There is no doubt sexual wellness has risen to fame. Vibrators are cementing themselves as the new celebrity fragrance, with the faces of Lily Allen, Dakota Johnson and Abbie Chatfield appearing next to boxes of buzzing toys.
Despite this, some women still grapple with their sexuality – take the orgasm gap, or one study citing 39 per cent of women never engaging in solo play, despite having a high sex drive (compared to just 19 per cent of men).
Noting this, sex coach Georgia Grace (@gspot._) says while sexual wellness contributes to overall wellness, stigma and shame can get in the way. “Shame is such a big thing, and it's such a big area that lots of sexologists, sex therapists and sex coaches support their clients through, and those who experience it are certainly not alone,” she says.
Grace helps us unpack why some of us might feel shame when it comes to sexuality and how we can overcome it.
THE ORIGINS OF SEX SHAME
Ultimately, how sexually liberated we feel comes down to our background. Grace says this includes our social, cultural, political and religious beliefs.
