In this episode your host, Darling Izzy, dives into the complex and often misunderstood topic of sexual aversion, also known as sexual avoidance.

Reflecting on her own journey, she reveals how she mistakenly identified as celibate for years, only to realize that her avoidance of not just sex but also dating was rooted in a deep fear of intimacy and sexual trauma. She explores her avoidance behaviors, such as turning down dates and refusing any form of physical contact, even kissing. She opens up about her realization that her aversion goes beyond celibacy, aligning with the National Institute of Health's definition of sexual aversion disorder.
