So many women grow up without ever being taught how their own bodies actually work and the gap that leaves doesn’t close just because we get older. It shapes how we experience pleasure, how we communicate with partners, and how we feel about ourselves.
In this episode of Fernwood Unfiltered, host Georgie Tunny sits down with sexologist and founder of MC Sexology, Laura Miano, for an open, stigma-free conversation about women’s sexual health and wellbeing. From the sex ed women never got, to understanding how pleasure actually works, to navigating intimacy in real relationships, this is the conversation most of us never had but always needed.
Laura brings warmth, expertise, and zero judgement to a topic that’s too often shrouded in shame. Whether you’re reconnecting with yourself after a big life change, navigating intimacy in a long-term relationship, or simply curious about your own body, this episode will leave you feeling more informed, more empowered, and more at ease with who you are.
What You’ll Learn:
- The biggest gaps in traditional sex education and why they matter for women today
- How women actually experience pleasure, physically, mentally, and emotionally
- What holds women back from fully enjoying sex and intimacy
- How to talk to your partner about what you want, even if you’ve never done it before
- What a healthy, evolving dynamic around intimacy looks like in a relationship
- How to feel safe enough in your body to experience desire and pleasure on your own terms
