I've had two abortions and zero regrets - Timari

Timari is a 37-year-old, cis-gender woman who describes herself as white, straight, monogamous, married and the mother of two children. She is a listener who contacted me to say that she’d like to talk about her history with abortion, because it hadn’t been addressed much on the show yet. Along the way, we also talk about being raised in the Mormon church, being in an abusive marriage and cheating, and her sex life with her current husband. Here are some of the notable moments she shared with us: 4:40 – Timari’s first memory of being told not to touch herself 6:00 – What she considers the benefits of frequent masturbation, especially early in life 7:40 – Her first experience with a penis 11:00 – The impact of sex ed 15:05 – Growing up in a Mormon home 19:28 – Timari’s “fuck buddy” 23:20 – Feeling empowered by childbirth and sex after giving birth 24:50 – Watching her sisters get involved in abusive relationships 27:30 – Her decision to leave the LDS church over their stance on homosexuality 29:45 – Timari’s curiosity about polyamory 30:20 – Healing from the emotional impact of her own extramarital activity 32:00 – How her current relationship satisfies her emotionally and romantically 32:20 – Her history with abortion The Lowdown (37:30): What kind of touch do you enjoy most?
