Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons joins us for a conversation about the ways racial inequity hurts the sex lives of BIPOC folks. Although many view sex as an escape from the stresses of real-world issues and a common experience we all share -- it’s not that simple. Orgasms are not the great equalizer. Political, cultural, and systemic societal forces have everything to do with the ways we experience pleasure. Some of what we unpack in this episode: 

 

  • How the belief that only men who have money deserve sex impacts BIPOC communities
  • The importance of distinguishing between pleasure worthiness & entitlement
  • Why sex ed in schools & adult pleasure education are key
  • Tips for navigating cultural pressures in relationships while prioritizing pleasure, boundaries & survival
  • Why good sex can be an act of revolution & resistance
  • How race, capitalism, and sex intersect in complex ways
  • What we can do as allies & PoC to shift the culture, subvert systems & more
