#117: Desirability, Orgasms and Body Politics - interview with Melissa A. Fabello

I’m interviewing Melissa A. Fabello, feminist writer and speaker. We talk about desirability politics, how our conditioned beliefs shape our sexual experiences, orgasms and a primer on feminism. In this episode, we chat about:

- How Melissa got into body politics and how this gave her a framework for understanding the world,

- Why understanding body image through the feminist lens can be a catalyst to healing,

- What desirability politics are and why they are important, 

- The influence that societal standards have on who we are attracted to, 

- What to do if your partner is not on board with body positivity,

- The role of body image on sexual satisfaction,

- The different kinds of orgasms and how we experience them differently,

- Why feminism is not the simple belief that men and women are equal,

- The importance of intersectionality,

Plus, so much more!
