In this episode Mou answers a question about getting your orgasm back after a break up. Mou reminds us that self love is built in, that masturbation is health benefit, and a gift of luxury to use to relieve stress, to help with grief, and a tool to connect to self and our bodies. Too many harmful messages about masturbation, especially for women and women identified folx in our culture that objectify women but don’t give them a lot of power to own their sexuality.
