Welcome to the very first episode of Your Pleasure Path! The purpose of this podcast is to give you all of the information, resources and tools that you need in order to discover what your unique path to pleasure is. Because that's the beauty of this journey. Our sexuality gets to be uniquely ours. We don't have to do things that others do or like things that others like. We don't have to fit into a mold of how society conditions us to view ourselves and our sexuality. So many of us experience feelings of guilt and shame in relation to our sexuality, and I'm here to decondition and deconstruct those feelings so that you can feel empowered instead. Empowered to explore all of your fantasies and desires in a way that feels supportive and expansive. Empowered to explore different relationship structures. Empowered to explore challenging gender norms and sexual orientation. Empowered to explore kinks and fetishes. Empowered to experience deeper intimacy within your relationships. Empowered to set and enforce strong boundaries. Empowered to be more trusting and have open and honest communication with our partners, friends, family, and community. Because pleasure is your birthright. It doesn't matter what's happened in your past. It doesn't matter if you've experienced trauma. It doesn't matter if someone told you that your desires were weird. Every single person is worthy and deserving of experiencing pleasure and defining what that means to them. My intention with this podcast is to bring on special guests with unique perspectives as it relates to pleasure, sex, intimacy, and relationships. We explore themes like alternative relationship structures, kink, attachment styles, mental health, intimacy, communication, orgasms, gender fluidity, body positivity, and so much more. I invite you to use this podcast as a way to educate yourself on new ways of doing things. I invite you to come in with an open mind and listen receptively. I invite you to integrate any of the tools and resources that deeply resonate with you and ignore everything else that doesn't.
