What I’ve come to learn now as an adult and as a married woman is that by avoiding ‘sex’ as a normal topic of real conversation, we are damaging the potential for healthy sex lives and in turn overall healthy relationships. I’m not talking about the stale, age-old sex ed talking points. And I’m not talking about whispering to your partner what to do next during the act. I’m talking about constructive discussion aiding not only in physical health, but in the health of our relationships.
Where are the discussions about pleasure and the intimate bond created between two people through sex? I attended the Envision 2016 festival in Uvita, Costa Rica, and the best workshop I attended was that of a woman who gave a 2 hour presentation on the female orgasm and it's mental and physical health benefits ranging from personal happiness all the way to the improved health of unborn children conceived in instances where the mother achieved an orgasm. I found her talk to be extremely informative and intriguing, and I realized I had never heard anyone speak so straight forwardly on this topic.
