Show Notes

Laina is a 33-year-old cis-gender woman who describes herself as Chinese, heterosexual, married, and monogamous.

Laina has one child and struggles with body image. She believes that nobody would want to have sex with her, and that her husband only does it because she's his only option.

Major themes in this episode include body image, libido, and changes in sexuality after giving birth.

  • The objectification of Asian women in culture and media
  • Connecting pleasure to sex and sexuality
  • How media conditions us to find women attractive and a sexual turn-on
  • It's okay to have varying levels of sex drive, even to the point of demi-sexuality
  • Laina's husband told her he wishes they had more sex
  • Different types of turn-ons, like feeling warm and safe during cuddling
  • How Laina's body image impacts her sex life
  • How Laina's relationship to her body has changed since giving birth

The audio extras for this episode are:

  • Laina discusses her sex drive and how the book 50 Shades of Gray opened her eyes to the idea of female pleasure.
  • The extended Q&A
