Sexual wellness is not something that most of us have grown up talking about and even as adults, we often carry shame around our sexual lives. Sexologist Emily Duncan is here to break the stigma and spark conversations all around our sexual health! Join us as we dive into discussing STIs with a partner, the benefits of self-pleasure, and how to start talking about kinks. This conversation inspires us to start communicating about sexual wellness and speak up about what we like and don’t like. 

I learned so much throughout this episode and I know there will be many juicy and practical takeaways for you too. And as Emily reminds us in this episode, when it comes to sex, make sure to try everything twice - because you never know if you’ll enjoy it more the second time around!
