How comfortable are you talking about urinary leakage, sexual pain, changes in libido, and how long sex lasts with a friend? How about your doctor? So many women are struggling with sexual health and genitourinary issues and not talking with anyone about it, much less getting help.
From social stigma and the media’s portrayal of how women’s bodies should look, behave, and perform there is outward and inward pressure on how we’re supposed to show up in our daily lives and in our relationships.
Maybe you’ve peed a little when you laughed or sneezed, or you’ve had a partner say something negative about you or your body that made you feel less than or embarrassed.
