“I would define pleasure as anything that you can do that makes your body feel good,” says Whitney. In the most recent episode of The Well+Good Podcast, sexuality doula Ev’Yan Whitney and Alexandra Fine, CEO and co-founder of sexual pleasure tool company Dame, share their personal journeys to discover what pleasure means to them and discuss the pleasure gap, offering their advice for how we can close it. With that in mind, the time is ripe to pick up a few tips for maximizing the pleasure in your life, no matter how you identify. While mainstream culture has made strides in recent years to destigmatize this active pursuit of sexual pleasure, the work is hardly done to close the gendered pleasure gap and celebrate the experience of it for all people. We all have different preferences and aversions, sexually speaking-so, learning what feels legitimately enjoyable to you could require some experimenting. The concepts of sex and pleasure might be inextricably linked, but the first doesn’t always beget the second simply by default. Welcome to the Well+Good podcast, your guide to finding the habits and practices that fit your frequency. Now, we’re inviting you to join the conversation. At Well+Good, we spend our days talking to and learning from the most interesting people in wellness-experts, thought-leaders, and celebrities.
