Sexual Pleasure + Clearing Blocks in Partnership Almost 30
-
- Alternative Health
Sex carries so much currency in our internal and external landscapes. For many, sexuality is cloaked in shame, fear, or heady expectations that leave us feeling short-changed and disempowered. Fortunately, the tides are shifting with the help of pioneers like Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a sex therapist helping people integrate the physical and emotional components of sex, sexuality, and relationships.
True sexual embodiment is a journey, not a destination (the same can be said for orgasms). This conversation undresses all the topics you’ve probably been thinking about but were too scared to utter out loud. Krista, Lindsey, and Dr. Kate candidly untangle the narrative surrounding porn, patriarchy, and partnerships while boldly confronting the common intimacy challenges in modern relationships today.
We also talk about:
How the nervous system affects pleasure
Navigating expectations around sex
Exploring blocks in partnership
Why couples therapy works
The spectrum of sex positivity
Patriarchy and internalized misogyny
Desire, fetish, and ethical porn
Tips for elevating your sexual practice
Processing sexual trauma
