Ita O'Brien Intimacy Part 1

from The HIV Podcast

She’s baaaaaack! The wonderful Ita O’Brien returns to The HIV Podcast and this time we’re talking all things intimacy. Ita chats with Sarah and Jess about her brilliant book Intimacy, and what her years spent choreographing some of the most memorable intimate moments on screen have taught her about sex, desire, consent, connection and our relationships with our own bodies and we also get into what all of this means when HIV enters the chat. Expect sex, stigma, awkward bits, fascinating insights and probably far too much oversharing from us. You know the drill!Content note: This episode contains discussions of sex and intimacy; listener discretion is advised.You purchase a copy of intimacy here:UK: Intimacy: A field guide to finding connection and feeling your deep desires – with foreword from Gillian Anderson: Amazon.co.uk: O'Brien, Ita: 9781529954036: BooksUSA: Intimacy by Ita O'Brien: 9780593596623 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: BooksAudio & Source CreditsThis episode includes short excerpts from the following sources:Intimacy: A Field Guide to Finding Connection and Sexual Empowerment — Ita O’Brien.
