#503 From Selling Pleasure to Feeling It with Paigge Gilbert
In this episode, we’re joined by our marketing director Paigge Gilbert for a deeply curious conversation about sex, pleasure, intimacy, and desire. We talk about what it’s actually like to train as a sex and relationship coach through Somatica—and dive into some big questions about how we experience and explore our erotic selves. We explore: Our core desires and how to discover how you want to feel during sex Once you know how you want to feel, how do you figure out what you want to explore? How to access your erotic energy when you feel disconnected from your body—or even unattracted to your partner Ways to become more embodied and experience more pleasure Why allowing yourself to feel your erotic desire, even in public, can be powerful What kink and spanking can actually do for us—and why certain things turn us on The power of dirty talk, curiosity, and “cheerleading” someone as they share their erotic fantasies How to get curious about desire rather than judging it What sex and relationship coaching training through Somatica is really like This is a conversation about moving beyond the idea that there’s a “right” way to experience sexuality and instead getting curious about what makes you feel alive, embodied, connected, and turned on. About our guest: Paigge Gilbert has spent the last eight years figuring out how to successfully market the things the internet doesn’t always make easy to talk about: sex, pleasure, intimacy, and relationships.
