In this impactful episode of Taboo, host Fiona invites renowned sex and intimacy coach Sarah Rose Bright to delve into a revolutionary conversation about the need to redefine societal attitudes towards sex. Sarah shares her journey from fear and shame around sex to empowerment and fulfillment, highlighting how she now guides individuals and couples in transforming their sexual experiences into profound and pleasurable connections.

Tune in as they explore the pervasive conservative attitudes towards sex, the impact of past religious teachings, and the legacy of misinformation and stigma in countries like Ireland. With an emphasis on open discussions, the duo underscores the importance of talking about consent, boundaries, and sexual health to diminish anxiety and create healthier perspectives for future generations.

They also touch upon the shifting perspectives of sex through different life phases, particularly during menopause, and emphasize the vital role of communication and self-exploration in fostering satisfying sexual and intimate relationships.
