Episode Description from the Publisher

You're not broken if sex hurts, and this episode explains why. In this vulnerable episode of Pleasure Science, sex scholar Nadège shares her personal journey of painful sex and vaginismus, to pleasure, safety, and multiple orgasms. Get a rare look into how a lack of sex education, silence, and pressure shaped Nadège's sex life, and how somatic healing, pelvic floor therapy, and communication were the magic tools that healed her life. Grounded in lived experience and science, this conversation outlines how healing is possible, pleasure is learnable, and your body is wise when given time, safety, and a voice. *TW for SA Show Notes: Pleasure Science Courses [https://pleasurescience.com/learn] - Use pleasuresciencepod at checkout to receive 10% off!
