When it comes to sex, you deserve to get what you want and to be in control of your body, your pleasure, and your sexual health. However, in order to do that, you have to be sexually empowered. You have to know what it is that you want in the first place, and be able to communicate about that. This is something that a lot of us really struggle with, so let’s talk about sexual empowerment. Today’s show is all about building up your sexual self-confidence, learning how to ask for what you want, and being able to say no when there’s something you don’t want.

Dr. Tara is back to give us tips on sexual empowerment. She is an associate professor of relational and sexual communication at California State University Fullerton, a sex and relationship coach, and host of the podcast Luvbites. Some of the topics we discuss include:

• What it means to be sexually empowered.
• Where to start when it comes to building up sexual self-confidence.
• How to stop judging your own fantasies and desires.
• How to tell your partner what you want.
• How to say no to things you don’t want.
• The role of contraception and abortion rights in sexual empowerment.
• The difference between sexual empowerment and attention-seeking behavior.
