What does it take for women to feel safe during sex? In this episode, I explore how safety is shaped by our beliefs, past traumas, and cultural conditioning, emphasizing the crucial role of clear communication and mutual accountability. We dive into the complex layers of safety, consent, and the difficult issue of duty sex, where avoiding conflict can lead to unwanted sex and emotional distress, stressing the need for inner work and an understanding of cultural pressures in shaping our sexual dynamics.
