Pleasure Activism & Finding Holiness in Sex, w/ Rotana Tarabzouni

Our guest today is a musician, pleasure activist, and sensualist. She has captivated a global audience with the raw embodiment of herself, her voice, and her body which she wasn’t able to do for a very long time. 

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, becoming a musician was not in her realm of possibility. She moved to the US in 2014 to pursue music, starting from scratch.

The singer, who has been previously praised for “smashing Saudi stereotypes”, was named as one of the BBC's 100 Most Powerful Women.

Today, Rotana has found the courage to write and sing about the things that keep women from fostering a lifelong connection to their minds and bodies.

 

What we discuss: 

 

-her story of liberation 

 

-what pleasure activism means 

 

-the quote “Pleasure, especially orgasm, is kryptonite to the ego. The more pleasure you have, the more flush & strong your pussy voice becomes. The stronger your pussy voice becomes, the more likely you are to connect to your power & confidence & move in the direction of your mostly deeply held desires.” 

 

-Why we see pleasure or eroticism as a problem in our culture 

 

-how being sexual isn’t consent for being sexualized 

 

-her journey in Reaching God thru sexuality & turn on, instead of being separated from God because of it … 

 

-Being sexually charged while also devoted to God & faith 

 

-bringing back holiness to our 1st & 2nd chakras

 

She’s a sexually liberated and curious woman coming from a world that would stifle expression of self and deathly discourage a woman’s sexness - her music is incredible. Her one woman show that she’s creating is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. And I really want her to launch it.- Adrian Grenier
