What happens when you mix professional cuddling, surrogate partner therapy, and a playful rebellion against toxic masculinity? 📄 Episode Notes:In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Michelle Renee — Surrogate Therapy Partner, Professional Cuddler, and all-around sex geek. We explore her trauma-informed approach to intimacy work, the inspiration behind the delightfully subversive Soft Cock Week, and how understanding responsive desire can change the way we think about sex. Michelle also opens up about her own journey, and we wander into all kinds of delightful rabbit holes — from the Wheel of Consent to why safe, non-sexual touch is just as important as sexual pleasure. Whether you’re curious about the world of surrogate partner therapy, want to rethink desire, or just enjoy unapologetic conversations about pleasure and connection, this episode has you covered. 📚 Resources & Mentions: Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent Brian Gibney Cuddlist Embrace Surrogate Partner Resource Group Movember Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski — Website Shameless Sex Podcast Reid Mihalko 🌐 Connect with Michelle: Website: meetmichellerenee.com Social: @meetmichellerenee Soft Cock Week: softcockweek.com 💌 Learn more about the show:whatexcitesus.com
