There is an invisible force that impacts all of us, in and out of the bedroom. It can disrupt your pleasure, limit your ideas of what is possible and hold you back from pursuing your true desires. This force goes by a deceptively simple name: shame.
We know shame isn’t the sexiest of topics, but it is essential to confront if you want to live a more authentic, pleasurable life. Clearing away shame is like clearing the weeds to give your garden room to grow. Unlocking the cage to let your inner wild animal roam free. Cleaning the windows of your sexual soul to let the sun shine through. If you want more metaphors we’ve got them, but we think you get the point!
You’ve got to slay your sexual shame if you want to discover who you really are. We all have shame holding us back, no matter how liberated you believe yourself to be. Shame about being enough, being too much, being too big or too small, too slutty or too prudish, too kinky or too vanilla, too horny or too disinterested… we could go on.
What are your shame stories? Where do you feel like you might be broken?
Where did you learn that you didn’t belong, as is, just as you are?
This week’s podcast is an in-depth discussion about sexual shame and how to overcome it. A listener asked how she can overcome the shame that is preventing her from having orgasms with her boyfriend.
