We live in a world that loves to slap a pretty pink bow on something we'd rather not acknowledge, like covering a zit with a glittery cute little star. Prostitution has existed since the beginning of time but today we're pretending it's something that it's not. This has created a strangely fine line between casual sex and “sex work.” I want to unpack the tension point between sex and sexual empowerment as they are not one and the same. This episode is about female sexuality, the harm of casual sex for women, what women's healing really is, and more.*The documentary I mention is ‘Strip Down, Rise Up' based on the program the S Factor by Sheila KelleyTimestamps:00:00 - 00:35 Episode Trailer00:35 - 01:10 Intro and Episode Overview01:10 - 03:38 Are we just Pretending?03:38 - 06:31 Sugar baby-daddy dynamics06:31 - 07:47 Did she embellish?07:47 - 09:33 The evolution of prostitution09:33 - 11:07 When is a woman in touch with her sexuality?11:07 - 15:13 What is sexual empowerment for women?15:13 - 18:16 The pole-dancing course for empowerment18:16 - 20:15 This is female de-empowerment20:15 - 21:45 Differences between men and women21:45 - 22:02 Final thoughts22:02 - 22:43 Outro

Emotional Connection has always been the foundation to a good intimate life. So why do some of us lose this awareness and start the game of tennis where we go back and forth between sex first or emotional connection first?

Unfortunately society isn't geared towards celebrating sexually empowered women. In fact it's quite the opposite.

We know that sex sells, and that everyone wants sex. Only, we shouldn't be outright about it, and keep things tucked away hidden in the shadows. It's confusing and disempowering af. When the truth is our sexual empowerment is a source of our inner power. It's our vital life force energy that brings passion, presence, and playfulness into our lives. It's how we can move through the greatest transformation by facing the taboo and learning to embrace our shadows. It's how we build confidence and connection within ourselves and with our partners. It's a part of our health, vitality, humanness and so much more. Today's episode shares 9 things no one tells you about female sexuality, that you should know. Because when you know these 9 things you become empowered to take your sexuality into your own hands (pun intended

In this episode of the 'Love, Sex, and Leadership' podcast, Aaron and Lourdes dive into the notion of Tantra, focusing on its ancient knowledge and polarity principles - the interaction of male and feminine energies inside us and in nature. Understanding these opposites allows for a greater grasp of the human experience and a more balanced life. They also highlight the necessity of physically expressing these principles, which fosters a deeper connection with oneself and the cosmos. Aaron emphasizes the need of balancing and harmonizing the masculine and feminine within oneself, finding equilibrium, and living life fully. Furthermore, they urge listeners to accept all aspects of themselves and their bodies, understanding that faults are a part of divine perfection. Lourdes delves into the practical aspects of Tantra, such as its impact on sexual and orgasmic experiences, and shows how these may be transformed into holistic, life-affirming activities that go beyond physical pleasures. Finally, the episode serves as a call to live truthfully, to embrace the delight of being alive, and to act in loving service to oneself and the world, while acknowledging the grand organized design (G.O.D.) in everything.This video and audio was a live recording from the Ecstatic Tantra Practitioner Training. You can learn more about the Ecstatic Tantra Practitioner Trainings that Lourdes and Aaron teach at: www.aaronkleinerman.com https://www.ecstatictantra.org/ https://www.malachitevents.com/practitioner

Have you ever felt societal shame when it comes to embracing your desires? In today's episode, I peel back the layers of taboo to peek into the idea of how feminine pleasure and power could be the unsung heroes of personal transformation. We're not just talking about the secretive corners of manifestation communities or erotic empowerment – though we're not shying away from those topics. Instead, we get real about the everyday joy and abundance that come from aligning with our deepest cravings and how doing so can light up all aspects of our lives, from the boardroom to the bedroom.In the heart of our discussion lies a candid exploration of my own entrepreneurial path and the surprising ways our intimate lives can shape our professional success. I open up about the hurdles of welcoming joy and affluence into my life and how these battles have spilled over into conversations with my husband, revealing the profound interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds. This is a conversation about curiosity and self-acceptance, and how unshaming our desires and physical pleasure can create safe spaces within ourselves through practices like breathwork, and the courageous act of pressing into discomfort to emerge stronger and more whole. As always on Thursdays, we close with a meditative breathwork practice.Support the Show.Want to work with me live, in person?

The episode explores the concept of shadow work, highlighting the significance of identifying and integrating one's unconscious elements in order to achieve personal transformation. Aaron and Tara talk about the power of accessing the unconscious through breath, sound, and movement, as well as how suppressed shadows may wreck one's life if not addressed. Shadow work is identifying personal and collective shadows, such as victimization, domination, greed, and others, and owning them in order to keep them from negatively harming one's life. They emphasize the transformative nature of shadow work, characterizing it as a short way to long-term change that leads to self-discovery and empowerment. They also emphasize the importance of going beyond cognitive comprehension to embody and feel uncomfortable aspects of oneself, so gaining a deeper sense of power and authenticity. Individuals can break free from old patterns and align with their genuine essence by bravely confronting and dealing with their shadows. They encourage listeners to engage in shadow work on a regular basis, make promises to change old behaviors, and apply gained insights in daily life for long-term growth and personal evolution.

Although the hearts and motives may have started in the right place -- as a response to the 1960s, there have been some detrimental effects of certain modesty and purity culture teachings on both young girls and adult women. Sheila sheds light on how these teachings can lead to damaging beliefs, body image issues, and vulnerability to abusive relationships. The conversation delves into crucial topics such as the damaging effects of purity culture on millennial women, the intersection of Christian teachings and body image struggles, and debunking harmful beliefs about the male-female dynamic. Sheila and Heather share personal experiences and insights, offering a thought-provoking discussion that challenges harmful teachings and advocates for body acceptance based on scripture. If you're interested in gaining valuable insights into this critical topic, don't miss out on this impactful episode. Here are a few other key topics from the conversation: Purity culture and Christian teachings have had damaging effects on women, leading to lower self-esteem, sexual pain disorders, and an increased likelihood of marrying an abuser.

“I was speaking to the tendency of the popular media to perceive narratives of Indian women's sexuality via the lens of oppression. Now, of course, sexual violence against women is an important concern in India, as it is worldwide. But telling the story of violence against women misses the story of how women desire, which is what I wanted to highlight. What struck me from reading the responses from these psychoanalytic interviews that I did was just how much women adapted their Eros to their circumstances. Particularly the older women that were interviewed, those who were older than 35, didn't feel very oppressed, even as they narrated experiences and circumstances that sounded oppressive to me. Of course, if these were patients instead of the psychoanalytic interviewees that they were, one might wait for a kind of realization of oppression, but I wanted to see how psychoanalysis could be useful in mapping how Eros leaks within a framework where oppression is internalized, as it was for many of my interviewees. What I found very interesting was some of the imaginative ways that women found to satisfy their sexual desires while still maintaining community belonging. Viewed from the outside, this can look like oppressive forms of hypocrisy or enactments. But within the frame of these women's lives, it seems like they had found some creative ways of making Eros central and also of having Eros and breathing it at the same time in order to move forward."      Episode Description: Amrita focuses our attention on the presence of women's active sexual desire which often gets obscured by society's tendency to see women as simply victims of violence and oppression. In her book, Women's Sexuality and Modern India - In a Rapture of Distress, she shares with us the results of in-depth interviews as well as latent clinical data from educated and financially comfortable Indian women. We discuss the erotic aspects of modesty; the differences between Indian and International feminisms; the role of the protective parent to foster girlish excitement, i.e. to offer a helping hand to their daughter; and the importance of the involved father to enable an identification for comfortable aggression. We close with a description of an unusual culturally imbued sexual practice that invites Amrita's deep attunement to multiple levels of meaning.   Our Guest: Amrita Narayanan, PsyD, is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst and the author of Women's Sexuality and Modern India: In a Rapture of Distress. She has a longstanding interest in how a civilization's culture shapes its sexuality and its psychoanalysis.  She is an essayist in The Parrots of Desire: 3000 Years of Erotica in India and in Pha(bu)llus: a cultural history of the Phallus. She also writes a monthly column, Sexual Politics, for a newspaper, The Deccan Herald, Bengaluru. Aside from her clinical practice, Amrita is a Visiting Professor of English at Ashoka University, New Delhi, where she teaches psychoanalysis at the undergraduate and Masters level.        Recommended Readings: Narayanan, A.

Lauren Bravo, a culture journalist and author and DJ Yinka Bokinni joined Emma to talk about it.Last week on Woman's Hour we heard the candid admission by the former Labour MP and Government Minister, Dame Joan Ruddock that she was ready to end her terminally ill husband's life using a pillow in a bid to end his pain. Her husband the former MP Frank Doran had been suffering from end stage bowel cancer in 2017, and she struggled to get him pain relief medication in the hours before he died. She is now calling for a free vote in the Commons to legalise assisted dying. The public debate around the subject has been revived in recent months by leading figures such as Esther Rantzen - who revealed that she is considering travelling to a Dignitas clinic in Switzerland if her cancer worsens. But others such as Baroness Ilora Finlay, a cross bench peer in the House of Lords and a palliative end of life care expert, are cautioning against a law change. She believes improved access to care and pain relief is the answer when people are dying rather than the taking of lethal drugs. She joins Clare McDonnell to reflect on the new push for a law change.Shere Hite - a name many people will remember, but some may not know. She was a pioneering feminist sex researcher who published her ground-breaking book, The Hite Report: A National Study of Female Sexuality in 1976. The book was seen by many as radical, changing prevailing notions about female sexuality. Shere went on to write and publish several more books, but endured intense and lasting criticism in the US, and eventually moved to Europe and renounced her American citizenship in 1995. She died in 2020. Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated Director, Nicole Newnham felt that despite how influential Shere had been in life, that she has since been forgotten. So Nicole produced the documentary, The Disappearance of Shere Hite, which is released in UK cinemas on January 12th. She joins Krupa to discuss it. As the number of pupils missing a significant amount of their education is about double the level it was before the pandemic, Clare is joined by Ellie Costello, the executive director of Square Peg, a not-for-profit which helps families that struggle with school attendance.

A pilot scheme to allow journalists to report cases from three family courts in England and Wales is to be extended to almost half of the courts. From the end of January, coverage of cases at 16 more family court centres in England will be permitted. This means 19 of the 43 centres in England and Wales will be part of the Transparency Pilot. Families and individual social workers will be anonymous under the scheme. Krupa Padhy talks to Louise Tickle, a journalist who specialises in reporting on family courts and leads a project for the Bureau of Investigative journalism supporting other journalists to do the same, and Angela Frazer Wicks, Chair of the Family Rights Group and a parent with experience of the family justice system.Popular psychology tends to define a quarter-life crisis as the confusion, stress and anxiety individuals in their 20s and 30s feel about their goals, beliefs and relationships as they seek direction in life and look to find their place in the world. Satya Doyle Byock, a clinical psychotherapist based in the US is the author of the new book Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood and she joins Krupa to talk about young people's struggles with the push and pull of meaning and stability.Northern Soul is commonly associated with Northern England and the 1970s. But mother and daughter duo Levanna and Eve are turning this on its head. Through Levanna's viral dance videos on social media and Eve's DJing at their events in Bristol, they're bringing Northern groove to the South West, all whilst introducing a new generation to the genre. They speak to Krupa about the release of their new album, Wonderful Night.Shere Hite was a pioneering feminist sex researcher who published The Hite Report: A National Study of Female Sexuality in 1976.
