"Stop it with the abstinence only, it doesn't work. With kids especially, you tell them not to do something what are they going to do? They just go try it."
On today's episode of the podcast, Kristen discusses our understanding, or lack thereof, of what sexual pleasure actually is. Kristen and Konner discuss things such as its purpose, why it arises, its peaks and troughs and how much of a role it plays in human existence.
Kristen and Konner also look to the future and discuss how sexual education can and should change, while breaking down a couple of common misconceptions about ideas surrounding access to sexual education and abstinence.
And lastly, Kristen also lays out some of the research conducted with individuals who have experienced sexual trauma and how these individuals have developed their own happy and healthy relationships despite the adversity.
