#41 - Dr. Lauren Brim, sexologist, author, coach, and the founder of the Adult Play Mat, is sharing her thoughts on how comprehensive sex education can create a healthier environment for all of us to live in, why there is stigma around sexually transmitted diseases, and why there doesn’t need to be. We explore the challenges of balancing our need for social connection with the need for individual exploration and freedom, and discuss why it is important for medical practitioners to be educated on sex and pleasure. Today’s topics branch out into how self-pleasure can help women to have better sex with their partners, before we talk about how understanding the three gates of orgasm can lead to an enriched experience. Finally, Dr. Brim shares her thoughts on how learning about sexuality can enrich all your relationships, far beyond the intimate ones, and we land on the revelation that embracing yourself and your authenticity can lead to greater confidence and a sense of freedom in your life.
