Self-Discovery Starts Early: Masturbation, Sexuality, and the Journeys That Shape Our Desire

In this podcast episode, I sit with John Taylor from 'On The Rails Podcast' for a raw, vulnerable, wide-ranging conversation about masturbation — a subject that's as universal as it is often left unspoken.

We dig into how our earliest experiences growing up, quietly shape the way we relate to our own bodies and intimacy well into adulthood. It's a conversation about curiosity, shame, self-discovery, and everything in between — the moments that stay with us long after childhood ends.

What made this chat special was how open and vulnerable John was willing to be, creating space for an honest, unfiltered exchange rather than a clinical or awkward one. We explore how understanding our own relationship with masturbation can be a powerful tool for better sex lives and deeper self-acceptance, wherever we are on our own intimate journeys.

If you've ever felt like this topic is too taboo to talk about out loud, I think you'll find a lot to relate to here — and hopefully, a little more freedom in how you think about it too.
