This episode was recorded at Philly FatCon!
In the Season 4 opening episode, I discuss the profound impact of body image on sexual satisfaction, emphasize that sexual satisfaction is more closely related to how individuals feel about their bodies rather than the actual size or shape of those bodies, and highlight the detrimental effects of fat phobia on sexual experiences and advocates for a cultural shift towards body positivity and self-acceptance. I encourage listeners to reclaim their pleasure and recognize that societal narratives often misplace blame on the body for sexual performance issues.
