Pleasure Is Political

from Permission To Desire: Relationships, Sex, Love, and Liberation · host Brian G. Murphy

What if your sex life wasn't a distraction from everything going on in the world right now but actually one of your most powerful responses to it?In this episode, Brian shares how your sex life is political. He breaks down how sex shame has been used as a tool of control, why it's important to feed your own sexual pleasure as a way to tend to your relationship (even when doing so feels scary), and what it actually means to claim sex and pleasure as an act of defiance in a political moment designed to make you feel small.This one is equal parts liberation theory and practical invitation.
