Episode 56: The Benefits of Separating Pleasure from Sexuality, with Goody Howard
Update: 2022-10-31
Description
We commonly hear our couples conflating sexuality and pleasure, which comes with the unintended message that the only, or best way that a person can experience pleasure is through their sexuality.
For a lot of folks, that's a ton of pleasure to put on a sexual relationship, and can lead to sexuality feeling like an obligation.
We talk with sex educator Goody Howard (@askgoody) about strategies to separate pleasure from sexuality, with the hopes that the more a person experiences pleasure in their individual lives, the more positively that impacts a sexual relationship. She explores with us:
- The role of confidence, and how confidence gives us power
- Encouraging faith based communities to overcome negative messages about pleasure (i.e. the role of the devil)
- Strategies to engage and focus on all of your senses.
- The language of gender and sexuality expansiveness
And make sure to stay tuned to the end, when Goody describes what has quickly become our favorite article of clothing.
