Sensuality, Pain & Pleasure - Get Into Your Body with Aisha Paris Smith


Listen Later

What happens when you stop seeing your body as a burden—and start experiencing it as a source of power, pleasure, and healing?

I’m Fine in collaboration with The House of KoKo: Life in Motion PRESENTS:

In this electric live recording at KOKO Camden, Jean sits down with somatic sexologist, speaker, and sexological bodyworker Aisha Paris Smith for a deeply moving and radically honest conversation about what it really means to come home to your body. Together, they explore the intersection of sensuality, trauma, chronic pain, and the often-forgotten truth that pleasure isn’t just a luxury—it’s a tool for repair.
