Show Notes
Shana is a 41-year-old, cis-gender woman who describes herself as biracial (half black/half white), heterosexual, monogamous and currently in a relationship.
Major themes explored in this episode include healing from old hurts, learning about consent, and discovering our own pleasure, rather than just focusing on pleasing our partner.
- How she came to relate running late to eroticism
- Her first sexual experience, and how it conditioned her to not trust white men
- The moment Shana first had intercourse and why it was so devastating … and why she pretended it was okay
- Why Shana has never felt comfortable calling that experience rape
- The expectation that women are supposed to please their partner and not ask for anything
- The conversation she had with her current lover after their first time having sex
- How tenderness and masculinity go hand-in-hand
The audio extras for this episode are:
- An extended conversation with Shana about how two men decided whether or not she had been raped, and how listening to other women tell their #MeToo stories has helped her
- The extended Q&A
