In this episode of 'Sex, it's not that deep', we talk about the lack of communication, education, and empowerment knowledge around sex. We discuss our personal experiences with the benefits on having intimacy communication, and also what happens when we don't. We get to the bottom of the shame and taboo around sex talk, and get through some fascinating statistics around the benefits of it.
