Episode 225 – Sexual Pleasure with Goddess Cecilia
Did you know that men from the Philippines prior to colonization wore penis pins and rings in order to pleasure their sexual partner during intercourse? Yes, many of our ancestors had all kinds of sex toys and pleasure enhancers. In many ways, being open to sex and sexual pleasure can be seen as a form of anti-colonialism. Everyday, many Filipinos and Filipino Americans have tried to push for a more sexually liberated society, much to the chagrin of the conservative folks in our community and in the Philippines,
On this episode of TFAL we bring back past guest, Cecilia Villero aka Goddess Cecilia, a pleasure educator, advocate, and consultant to discuss sexual pleasure and rejecting the taboos that we grew up with. We ask questions that Ryan and Joe have been dying to know the answers of. Sex is a beautiful thing and so much of the colonial legacies in our culture have prevented us from really exploring it’s facets.
Note: Elaine and Producer Mike are visiting the Philippines (Elaine’s first time!), so unfortunately, they aren’t on the episode. But you can check out their adventure of our IG stories. Since they’re on vacation, Joe edited this episode himself, so please blame him the shoddy producing. =)
