Sex Positive Asian Auntie: Embracing Sensuality & Solo Polyamory with Jayda

In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I welcome Jayda Shuavarnnasri, aka “Sex Positive Asian Auntie”, a Queer Southeast Asian sexuality and relationship educator. She works to liberate folks from sexual shame by creating space for authentic conversations about sexuality, relationships, identity, and healing. She is also the co-producer of Don’t Say Sorry podcast, which centers the experience of Southeast Asian women navigating relationships, mental health and sexuality.

Main Topics Discussed:

• How Thai and Buddhist culture influences sexual expression in women
• Using sensuality to reach liberation
• How to fall in love without falling into a co-dependent pattern
• Defining “solo polyamory”
• Getting clear on what intimacy means to us

Conclusion: We all could learn more about what intimacy means to us. We can’t just be pouring from our overflow. We also need space to deepen our well. Without stillness, we eventually end up pouring from a shallow cup. In what ways are you making the space to dig deep so that, when we pour, we’re not just operating from a place of service, from a desire to deepen our relationship with ourselves.

Action Integration: To choose silence is to choose oppression. Show up as a badass ancestor in the making and shift the story for your future lineage.
