I recorded a fun Skype session with Ashley (a sexuality educator and clinician who also has genital herpes) about everything herpes. Some of the topics covered include …
- Debunking some myths about herpes (getting herpes facts!)
- How to shift away from shame and blame and into self-acceptance
- Enjoying sex just as much (or more than before) with your herpes-free partner while still protecting them (which can be super connecting and sexy!)
- Having the herpes talk
- Using a herpes outbreak as an opportunity to actually have more passion and intimacy in the bedroom
- How to have AMAZING SEX (yes, even with herpes!)
- The importance of a supportive herpes community in the herpes healing process
- How Ashley has been processing and healing from getting herpes through sexual assault
- The false beliefs around not feeling worthy, being unlovable with herpes
- How to change the herpes stigma
