After Inlove: Your Intimacy Survival Guide

Where Did You Learn Sex? Exploring Your Sexual Map


Listen Later

Where did you learn about sex? From school? Your parents? The media? Whether we realize it or not, we all carry a "sexual map"—a collection of messages, experiences, and cultural narratives that shape how we think and feel about sex. In this episode, we’ll explore how your early influences—family, religion, media, and personal experiences—have shaped your desires, inhibitions, and beliefs about sex and intimacy.

I’ll walk you through reflective prompts to help you uncover your own sexual story, break free from limiting scripts, and open up new possibilities for pleasure and connection. Plus, we’ll explore how shifting your mindset around sex can deepen intimacy with yourself and your partner(s).

🎧 Listen now and begin your journey to a more fulfilling, authentic sex life.

If you find any of the reflective exercises bringing up memories fo sexual trauma or unwanted touch in your history, please seek support. Contact a sex therapist (like me at https://www.afterinlove.com/) or try a charity such as:
