Loving your own body plays a crucial role in relationships and intimacy, especially when it comes to sex. When we struggle to embrace our bodies, it can create self-consciousness and insecurity in the bedroom. These feelings can hinder our ability to fully let go and enjoy intimate moments with our partners. However, when we cultivate self-love and acceptance, it empowers us to be more confident and comfortable in our own skin. This newfound confidence not only enhances our own pleasure but also fosters a deeper connection and trust with our partners, leading to more fulfilling and intimate experiences together.Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes a favorite returning guest, Emily Morse. Emily Morse is a well-known sex and relationship expert, host of the popular podcast "Sex with Emily," and author of the upcoming book "Smart Sex."
