

Dawn Serra is a sex and relationship coach who has dedicated her
life to helping others orient towards pleasure so that we can
heal the shame we carry around sex and deepen the trust we have
in our bodies. In this episode, we talk about the historical and
very culturally relevant reasons today that women struggle with
sex today.


You'll learn why sex is a social skill, why it's OK to have a
fraught relationship to sex and how to change it, including how
to tell your partner if you’ve been faking orgasms. And of course
because TMI is a habit of mine, I share more details about my
lack of sex experience— and how uncomfortable I was going through
the process. I hope it helps you lean in to your discomfort, heal
whatever is bothering you about sex and sexual health, and give
yourself permission to experience more pleasure.


Toward the end we answer a Body Kindness reader question who
asked about sex when you have PTSD from sexual abuse and
violence. You don't want to miss the resources and advice Dawn
offers.
