Summary

Sex Is a Skill. Beducated is where you learn it. Join the world's largest sex school and access 150+ courses for curious adults: https://beduc.at/bg2620-boody ------ In this episode of Lovers, I sit down with my sister Lauren Morrison to say something ick: we both still enjoy attention from men. While we prepare for Mash Majesty, our section for Toronto Caribbean Carnival, we’ve been having important conversations around what carnival represents for us, and in addition to community and culture, it’s also a day to flirt with the gaze! In this episode, we talk about how motherhood, marriage, long-term partnership, and aging can shift the way women experience themselves socially and romantically, especially in a culture that simultaneously rewards female desirability while shaming women for acknowledging that they enjoy it. Together, we unpack why so many women quietly miss feeling desired, why being loved and being wanted are not always the same emotional experience, and how spaces like Carnival and Mash Majesty can reconnect women to embodiment, visibility, sensuality, play, and freedom without shame. This episode is deeply personal, but it’s also connected to the spirit behind Mash Majesty itself: creating a space where women can feel expressive, magnetic, joyful, powerful, sensual, seen, and fully alive in their bodies. If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s shallow to enjoy attention, missed feeling desired in your relationship, or struggled with how motherhood, aging, or partnership changed the way the world responds to you, this conversation is for you.

0:11.0	Everyone's response around me is constantly measured.

0:21.6	neighborhood people. I didn't know I was pretty. I didn't have my kids there. I wasn't a mom.

0:39.3	I haven't had that.
0:41.3	I haven't had that in a very, very long time.
0:43.3	And it's not to say that, oh, my husband doesn't make me feel beautiful.
0:47.3	Because this is a thing that women don't say, I know that it will come with a lot of pushback.
0:52.3	And I know this because years ago, Aisha Curry was on red tabletop. I have zero. This sounds weird, but like male attention. How dare you? You have such a great thing at home. How dare you? How dare you? You shouldn't feel this way? I understand that. Because for the longest time when I had that feeling, I gave myself those comments.
1:11.6	But it creates a different ripple effect.
