Surabhi Veitch discusses the topic of shame surrounding pleasure and sex. The shame people feel when discussing sex is not uncommon and is often a result of societal taboos and cultural upbringings. I share my own experiences growing up in an Indian household where the topic of sex was never discussed and how being shamed by one of my first boyfriends impacted me long-term.

Grab the replay of my Reclaim your Pleasure workshop for 90-minutes of breathwork, visualization, movement and re-writing sexual scripts so you can unleash the pleasure within you!

Key points:

1. The topic of sex and pleasure is still considered taboo and awkward in many households around the world.

2. The shame that people feel when talking about sex and pleasure is not uncommon and is often a result of upbringing and cultural values.

3. Many people struggle to comfortably use the proper names for body parts related to sex and pleasure.

4. The lack of open and appropriate education about sex and pleasure contributes to the shame and discomfort people feel.

5. The first step in dismantling shame around sex and pleasure is to educate ourselves and our children about the proper names for body parts and to talk about sex and pleasure openly.
