Liberating Me Frances G

I tend to talk a lot about owning your pleasure. I mean, it is easy for me to say this because I work in a society where it is common for any woman to explore her own sexual pleasure or any type of pleasure for that matter.

But I would like to acknowledge the fact that for some of my listeners who came from the same background as me, owning pleasure is something that we normally talk about.

As an Asian woman who was born and raised in the Philippines, I have witnessed women in my family lean away from pleasure because, for some odd reasons, it could be considered as being selfish, self-centered, or self-absorbed.

How so? In a culture where survival was the only priority in life, women in my family were raised to nurture others first before themselves. Meaning, they were taught that pleasure comes from the joy of taking care of your family rather than pleasure for yourself. Giving yourself some time to enjoy hot baths, manicures, and pedicures, or getting your hair done, or touching yourself and exploring sexual pleasures, is not a cultural norm.

You see, these things tend to be labelled as “luxury” rather than a necessity. Sexual pleasure, on the other hand, is something unheard of for most Asian women. You are lucky if you are raised in a household that talks about sexuality in a very open way.

So in this episode, I am sitting down with Lady Jin to share more what does it look like for asian women OWN pleasure and what does it look like.

As I embark this journey of adulthood, I find that one of the biggest moment in women's life is getting pregnant and giving birth and yet I rarely find a bigger conversation as to how women can experience this part of life in a way that would bring joy and pleasure.

Safe to say that because I care about this conversation a lot to prepare my own self in this journey, I found someone in my coaching school who actually specializes in helping women how to experience ecstatic birth.

An ecstatic birth coach based in New York sits down with me to share what she does and what it is all about.

Did you know that the father of gynecology is a man? 

Did you know that J. Mario Sims, the father of gynecology conducted his experiments/research on enslaved Black women without anesthesia, medical ethicists, historians and others say his use of enslaved Black bodies as medical test subjects falls into a long, ethically bereft history that includes the Tuskegee syphilis experiment and Henrietta Lacks. Critics say Sims cared more about the experiments than in providing therapeutic treatment, and that he caused untold suffering by operating under the racist notion that Black people did not feel pain.

So why the heck I am sharing this? Because this episode with Dagmar Khan, a pelvic floor specialist, shares how powerful women are. That as women, we need to listen to our bodies. That as a woman we need to know ourselves better and for such a long time, the narrative about women should have been created by men. 

An important conversation and I hope you learn a thing or two from this episode.

Reality is, tantra is NOT JUST about Sex. 

In all honesty, it drives me crazy when people share misinformation around this subject. 

It is such a complex subject that I figured I invite my colleague in the Love, Sex & Relationship Coaching realm who grew up in a culture where tantra is part of their life. 

Australian-based love and leadership coach who uses tantric philosophies in her leadership coaching work.

Purpose and desire. Consciousness and power that is how she operates. 

If you enjoy this episode better and want to know more about how she works and apply the tantric philosophies in leadership, better head straight to LinkedIn to learn more about her.

Correction in the information shared during my conversation with Devika: 

It's Mark Singleton, he speaks of how Yoga changed with colonisation. Additional resource:  Dr Van Der Kolks work around his belief that Yoga is an ancient form of trauma release.

The journey of my sexual liberation for the last 5 years comes with sexual openness. A friend of mine has shared this educational documentary series called SLUTEVER and has very eye-opening episodes around BDSM and kink.

This conversation is such an eye opener especially for people who have no idea what is BDSM and WHY people get into it.

I mean let's be real, we have our perception of what goes down but it's another story to hear from someone who actually breaks down what goes down in the world of BDSM.

Invited my colleague in the realm of Love, Sex & Relationship Coaching, Luna Agneya gets real with me on what BDSM and kink is all about.
