Show Notes

O.school: where religious conservatives can learn about sex…

O.school was created to be a sexual education resource for people who come from religious conservative backgrounds.

Sexual shame (and any kind of shame, for that matter) drains us of

our personal power, which hinders our ability to show up as our best

selves.

But unfortunately, for religious conservatives, sexual shame is often woven deeply into the cultural fabric.

How can you find answers when you’re too ashamed to ask the questions?

At O.school they understand that sexual shame can keep people from even asking the questions they most need answered.

That’s why they use their technical expertise to find trustworthy curated answers to the questions that they know their viewers would be too ashamed to ask.

Also, O.school is extra careful about how they present and share information…

They never feature nudity, because people who are deeply struggling with sexual shame typically react poorly to sexual images.

The“unsiexist” brand in sex…

At O.school they teach using animations that are frank and direct and

medically accurate (instead of featuring photographs and videography

that might be arousing.)

They don’t want to be “titiliating” or arousing. Instead they are trying to create the “unsiexist” brand in sex.

“Sexual wellness is more about wellness and health than it is about sex.”

Sexual wellness is an integral part of overall wellness and health.

O.school is here so to help people achieve sexual wellness, even if all they were ever taught was sexual shame.

And in this episode of Women Wanting Women I interview, Andrea Barrica, the queer female founder of O.school, who shares:

* The best advice I’ve ever heard for how to talk to your parents when coming out* Tips for how to increase your sex drive, and * The juiciest questions asked by their audience (and how she answers them)
