We Were Always Here
Pleasure
Episode notes
Pleasure impacts so many areas of our lives, yet there’s so much shame about the things that bring us pleasure. In this episode, Ruby unpacks the act of experiencing pleasure, but also the many things, societal and internal, that get in the way, as well as thinking about how our relationship to pleasure can evolve and change throughout our lives. They talk to Emily Nagoski about what pleasure actually is and the things that might prevent us accessing it, as well as exploring the ways that different people have connected with their own pleasure.
