How Can I Be More Sex Positive If I Stru...

Melissa Landry
About this episode

Many clients tell us that intimacy issues come up because of their body image. If you’ve ever had the idea your body was not sexy or desirable because of your shape or size – you may wonder: how do you start to become more sex positive as part of your body image work? What do you do if you had a negative experience in the past where a partner made a negative comment about you or someone else’s body? This stuff is hard to talk about, so Melissa and Dalina brought in Cindy Luquin, a bilingual certified sex educator from @howlatthewomb so we could discuss:

  • What is purity culture? How does it impact our body ideals?
  • How do you reclaim pleasure for yourself vs. positioning the you look as solely serving your partner?
  • What do you suggest to help our listeners feel more at peace with parts of their body they’ve long felt shame about: bigger bellies, body hair, stretch marks, saggy boobs?

We felt nervous to talk about <seggs> as the kids on TikTok call it (we explain why that is, too!), but in the end found ourselves empowered by this conversation! How did you feel considering sex positivity in your body image work? DM us on instagram with your reaction, or, leave an honest review wherever you listened!
