Summary In this conversation, Kathleen chats to Shawna Scott, the founder of Sex Siopa and BodyGrá, about the importance of pleasure and sexual health in those living with endometriosis, adenomyosis and pelvic pain. They discuss the significance of body-safe toys and materials, the different types of lubricants, and the importance of hygiene practices for sex toys. They also explore the need for honest and non-judgmental advice in the sexual health industry. Additionally, they highlight the importance of expanding support for pelvic health, including cancer survivors and individuals with pelvic pain conditions. The conversation concludes with a discussion on innovative products for pelvic health, such as Vagiwell and Calexotics vaginal dilators, the Ohnut and the Layer. Shawna discusses the importance of taking control of one's sexual health and rebuilding trust in oneself. She emphasises the role of pelvic physios and sexual therapists in providing support and recommends using products like vibrators to enhance sexual experiences. Shawna highlights the need for personalised recommendations based on individual preferences and sensitivities. She also explores the benefits of using materials like glass and stainless steel for temperature play and trigger point relief. The conversation delves into the use of dilators for pelvic pain and the challenges faced during menopause and perimenopause. Shawna emphasises the power of open conversations and the impact of social media on sexual education. Takeaways Pleasure and sexual health are important aspects of life with a chronic condition such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. Using body-safe toys and materials is crucial to avoid potential health risks. Choosing the right lubricant is essential for comfort and avoiding irritation. Expanding support for pelvic health, including cancer survivors and individuals with pelvic pain conditions, is necessary. Taking control of one's sexual health is empowering and can help rebuild trust in oneself. Pelvic physios and sexual therapists can provide valuable support and guidance in managing pelvic pain and enhancing sexual experiences. Choosing the right vibrator depends on individual preferences, sensitivities, and desired stimulation. Dilators can be helpful in managing pelvic pain, and their use should be personalised and gradual. Navigating menopause and perimenopause involves embracing the changes in one's body and exploring new possibilities for pleasure. Open conversations about sexual health and pleasure are essential for breaking down taboos and creating a supportive community. Social media platforms often present challenges for sex educators and businesses, but alternative strategies can be employed to reach and support individuals.

This week my friend and fellow Try- sexual Emily and I review the Calexotics Mini-Marvels Silicone Marvelous Massager.

Listen to find out how it performed!

This week we speak with Dr. Jill McDevitt, a sexologist and published author based in San Diego, California, and today we answer some of the questions you all wrote in a few weeks back! Jill covers topics such as how to communicate your fantasies to your partner, why women feel shamed for speaking up about their sexual needs, when and how to talk to your kids about sex education, and even ways to overcome erectile dysfunction. This episode is all about removing shame and stigmas surrounding the topics of sexuality for both women and men!

In this two-part episode, we hear from sexologist Jill McDevitt, PhD about the shame and stigmas surrounding sex and how to remove them, and then a real life story of a woman who spiced up her sex life by bringing toys into the bedroom. Dr. Jill McDevitt is a sexologist and sexuality educator, consultant, and coach on a mission to radically improve the way we think about and treat sexuality, ourselves, and each other in the US. She believes that sex should be fun, pleasure is good for you, and shame-free expression of our sexuality is a vital part of being human. Dr. Jill has three degrees in human sexuality (PhD, MEd, and BA), and is the only known person on the whole planet who does, so that's pretty cool! She also serves as Resident Sexologist for CalExotics, the leading pleasure products company. In this episode, we discuss: ·      What it means to be a sexologist. ·      Why sexuality is not talked about more. ·      The negative messaging regarding sexuality that most of us grow up with and the implications of that in our adult life. ·      Gender differences in how we experience stigmas, shame, and pressure surrounding sex. ·      How to identify when shame is present in our sex lives and begin to unravel it. ·      A much broader definition of sexuality and how it can help us identify underlying issues throughout our lives. ·      Where our very strict narrative of what sex is comes from and how it may be holding us back from experiences we may really enjoy. ·      Her opinions on toys, porn, and open relationships. ·      And how the concept of paying it forward can help remove shame from sexuality.

In this episode, we talk all about sex - differences (truth and myth) among genders, different ways we experience desire, and how to navigate desire frequency differential. Isharna Walsh is the Founder of Coral, a sexual wellness app that helps people live their best intimate lives through science-backed research, industry expertise and community engagement. Previously, Isharna was a venture capitalist with Embark Venture, a management consultant with the Boston Consulting Group and executive at SteelHouse. A Sri Lankan Aussie with a global perspective, Isharna's passion for social impact led her to found a company aimed at social change around sexuality. Since inception, Coral has attracted tens of thousands of users and continues to gain wide visibility. In this episode, we discuss: ·      The lack of education we receive around exploring our own sexuality and sexual preferences. ·      How our barometer for a healthy, fulfilling sex life is typically pornography, what we see in the movies, or what we read in romance novels, and we aren't really equipped to talk to our partner and figure out what is best for our relationship. ·      Two different ways in which we experience desire and why it's important to know yours. ·      How, for responsive desire types, what gets you in the mood is very individualized and why you should experiment to learn what works best for you. ·      How within each relationship there is a higher desire partner and a lower desire partner; and how this desire frequency differential can cause issues and insecurities. ·      How mindfulness when it comes to sex is just as important as it is with every other aspect of our lives. ·      The impractical expectations put on men when it comes to sex despite a lack of information or teaching. ·      And how maybe we are all only scratching the surface of the amount of pleasure we are capable of feeling.
