In this episode of Reconnecting with Pleasure, Dana & Victoria the concept of gender roles in (and out of) relationship. We discuss how gender roles in both queer and heterosexual relationships can sometimes be barriers to our own joy pleasure. We also discuss ways that we can set aside these roles that we've learned to allow ourselves access to more pleasure.
episode 13 | Resentment, Parenthood, & Sex
In this episode, Dana + Victoria unpack a common theme that we hear, especially from other mothers and parents, about the challenges that come with navigating many responsibilities and the resentment that breeds as a result. We're talking about how resentment breeds in relationships and how to find pleasure and desire within so many responsibilities. Ultimately we see resentment as an inside job and we're sharing some tips for how to navigate it accordingly.
episode 12 | Talking about talking about kink
In this episode, Victoria and Dana talk about talking about kink. We explore our definitions of kink, what it means to us, and delve into figuring out how we can get more comfortable with our own desires and pleasure in order to talk about them with others.
Talking about talking about it is our starting point!
episode 11 | Talking to friends about pleasure & sex
On this episode Dana + Victoria talk about the importance of talking to your friends and closest people about sex, pleasure, and desire. We get conditioned to keep vulnerability at bay and not talk about things that may bring up shame or deep vulnerability, but disrupting that idea can allow for the best, most meaningful relationships. In this episode we offer some examples and tips for how to cultivate more vulnerable and intimate friend relationships.
episode 10 | The Orgasm Gap
In this episode Dana + Victoria talk about talk about the orgasm gap. What is it and could this be you? We also talk a bit about what might be some ways to overcome it.
According to an article in Psychology Today, "39% percent of straight women compared to 95% of straight men orgasm during sex." Recognizing that many of us are victims of the orgasm gap, which is directly connected to our overall life expectancy (no joke) is something we should all take more seriously.
