"Knowing all bodies are "good bodies" and deserving of pleasure is a big part of increasing your confidence, Ms Mourikis says.
When people don't see their body type represented in mainstream media, it inhibits their ability to feel good about their own.
"Body diversity is seriously lacking — the dominant narrative in the media centres around the pleasure and sexuality of certain types of people and bodies — namely cis, hetero, white, thin, non-disabled men first and then women," Ms Mourikis says.
"A 'good' body doesn't look a certain way. It helps you move around through the world, therefore it's a good body."
Other things that hold us back from feeling sexually confident include being discouraged to be sexual and explore our bodies — whether that be by our parents, school or partners — and not being taught to communicate our sexual preferences or to set boundaries."
