There’s a lot of anxiety in our culture around sexuality in general. And within the topic of understanding one’s sexuality, there’s even more cultural anxiety around masturbation.
I’ve personally had lots of questions around masturbation, and I’m glad to report that I’m not alone – I get many DMs on our Instagram and emails asking sincere questions about this sexual behavior.
I asked Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, one of my favorite marriage and sex experts, to share her insights on the topic. I learned so much from her! Instead of, “Is this particular sexual behavior ok?” there’s a better question to ask instead – which you’ll get to hear in this episode.
I also learned the value of self-definition for expanding one’s sexual agency, in other words, gaining your own testimony so-to-speak and committing to living your life with honesty and integrity to your highest and best values.
