1.14 Sex-Positive You with Yael Rosenstock Gonzales

May 27, 2023 13:33 - 1 hour - 91 MB

Though sex is a prevalent topic in society, it remains taboo in many social circles.

Additionally, there is a strong stigma surrounding sex in many cultures, which can make people reluctant to discuss it openly. However, this reluctance to talk about sex openly can lead to a lack of education about sexual health, practices, and identi...

May 27, 2023 13:33 - 1 hour - 111 MB

As social creatures, humans have a deep need and longing to belong whether to a culture, a community, a group, or even just a pair.

We all want to be seen as unique individuals, but we also want to feel like we're part of a group. It's a delicate balance, and it's one that we often battle with throughout our lives. I believe no one else understands this...
