006 F****d Up Ideas About Sex Ask A Sex Therapist with Heather Shannon

    • Sexuality

What's your most f****d up idea about sex? 
This week, I'll talk about the myths, lies, and fucked up ideas about sex, people's sex lives, choices and preferences. I invite you to join me on a quest to rip off the negative labels our culture loves to cling to sex. I share my views on the health benefits of being sexually active, gender identity, BDSM and kink, sex work, and much more. 
What You'll Learn:
What sex positivity and sex negativity are, and how they affect our behaviorSome benefits of sex that we are not aware ofWhich beliefs can turn sex into a choreWhy there is so much confusion about gender identityWhy people feel BDSM is scary, violent, or not a form of loving sexWhat options there are for those who think monogamy is not for themWhy most of us feel sex is bad and immoral
Almost all the information and knowledge we have about sex has been handed to us, whether by religion, cultural environment, the education system or our family. Most of us accepted them as the truth, and created a meaning and a purpose for sex based on those ideas. It won't do any harm to revise that knowledge, get curious, and build our own conception of sex and what it represents in our lives.
