This conversation dives into: ✨ Pleasure as resistance ✨ Masturbation and self-discovery ✨ Queer identity and sexual liberation ✨ Body autonomy and consent ✨ The emotional labor of sex education ✨ Why pleasure work is necessary work ✨ Rest, joy, and softness as acts of liberation ✨ The many things that get us off beyond physical touch From personal exploration to cultural conversations, Ericka shares why pleasure is not a luxury, but an essential part of living fully and authentically. Because sometimes the nastiest work isn’t sex… It’s unlearning shame. 📖 Featuring: Ericka Hart, author of Nasty Work
