In this episode, Candice Horbacz and Dr. Tara dive deep into the complexities of sexuality, discussing everything from the importance of early sexual education to the impact of societal norms like the "Madonna-Whore complex." They explore how shame-based education and purity culture can lead to riskier sexual behaviours and emphasize the importance of open communication in relationships, particularly around sexual desires and fantasies. Dr. Tara shares her journey of overcoming sexual shame and offers insights on reconnecting with one's sensuality, especially after life changes. The conversation also covers the use of somatic practices, the role of foreplay, and the importance of feeling emotionally safe in a relationship.
