Episode notes

I think one of the fears around it that means that people don't practice is that like fear of rejection but I think the more that you practice honestly it gets easier. You realize that what happens in your head is almost always worse than what actually ends up happening. And also absolutely you can do you can kind of catastrophize like what if I say this and they think this which is it can make you too scared to say it in the first place. But also like you say kind of being able to I guess if you said something someone's misunderstood it being able to say ah you've actually misunderstood what I mean can I try and explain it in a different way.

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Becky Lund-Harket, who is the Head of Public Engagement and a workshop facilitator at the School of Sexuality Education as well as the founder of the Candid Collective. Becky discusses why people feel dissatisfaction in sexual and romantic relationships (spoiler: it's because of poor communication!) and gets into why we find communication so difficult, as well as talking about some good and bad examples from TV. Becky and Hannah talk about the orgasm gap, how sex ed can help to close that gap, and why orgasms shouldn't be the main focus of pleasure. Finally, Hannah and Becky discuss the double standards involved with nudes and sexting.
