Summary

Peggy Orenstein, bestselling author of Girls and Sex, explores the gaps and nuances of intimacy. Today, she talks to Elise about how girls and women are taught that being sexy is important, but being “sexual” is reserved for men. They talk about why women are groomed to think about the potential dangers and harms of sex first—and why we often never learn to prioritize joy (or orgasm). Orenstein’s research involves a lot of fieldwork—she visits fraternities the morning after a party to find out why texting a sexual partner the next day can be so fraught. She helps us reframe the way we think about sex and pleasure. She helps us take back control of our own sexual experience. And she guides us as we try to help our children and the generations behind us to grow into their own fulfilling intimate lives. (For more, see The goop Podcast hub.)

0:00.0	Hi, Elise Lunin here. I'm the co-host with Quenath of the Goop podcast, and my guest today
0:09.8	is Peggy Ornstein. She is the thought leader in so many respects, particularly on issues
0:14.9	surrounding young women and sexuality. We'll get to that in a minute. First, thank you
0:20.0	to the team at You Theory, who we partnered up with to bring you today's episode.
0:29.4	The research and development team here at Goop spends a lot of time thinking about how
0:33.1	we can formulate beauty and wellness products that work from the inside out. Along these
0:37.3	lines, You Theory is a brand we've admired for a while. If you're not familiar, let me
0:42.0	fill you in. You Theory is a family-owned and operated wellness brand. Their MO is to enhance
0:47.6	health and beauty through the use of dietary supplements that are carefully developed in-house
0:52.0	by their team of experts, using high-quality ingredients from around the world. You Theory's
0:57.2	collagen powder, for example, contains 18 amino acids that are the building blocks of
1:01.3	healthy skin. It includes 6 grams of hydrolyzed collagen peptides per serving, plus hair favorite
1:07.3	biotin for added beauty benefits, and vitamin C to support the body's natural production
1:12.4	of collagen. The best part? It's super easy. You can just add a daily scoop to your morning
1:17.6	coffee, smoothie, or beverage choice. You can find You Theory online and in-person at your
1:22.9	local health food and wellness retailers. For more info, just head to You Theory.com.
1:33.8	Don't hold anything too tightly. Just wish for it, want it, let it come from the intention
1:41.0	of real truth for you, and then let it go. For me, our soul is like it's unbound, it's
1:47.7	limitless, but we will use words to limit ourselves.
1:52.1	And people stop believing that somebody's got your back or Superman's coming. We turn
1:58.3	to ourselves, and that's where you become empowered.
2:01.6	Courageous participation attracts positive things.
