-
- Health & Fitness
A series of podcasts exploring and celebrating female sexuality. Join Bella Heesom for some refreshingly frank, in-depth conversations about sexuality, and its impact on our sense of identity and creativity, among other things. Featuring a range of scintillating guests who enjoy over-sharing. Bella is an actor, writer & theatre maker based in London. Whilst doing research for her new show, Rejoicing At Her Wondrous Vulva The Young Woman Applauded Herself, she read loads of fascinating books about female sexuality, and talked to lots of brilliant women, and she decided we all need to talk about sex more, and one play just wouldn't cut it, so she simply must get into podcasting.

Episode 2: Christianity, Consent & the Clitoris with Natalie Collins
Bella, a lifelong atheist, chats to Natalie Collins, founder of the Christian Feminist Network, about her personal experience of Christian purity culture, an abusive marriage, a happy marriage, and her relationship with sex within those contexts.
An open and frank discussion about the negative and positive ways in which Natalie's sexual experiences have been shaped by: shame around premarital sex and masturbation, socially enforced gender roles, sexual abuse, the discovery of feminism, and her faith in a god who gave women an organ designed purely for pleasure.
