Sexual Health, Shame & Self-Discovery: Communication, Consent & Pleasure ft. Lori Youniss

Send us Fan MailBreaking down the stigma around sexuality starts with one honest conversation — and this episode is exactly that. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, sits down with Lori Youniss, sexual health advocate and educator, to tackle the shame, silence, and misinformation that keep so many people from experiencing truly fulfilling intimate lives. Lori brings a warm, direct, and deeply empowering approach to topics that most people never get to discuss openly and honestly. Topics covered: why comprehensive sex education is the most powerful tool we have for dismantling sexual shame and stigma, masturbation as a natural, healthy, and essential practice for understanding your own body, why good sex is entirely subjective and how to define it on your own terms, communication as the non-negotiable foundation of a fulfilling sexual relationship, consent and safety as ongoing conversations rather than one-time checkboxes, the importance of regular STI testing as a routine component of sexual health care, shifting the focus of sexual experiences from performance to genuine pleasure, understanding your own body as the prerequisite for deeper intimacy with a partner, navigating breaks and boundaries during sexual activity with confidence and openness, and why sexual health is an inseparable and vital component of overall well-being. Find Lori: IG @yourbestintimacyWork with Dr. [email protected] with Between the Sheets:IG: @ReviveISHEmail: [email protected]#podmatchWant to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?
