This is the Authentic Sex Podcast, Real Life Conversations about sex, pleasure and relationships.

I'm your host, Juliet Allen. Welcome to this episode of the Authentic Sex Podcast.

My name is Juliet.

I'm a sexologist, sex coach and tantra practitioner.

And today I'm talking about the topic of masturbation for the modern woman.

So self-pleasure is super important. It's important for us for a lot of reasons which I'm

going to go into and it's a topic that I teach a lot about. In particular with my one-on-one coaching clients, I teach a lot about self-pleasure and

dive into reasons why women and men avoid self-pleasure or use it for the wrong reasons.

So today I'm going to dive a little bit into my own journey with self-pleasure. Most recently in the past

years, how I've incorporated tantra into my self-pleasure and then give you some top tips on how

you can really take these practical tips into your life and transform your self-pleasure,

also known as masturbation,

into something that's more empowering for you as a woman.

So, why self-pleasure? Some people don't self-pleasure at all, and that's okay.

Others self-pleasure a lot, and that's's okay too and then there's people like me who at the moment are in between sometimes I self-pleasure sometimes

I go days weeks without self-pleasureing so it's all okay it's all really natural

masturbation is really natural babies are masturbating in utero. Research is shown.

So we start touching our genitals really early on because it feels fucking awesome.

And so I think the biggest thing I want to talk about today is addiction to clitoral orgasm

and why self-pleasure can actually not be serving us as women

because we become addicted to a certain feeling and we're actually not getting everything

we can out of pleasure and orgasm.
