    Ultimate Guide to Pleasure a Woman in Bed with Expert Leeza Mangaldas

    In this episode we discuss women's pleasure, debunking the myth that intimacy is solely about penetration. It emphasizes the importance of clitoral stimulation and understanding female anatomy for enhancing intimate experiences. 👇 About the guest Leeza Mangaldas is an Indian se3 educator, author, and digital content creator. She is renowned for her work in promoting se3 positivity and normalizing conversations around se3uality, se3ual health, and gender through her YouTube and Instagram platforms, launched in 2017. Her debut book, The Se3 Book: A Joyful Journey of Self-Discovery (2022), has been praised as an inclusive and accessible resource on se3ual education. A graduate of Columbia University, Mangaldas also hosts The Se3 Podcast in Hindi and has received numerous accolades, including being named one of GQ India's "Most Influential Young Indians." 👇 Highlights - Women's Pleasure Beyond Penetration: Many people mistakenly believe that se3 is only about penetration. In reality, cl!toral stimulation is crucial for most women’s pleasure, and redefining se3 to include various forms of stimulation can enhance se3ual experiences. 🧠 Understanding Anatomy: Knowledge of female anatomy, particularly the vul^a and cl!toris, is essential for effective communication about pleasure. Many women do not know their own anatomy, which can hinder their ability to express what feels good. 💬 Importance of Communication: Open dialogue about desires and preferences is vital in se3ual relationships. Both partners should feel safe to express their needs without fear of judgment. 🎉 Reframing Se3ual Norms: Societal views often portray the vul^a negatively, leading to shame and discomfort. Emphasizing the beauty and normalcy of female anatomy can help change these perceptions. 🔄 Self-Exploration and M@sturb@tion: Self-pleasure is a healthy practice that can lead to better se3ual experiences with partners. It allows individuals to understand their own bodies and what brings them pleasure. 🌈 Creating a Comfortable Environment: Transitioning from daily life to intimacy requires creating a conducive atmosphere. Simple activities like cuddling or setting the mood can enhance connection and relaxation. 🤝 Mutual Respect and Consent: Both partners should prioritize consent and respect each other's boundaries. This creates a more enjoyable and pressure-free se3ual experience. 👇 Timestamps 00:00 - Myth Busting Women's Pleasure 02:50 - Understanding Anatomy 05:10 - Stimulation Techniques 08:00 - Overcoming Shame and Disgust 14:00 - Creating a Conducive Environment for Intimacy 19:00 - The Role of Toys and Lubrication 24:00 - Maintaining Novelty in Long-Term Relationships 28:00 - Understanding Women's Orgas^^ 40:00 - The Importance of Self-Pleasure 46:00 - Final Thoughts on Women's Pleasure 👇 Connect with Leeza Mangaldas Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leezamangaldas/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leezamangaldas1 Website: https://leezus.com/ 👇 Connect with Rodrigo and Something Bigger Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodrigocanelas⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/rodrigocanelas⁠ Tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@rodrigo_canelas⁠ Web: ⁠https://www.somethingbigger.com⁠ #intimacy #pleasure #relationship #women #india #leeza
