Podcast 31: Intimate Justice with Bestselling Author Peggy Orenstein, Girls and Sex

"Intimate justice encourages us to ask who is entitled to engage in and enjoy sexual behavior. I don’t want girls’ early sexual experience to be something they have to get over." - Peggy OrensteinHow do we teach our daughters to respect their bodies, while still being curious about their sexuality? What do you say to a 2 or 3 year old in the bath? Would you tell a 10-year-old what the clitoris is for?

If you’re squirming in your chair, so am I, but this is important issue if we really want our kids to normalize sex. Body liberation and sexual liberation go hand in hand. Find out why Peggy Orenstein, bestselling author of Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape and Cinderella Ate My Daughter, thinks we all gotta start doing a whole lot more talking to our kids and teens about what’s normal with our bodies and in sex for everyone’s health and well-being.

Listen here to Episode 31 here:

An obvious heads up that this episode contains some adult themes and language.
