025 - How to Cultivate a Life of (Self-) Pleasure and Sexual Empowerment

Mind Less

“We don’t fuck misogynists” Let’s talk about sex bay-bee! Let’s talk about you and me! No, really, let’s talk about it. When was the first time you ever figured out what sex was, and what was your journey to discovering what sexual pleasure looked like for you and your body? Get your bodies and your minds ready, chickadees, cause this week we’re getting sensual AF and digging into the nitty gritty of what sexual pleasure and pleasure itself means. So grab a drink, grab a partner, get cosy-comfy and let’s-get-phy-si-cal! (Ok that’s the last song pun, I swear). Our episode starts off with a bang (I KNOW, I have a sickness, I’m sorry) as Kelly and Lorena get stuck in sharing their first experiences of feeling sexy-fun-times in their downstairs bits. Both bond over feeling like they started experimenting with what felt good at younger ages, with Lorena elaborating that her higher sex drive and natural tendency to be LOUD brought up feelings of shame in a world that tells womxn to be quiet. Kelly had the exact opposite experience, disclosing a rather hilarious anecdote about their first time figuring out what sex was along with how their relationship with porn at a young age affected how they thought they should “do” sex. From there our bisexual babes talk more about the knock-on effects of porn as millennials who grew up in the age of the internet, including the difference between heterosexual and queer porn, how the objectification of women and femmes in porn is internalised in all of us, and how that can shape our relationships with ourselves as sexual beings outside of masturbation and self-pleasure practices. Both agree that the porn industry itself tends to suck (and not in a good way), but that ethically enjoying pornography made with non-cis men in mind can be a game changer. Next, our friends have a conversation on what cultivating pleasure can look like outside of sex and sexuality, hitting on topics like asexuality, creation for creation’s sake, pole dancing and food. Finally, Lorena and Kelly dish on their own self-pleasure practices, including how to make ourselves feel special and sensual along with some favourite toys that bring out the best in the bedroom. STRAP IN, y’all. And don’t forget the lube. ;) Resource Masterdoc For Episode // Contact us for questions on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindlesspodcast // Contact us for questions on Instagram: @mindlesspodcast // Music: Bad Snacks - Summer in the Neighbourhood; Andrew Langdon - Keys // Tarot readings with Kelly: @pathostarot on Instagram & Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pathostarot // Coaching & Breathwork with Lorena on her website: https://www.lorenaschuth.com and her YouTube Channel // Tips and Donations CashApp £mindlesspodcast
