Woman and Sexual Freedom: Natalie Lee, Feeling Myself
Listen on
Episode notes
In this episode, I talk with Natalie Lee about her book, Feeling Myself: How I shed my shame to find sexual freedom and you can too.
Exposing the shame that many of us feel with sex, Natalie Lee takes us through her own journey from traumatic beginnings to sexual freedom. She tells the story of learning to be your true self in a society that doesn't prioritise women’s pleasure, and provides tools for every woman to feel empowered and experience their own emancipation.
Some topics of discussion include:
- Why sex is so important
- Where the shame and stigma surrounding women’s pleasure comes from
- Virginity, porn, orgasms and masturbation
- The problem with calling some sexual acts “foreplay”
- How Natalie shed her shame to find sexual freedom
- Tools for shedding our own shame, and how to raise kids to do the same
And more!
