Ever been asked ‘What turns you on’? Sex and relationship coach Gretchen Shanks had been celibate for years, with no idea how to answer that question. So she hires an expert - Bawdy’s own Princess Fancypants! - who sends her a single-spaced 12 page checklist (don’t worry, it’s not comprehensive) & together, they explore Gretchen’s FuckNos & HellYesses. This episode has ProTips, as well as bondage advice on how to make your kinky fantasies come true. #FindYourVoice #ProDomme #Listicle

Gretchen Shanks (she/her) is a Seattle-based sex and dating coach trained in the Somatica method, an experiential and practical method of coaching that’s grounded in the body. She came to this work after confronting and tackling her own struggles with body image, dating, and shame about her sexuality. Now she gets great satisfaction helping others untangle the knots of socialization, shame, and uncertainty so they can embrace and embody their erotic self and have the kind of sex and relationships they’ve always wanted.
