'Clitoral Stimulation is a Part of God's Plan': Getting Rid of Guilt & Shame with Natalia Dyer & Karen Maine

This podcast contains sexual content and strong language and is not appropriate for children.

“I have now talked to my dad about female masturbation—not in an explicit way—but we can say the word ‘masturbate.’ And that would have not been possible ten years ago.”
