Explícito
In this episode Durell is joined by serial entrepreneur, and master intimacy director and coach. Princess Faith. Durell and Princess Faith begin the episode talking about how they got connected and the mutual respect they have for each other. Durell shares that the subject of sex can be taboo to discuss and that oftentimes due to religion we have to unlearn what we were taught and relearn from a much more open perspective. Princess shares that many of us were never taught how to view sex for pleasure because of the fact that it was usually only presented in the form of only being done for procreation. Princess and Durell talk about the importance of understanding education when it comes to sex because most people usually are making decisions and establishing certain viewpoints often from a misinformed foundation. Durell shares that he often shares a similar correlation when he’s working with new artists/creatives and coaching them because having the right information to work with and informed decision making is what leads to the outcome that is desired. Durell and Princess talk discuss the fact that most women when it comes to making a list of what they want in choosing a life partner aren’t making a conscious first choice of selecting a man with a disability. Princess shares that we are now in a society where women are making the choice of self-preservation and that makes it even more unlikely for them to choose a man with a disability.
