*LIVE* What Women around the world think about when they're having sex
Sex Talks With Emma-Louise BoyntonShow Notes
*This episode is a live recording of a previous Sex Talks event.*
This International Women's Day Sex Talks explored what women around the world really think about when they're having sex, what this tells us about the enduring taboos that still surround sex and female pleasure, and why respect for female pleasure equates to respect for gender equality.
Joining Sex Talks host and creator, Emma-Louise Boynton were three brilliant panelists, including:
Lucy-Anne Holmes, the author and activist who recently published "Women on top of the world" - a collection of searingly honest testimonies of women around the world on what sex means and feels like to them. She also happens to be a sexual priestess, and if you don't know what that is... well, you'll have to join us to find out.
Sangeeta Pillai, founder of Soul Sutras, a ‘feminist platform for all bad betis & besharam bibis’, is creating a safe space for South Asian womxn to tell their stories and tackle taboos surrounding sex, sexuality, periods, menopause, sexual harassment and more. Sangeeta hosts the award-winning Masala podcast.

More from Sex Talks With Emma-Louise Boynton
On this week’s episode of the podcast we wanted to talk about love, specifically how we move away from our societal obsession with romantic love and instead cultivate a more expansive, inclusive notion of love. One that releases us from the pressure to find “the one” and instead encourages us to find the romance in our platonic relationships.
On this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Anna Mather.
Cindy Gallop is the founder of Make Love Not Porn, a platform for people to post real-world sex videos. It’s not porn, she says, it’s social sex.
*Trigger warning* we discuss issues around sexual violence, rape and assault in this episode, so please take care while listening. As always, I’ve put resources in the show notes for anyone who has been affected by the topics discussed.
