Welcome to episode 38. Today I’m talking about how pleasure, both sexual and non-sexual, fits into your toolkit for a happier life – and there’s a lot to dismantle, especially when it comes to sex. Ideas around pleasure being something we should all be entitled to is something I strongly uphold, but indulging ourselves to numb pain and ignore the bigger issues can throw up some red flags. Join me as I talk about the triggers, the needs and the outcomes of embracing pleasure as part of your toolkit for a happier life.
In this episode:
- How our views on pleasure and indulgence are often shaped during our childhood – often with negative results, especially when it comes to sex.
- Knowing the difference between using pleasure as a tool to address a genuine need, versus indulgent pleasure to block out feelings or numb ourselves of a deeper pain.
- How society has built polarised stigma about how women should or shouldn’t experience sexual pleasure, and why it’s time to re-write your narrative so you can take pleasure in your body without the guilt.
