#122 - Sex is a Social Skill: How to have open sexual communication with Dawn Serra
Jul 8, 2019
Dawn Serra is a sex and relationship coach who has dedicated her life to helping others orient towards pleasure so that we can heal the shame we carry around sex and deepen the trust we have in our bodies. In this episode, we talk about the historical and very culturally relevant reasons today that women struggle with sex today.
You'll learn why sex is a social skill, why it's OK to have a fraught relationship to sex and how to change it, including how to tell your partner if you’ve been faking orgasms. And of course because TMI is a habit of mine, I share more details about my lack of sex experience— and how uncomfortable I was going through the process. I hope it helps you lean in to your discomfort, heal whatever is bothering you about sex and sexual health, and give yourself permission to experience more pleasure.
Toward the end we answer a Body Kindness reader question who asked about sex when you have PTSD from sexual abuse and violence. You don't want to miss the resources and advice Dawn offers.
