Who taught you about pleasure? Because most of us were taught about sex, but very few of us were actually taught how to experience pleasure. Welcome to episode 171 of The Orgasmic Lifestyle Podcast with Venus O’Hara. In this New Moon episode, we explore pleasure education, desire and bedroom confidence, with a focus on creating greater awareness, curiosity and connection in your intimate life. I speak with Nikki Mars, a pleasure educator and desire coach, about pleasure, desire and developing greater confidence in your intimate experiences. I also review Come As You Are: Revised and Updated: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski, exploring some of the science and insights behind sexual wellbeing and desire. The episode ends with a guided meditation featuring affirmations for intimate connection with your partner, designed to support greater openness, curiosity, communication and connection.
