S10E4 - A Woman’s Right To Pleasure: Ancient Erotic Text & Sensuality with Seema Anand

What can ancient erotic texts teach us about sensuality & sexuality?

Many narratives around women's sensuality are rooted in religious-sin, purity or porn-that-distorts reality. But what could we learn about a woman's right to pleasure from ancient erotic texts, texts such as the Kama Sutra?

On the podcast today we’re joined by mythologist Seema Anand who has been studying women’s story of pleasure & sexuality through the Kama Sutra for the past 23 years.

Join us for this conversation exploring:

• Seema’s search for stories about a woman’s right to her own pleasure & how it lead her to the Kama Sutra
• Ancient erotic texts & what they have to teach us about pleasure
• What the Kama Sutra is (it’s not a book of positions) and why jewelry & pleasure are central to it’s erotic teachings
• What’s missing for modern women - how our emotional & intellectual vocabulary around pleasure is letting us down
