Is there a podcast about desire and pleasure for women over 40?

I have stopped a guest mid sentence and never published the episode.

They were promoting themselves, and my listener was getting nothing out of it. So I ended it.

Every episode has to pass one test. Can a woman listening take one thing and do it right there, in her own body, while the episode is still playing? If the answer is no, it doesn't go out.

I make this podcast to give back. I put incredible women, and men, in front of my listeners when they want the same thing.

What is The Scrumptious Woman podcast about?

It is about desire, pleasure, touch and intimacy, and coming home to your own body. There are two kinds of episode.

• Just me. Short solo teachings on touch, desire and the nervous system, each with a practice in it.
• Conversations. Guests who have something a listener can use straight away.

A few to start with, all solo:

1. It Was Never About Him. Where your aliveness actually starts, before anyone else enters the room.
2. The Truth About Squirting. Amrita, permission, and three minutes of taking touch for your own pleasure.
3. What a Dungeon Taught Me About Your Bedroom. Why a body lets go faster inside clear edges.
4. The Skill You Practise Alone Does Not Transfer to Partner Sex. Body awareness turns out to be three separate skills.

Is there a podcast about desire after menopause?

Yes, and I talk about it from inside it.

I am post-menopause and having the best intimacy of my life, and it freaks people out.

On this show, desire after menopause belongs to a body that can still open, swell and reach out into the world, once it feels safe enough to.

What does a pleasure podcast for women over 40 actually teach?

A practice you can do before the episode ends. Here is the kind of thing you get.

• Touch Base. Thumb to forefinger. Feel the ridges. Say “I am safe right now”. Hold for two minutes.
• Three minutes on your wrist. Stroke just the inside of your wrist, so slowly you can feel every single stroke.
• The stoplight. Green is going well. Orange is your boundary, so slow down. Red is a hard stop.
• Taking. Three minutes on a timer where one person takes the touch they want, and the other allows.

None of it needs a partner to start. Your body comes first. Someone else can come in later.

How long are the episodes, and where can I listen?

Each episode is between 20 and 40 minutes, so it fits a walk, a bath or the drive home.

Picture another year of hearing midlife described as something to get through. Then picture twenty minutes, your own hand on your own wrist, and a body that remembers it was always meant to want.
