Let’s talk about Sex with Stephanie Smith

Unravel the secrets of how sexual shame impacts our relationships and parenting. With renowned sex and gender feminist psychotherapist, Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers, we delve into the underexplored territories of how shame in our sexual lives can hinder our ability to foster fulfilling relationships. Dr. Sellers' groundbreaking research exposes the profound effects of patriarchy and sexual shame on our relationships, and how it may hinder our ability to raise confident children.
We navigate the complex labyrinth of sexual shame's influence on relationships, culture, and personal narratives. From its genesis in pre-verbal interactions and societal messages to the damaging effects of inadequate sexual education, we dissect various aspects of this sensitive subject. Under the microscope is rape culture's role in promoting sexual shame and the dysfunctions arising from it, such as vulnerability and distrust in our decisions about safety and autonomy in our sexual relationships.
Approaching the subject of parenting without sexual shame, we offer valuable advice and resources for parents wanting to build a sex-positive legacy. We highlight the significance of child sexual abuse education training, the dynamics of power in abuse situations, and the dire need for mandatory sex education training among physicians. Concluding our journey, we underscore the importance of candid conversations on sexual health and its potential for fostering healthier relationships, reducing STIs and teen pregnancy rates. Join us as we unravel the intricate narrative of sexual shame and its far-reaching impact on our lives.

Gilfy says- It's NOT the size and shape... it's how you move and groove!

As your host and granny, Stephanie, I've got a crucial talk to share with you about body shaming and sexual self-esteem. We're diving headfirst into the deep end of a delicate matter - the torment of penis shaming. A listener from India experienced a distressing encounter with a woman he met on Tinder, leading to a devastating blow to his self-worth. I want you all to remember, size doesn't matter, and no one has the right to make you feel less about yourself on the basis of physical attributes.
Throughout this enlightening episode, I provide a fresh perspective on the age-old question, "Does size really matter?" I want to emphasize how crucial respect and kindness are in sexual relationships and why we should condemn acts of body-shaming. I also share some valuable advice on finding love beyond dating apps, encouraging you to follow your passions as love will find its way. Tune in for an honest, straightforward talk on sexual self-esteem and body shaming, reminding you that self-worth is something you should never compromise on.

Gilfy says- STOP JUDGING!

Ever been a victim of society's harsh labels? Well, it's about time we shatter these stereotypes and foster a culture of acceptance. This episode is a bold effort to debunk societal norms that are quick to judge and categorize us. From body shaming to lifestyle choices, we dissect how society judges us, inspired by a thought-provoking post on the Facebook page, Cowboys just for fun. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by societal pressures and judgement, this episode is just for you!
As your host, Granny, I share a deeper message: let's stop the judgement and start building each other up as we all navigate through this journey of life. I firmly believe that we all are doing the best we can, and it's high time we support each other rather than tearing each other down. We wrap up this enlightening discussion with a dash of humour as my adorable sidekick Barkley implores some playtime. So take a break from your day, tune in, and join us for raw, unfiltered discussions about life and society. Together, let's change the narrative around societal judgement and make acceptance the norm.
