Intimate connection through love making can be one of the most pleasurable, fulfilling and sacred experiences in adult life. But due to taboos, shame and discomfort many of us find it hard to speak about our needs, desires and experience. Pleasure & embodiment coach and sexuality educator, Laura-Doe will talk about why it is so important to overcome any challenges and how and when to best talk about sex, both to our children and to our lovers and friends.

About the Guest Laura-Doe

Laura-Doe is a professional somatic sex educator. Her vision is to ‘create more love in the world, one happy, fulfilled woman at a time’. Nineteen years ago she created the web site yOni.com, a grandmother of the feminine web.The site brought vulva puppets into her life which began to sing and chat, rather humorously! The comic cabaret, ‘Vaudeville of the Vulva’, was born, educational entertainment designed to tickle at our taboos. Having trained with teachers of sexuality across many traditions and disciplines Laura-doe founded the yOniversity, which offers a juicy program of courses for both yOni owners and yOni lovers. She creates and distributes the Vulvalicious® Cushions, anatomically accurate 3D fabric art pieces.

Her most recent creation is a ground-breaking documentary, The Art & Science of Female Arousal. Designed to spread the news further than she can in person, about the amazing structures, systems and pathways responsible for arousal in female bodied people, this movie contains a wealth of cutting edge scientific information, interspersed with comic sketches, practical exercises and catchy songs.

Martha welcomes Jean Franzblau to explore the elements that make up sexual esteem. Jean defines sexual esteem as “confidence in the worth of one’s sexuality.” Life events that can lower sexual esteem can include being the member of a sexual minority, religious influences, genital shaming during childhood and adolescence or traumatic sexual experiences. Luckily there are just as many interventions that can help claim, build and celebrate sexual esteem and Jean will share them with us.
