Turning up for what turns us on
As niche kinks become more mainstream and vanilla sex gets slapped with the basic label, this panel of sex positive women are laying it all out there.
Do sexual taboos still exist? What about intimacy in a kinky world? And should someone be arguing the case for the good old missionary position? No topic is off the table in this free-spirited session about what actually feels sexy.
The Ladies, We Need to Talk podcast goes deep on the personal stuff that's hard to talk about, even with your closest mates. With sensitivity, hilarity, personal stories and serious smarts, it tries to work out what normal is by talking to real women about their real experiences.
This panel is for anyone willing to rip open the sealed section on life, relationships and sex – recorded live for the ABC.
Presented by Sydney Opera House
