Heather embarks on a new exploration of “why sex is good for you” with groundbreaking psychologist and integrative mental health expert Dr. Angela Fisher, who pursues the question “Why is sex a good thing?” by first super clear up front; “I’m going to divide that out into two brands of sex. recreational sex and procreational sex.”
The conversation dives into the notion of “recreational sex,” uncovering why it’s not just a good time, but a crucial element for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Together, Heather and Angela begin to illuminate the physiological and psychological wonders of sex, especially for women. Dr. Fisher speaks specifically to the incredible design of the clitoris as the physical center of female pleasure and its evolutionary significance, inviting us to contemplate the deeper being of our own bodies.
They address the surprising understudy of the female orgasm and its potential to enhance bone density, joint health, and overall vitality through the hormonal dance of sex and connection-building power of oxytocin and prolactin.
Get ready to think about some things! The conversation doesn’t shy away from the significant differences in sexual experiences between men and women, with Dr. Fisher sharing intriguing statistics. They bravely confront the lack of education about female pleasure and the clitoris, in what ‘s left of sex ed in schools, in medical text and curricula and even pornography, challenging unrealistic portrayals of sex in media and reframing the significance of ethical behavior and true consent as a required cornerstone of true safety, and so vulnerability, and so personal discovery.
Heather and Dr. Fisher will speak together again soon in person at Cannadelic in Miami on May 23rd and 24th, 2025. Dr. Fisher also offers a glimpse into the “Tantredelic” experience to be featured again, a live event pathway to meaningful, consensual connection, oxytocin activation, and trauma-informed practices.
