Your Sexual History: How Negative Sexual Experiences Shape You – Episode 73

This episode continues the Your Sexual History series, and begins the focus on how negative experiences can shape you. Of course positive ones can too, but I wanted to begin the discussion with some of the ways that sexuality can “go bad” or cause you to bear “erotic wounds.” In future episodes we will talk about the flip side to negative sexual experiences… Positive ones.

Since it is often more difficult to discuss our negative experiences, it can also be a good place to start. Although they shape us and can influence who we are, the more we talk about them as reality, the more we can start to reframe our ideas about our sexuality by understanding issues that we have that we might need to overcome to find our best sexual selves.

In this episode we’ll look at the following issues affecting women and their sexuality:

  • Rape/assault
  • Interactions with creepy people
  • Imagery/sexual violence in the media
  • “Bad” sexual experiences
  • An unwanted pregnancy or abortion

Difficult though it may be to discuss, we have to start somewhere…

Your Sexual History: How Your Parents and Your Family Shape You – Episode 71

Your Sexual History: How Your Parents and Your Family Shape You - Episode 71 [ 36:22 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This episode is the first in a series about our sexual histories: the scars, triumphs, and memories that we carry with us everyday.

I wanted to start the series off by explaining the purpose of what I’m trying to achieve by talking in detail about all of this, and I also wanted to start us off by looking back (to perhaps our childhood) to think about the deep, heavy ways that parents and family affect our understanding of ourselves, our sexuality, and our sexual beings.

The way your parents did or did not talk to you about sex and the way they (passively, aggressively, or passive aggressively) stated their ideas about sexuality and how you should be approaching the sexual world all still inform your ideas about your sexual and physical self and self worth.

Join me as we spend a lengthier episode discussing some of our “core erotic wounds” and values.
