But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle

50. Let's Get Intimate


Listen Later

Warning: NSFW topic ahead!

We are putting it all out there this week and talking sex and intimacy. What did we learn (or not learn) about sex growing up in our Asian households? How it works, who is "allowed" to have it, and under what circumstances it's "ok" to have it. And how did the taboo around talking about or having sex affect us in terms of our personal understandings of what sex is actually like, what we enjoy, and what will work well in a relationship? 

Spoiler alert: it absolutely stunted our development and we are still learning about ourselves today. 

We also discuss what intimacy means for us and how it's distinct from simply the act of sex, and what advice we have for you based on all the roadblocks we've gone through ourselves. 

This is our last episode of Season 3. We'll be back with Season 4 in a couple of weeks. If you've enjoyed what you've heard from our podcast so far, there are a bunch of ways you can support us - you can rate and review us on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, tell a friend, follow us on Instagram (@whereareyoufrompod), buy our merch on our website (butwhereareyoureallyfrompodcast.com), or support us on buy me a coffee (buymeacoffee.com/whereareyoufrom). Thank you, and see you in a few weeks!
