<p>Have you had an experience where someone crossed your boundaries? We had a very relatable and eye-opening chat with Dr. Varuna Srinivasan (@drvarunasrinivasan #southasiansexed) about the importance of consent in dating, sex and relationships (both romantic and non-romantic), and how to establish boundaries with ourselves before setting them with others. Listen to learn how toxic masculinity can also be enabled by women, and why sexual exploration is so important - particularly in South Asian communities.</p> <p>Content warning: brief mentions of rape and sexual assault</p> <p>Follow Dr. Varuna Srinivasan: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drvarunasrinivasan/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.varunasrinivasan.com">varunasrinivasan.com</a></p> <p>*ANNOUNCEMENT* We're on Clubhouse! <a href="https://www.joinclubhouse.com/event/maaJVZqm">Join us for a discussion</a> on Consent &amp; Boundaries on 3/14 at 5pm PST/8pm EST</p> <p>Follow us @desiamericanpod on <a href="http://instagram.com/desiamericanpod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="http://facebook.com/desiamericanpod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/desiamericanpod" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, or send us an email: [email protected]</p> <p>Fill out our guest/feedback form: <a href="http://bit.ly/2KlTyi6" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2KlTyi6</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Music by Thusanthan Kannan <a href="http://soundcloud.com/thuskann" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://soundcloud.com/thuskann</a></p>
