51. How Patriarchy Controls Sexuality

Send us Fan MailWho really controls our sexuality—and why? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on how patriarchy shapes sexual norms, gender expectations, and even the stories we tell ourselves about desire and pleasure. From double standards in sexual freedom to the policing of women’s bodies, we explore the hidden systems that dictate what’s deemed acceptable. We also dive into how these power dynamics silence authentic expression, limit pleasure, and fuel shame—and most importantly, what it takes to break free. If you’ve ever wondered why sexuality feels like it comes with so many rules, judgments, and unspoken limits, this conversation will give you a new lens on reclaiming sexual sovereignty.
