015 Unlearning Sex Negativity Ask A Sex Therapist with Heather Shannon

    • Sexuality

As most of us have realized by now, sex education is sorely lacking in the US and most of the rest of the world! What we learn from most religions is a sex negative message—that there are a lot of rules about who you can have sex with, when you can have sex with them and what kind of sex acts are ok. Schools typically try to scare us into abstinence with talks about STIs and unwanted pregnancy. And then add in legislation in the US that targets LGBTQ people and women in a way that makes sex and love more difficult. 
It’s no wonder we’ve got some baggage around this topic, huh? 
If you’re ready to drop your sex-negative suitcases in the trash and relearn intimacy from a sex-positive perspective, listen in!
