I’m curious how many of you identified with Daphne in Bridgerton when she realized she’d been duped by her husband about sex?
Nobody (i.e. her mom) had ever talked to her about sex. So Simon was able to manipulate her into believing that their sex life was “normal.” Even though it may seem so ridiculous that ANYONE could be so uninformed or that naive…but really?!
We have a problem in our culture of not wanting to talk about HEALTHY sex.
Sure – we love to talk about unhealthy sex and are constantly being bombarded with images of overly sexualized and objectified women. But try asking your average married couple what their sex life is like and they will likely run for the hills.
Also, I’m guessing that if you’ve been in a relationship with a sex addict that you may have resonated with Daphne. You too, have come to realize that you have no idea what a healthy sex life looks like. I sure didn’t! Even after I got remarried at 48 – I still didn’t know.
SO, today we are going to talk about sexual healing!
We will laugh.
We will cry.
We will sweat uncomfortably together as we sort through the lingering effects of sexual betrayal trauma, societal expectations and religious indoctrination.
Because dammit – we deserve to have a healthy (and hot!) sex life after betrayal.
