Hooked On Pleasure Vanessa Hook

In this episode,

Katy Bampton & I talk about the different ways to communicate and navigate your sexual desires. In particular, for women who are currently in a monogamous heterosexual relationship. We normalize attraction to people outside of your relationship and discuss how to figure out exactly what you are wanting to experience before you have the conversation with your partner. We explore how to communicate to your partner your sexual desires and ways to make it fun for everyone involved. We go on to discuss how to have the best experience possible with your first threesome, where to find a person that would be a great fit and keep the playfulness and novelty of it all while remaining connected to yourself.

This episode features pleasure & relationships coach Katy Bampton. We talk about pleasure beyond the sexual and how to incorporate more moments of pleasure in your busy routine. We also discuss how embodiment and pleasure can heal and allow us to reconnect to ourselves and others.

TW: Suicide & Sexual Assault

This episode will talk about how hope can saves lives and how it saved mine. I created this podcast with the intention of sharing my stories and experiences with people that need it. I am in a position now where I can talk about this objectively, as I am no longer impacted by these things. Never lose hope that things will get better and that your life will become joyful again. Your life can and will improve, and suicidality does not have to be the end of your life.
