Redefining Sober Sex and Intimacy with Abby Bollum

Sexuality is not just about penetration or orgasm, it's about feeling turned on and pleasurable. When we expand our view of what sex is, it opens up so much more for us.
Sex and intimacy can be tricky topics, especially when you're navigating them sober. In this episode of 'Angels Anonymous', Vanessa Persephone sits down with her close friend Abby Bollum to unpack the layers of sober sex, intimacy, and relationships. Abby brings a wealth of experience and wisdom, making this conversation both enlightening and relatable. They dive into how societal norms have shaped our understanding of sex and why it's crucial to expand that view beyond just penetration and orgasm.
Abby opens up about her personal journey toward embracing her sexuality and queerness, sharing candidly about the rollercoaster ride of early sobriety. She discusses the pressures women often face in the bedroom and offers practical advice on how to communicate your needs and boundaries effectively. One standout moment is when Abby talks about embodying your 'NO' and really tuning into your inner feelings about intimacy.
The episode is a treasure trove of insights on taking baby steps to overcome insecurities and fully step into your sexual self. Whether you're in recovery, exploring sobriety, or simply curious about a more nuanced approach to sex and relationships, this episode has something valuable for you. Vanessa and Abby's open-hearted dialogue encourages listeners to question their own perspectives and find new ways to connect intimately without relying on substances.
Don't miss out on this thought-provoking discussion that promises to leave you feeling more empowered and informed about your own journey with sex and intimacy.
