MATRESCENCE, IDENTITY, MOTHERHOOD IDENTITY, RITES OF PASSAGE, MOTHERING, MOTHER SELF, TRANSITIONS IN MOTHERHOOD, PARENTING PODCAST
with a curator, sexual culturalist and author Sarah Forbes
In this conversation, Sarah explains how modern relationships and the mental load placed on mothers are representative of an anti-aphrodisiac cultural tsunami. This dive into motherhood and sexuality is framed by both individual questions of self and identity, as well as broader sociocultural and historical questions about how context shapes individual experiences.
Sarah shares powerful insights into the potential that motherhood has as a pathway to the sexual revolution. She speaks to the barriers and obstacles mothers face in their sexual fulfilment - leading to the ‘orgasm gap’ - and offers advice for how we can rebuild and strengthen our own relationship with our sexuality, without it having to be another thing on our to-do list.
