This International Women's Day Sex Talks explored what women around the world really think about when they're having sex, what this tells us about the enduring taboos that still surround sex and female pleasure, and why respect for female pleasure equates to respect for gender equality.
Joining Sex Talks host and creator, Emma-Louise Boynton were three brilliant panelists, including:
Lucy-Anne Holmes, the author and activist who recently published "Women on top of the world" - a collection of searingly honest testimonies of women around the world on what sex means and feels like to them. She also happens to be a sexual priestess, and if you don't know what that is... well, you'll have to join us to find out.
Sangeeta Pillai, founder of Soul Sutras, a ‘feminist platform for all bad betis & besharam bibis’, is creating a safe space for South Asian womxn to tell their stories and tackle taboos surrounding sex, sexuality, periods, menopause, sexual harassment and more.

Sex Talks With Emma-Louise Boynton
Sex is about so much more than just fucking. It's about our relationship to ourselves and to our bodies. It’s about how we experience gender and the power dynamics that come with it. It’s about our capacity for vulnerability and how willing we are to let others in.
Our relationship to sex tells us so much about who we are and how we show up in the world. So why don't we talk about it more openly?
In this podcast, host and founder of Sex Talks, Emma-Louise Boynton, sits down with a new guest each week to do just that. Opening up discussion on typically taboo topics, Emma-Louise explores issues around sex and relationships, gender and the role technology is playing in changing the way we date, love and fuck.
From writers, authors and therapists, to actors, musicians and founders, the podcast brings in voices from across the board to talk about sex.
