Breaking the Silence: How Sex Miseducation Shapes Our Lives
The older I get, the more communication becomes sexy, quite frankly, and that's communicating about all the things.
Remember those awkward middle school sex ed classes? Matt Salis and Debbie Sheer sure do, and they’re not holding back in this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast. They dive into how the hush-hush approach to sex education leaves lasting scars on our adult lives. Ever wondered why talking about sex feels so uncomfortable? Matt and Debbie break it down, sharing their own cringe-worthy school experiences and the long-term effects of inadequate sex education.
It’s not just about the birds and the bees; it’s about fulfillment, satisfaction, pride, love, and intimacy—all things that become elusive when open dialogue is missing. And let’s not forget the added layer of complexity when sobriety enters the mix. For years, many have masked their sexual inhibitions with alcohol, but what happens when that crutch is gone? The duo tackles this question head-on, emphasizing the crucial role of communication in healthy relationships.
They also stress the importance of consent, a topic often glossed over in those early lessons. Matt sums it up perfectly: 'The older I get, the more communication becomes sexy, quite frankly, and that's communicating about all the things.' So, if you’re ready for an honest, sometimes uncomfortable but ultimately enlightening conversation about sex and its many facets, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear Matt and Debbie's candid discussion and perhaps start your own conversations about this essential part of human experience.
