Sexual Scripts

I was absolutely honoured to be on @cindyscharkey Permission for Pleasure podcast talking about Sexual Scripts, one of my favourite topics!
Sexual scripts are sexual constructs they are all about the learned messages we have received from society, on how we think we "should" behave or what role we "should" play in our sexual encounters, desires, relationships, and sexual selves. These can be both explicitly learned through messages, or passively through the unconscious. Either way they are super difficult to negate or even be aware of!
I talk about about philosophy and sociology and how that creates the structure by which sexual scripts started through.
Cindy and I talk through some examples of sexual scripts and how many of them are unhelpful, and perhaps even harmful.
We talk about how we can overcome these scripts by learning that you have power to deconstruct the narratives given to us.
