A deep conversation about the “sexual self” — the inner part of you that governs desire, turn-ons, boundaries, and truth — and what happens when you stop silencing it. What if the part of you that governs your sexuality doesn’t care about your self-image, your relationship rules, or what makes sense logically? In this episode, I explore the concept of the sexual self — the independent inner persona that holds your desires, turn-ons, boundaries, fantasies, and truth. I talk about: Why so many people feel conflicted in long-term relationships The disconnect between the logical self and the sexual self Why suppressing desire creates tension, numbness, and performance-based sex My own experience of silencing my bisexuality How conversations about non-monogamy often reveal a deeper issue: disconnection from desire itself The powerful shift that happens when you stop treating your sexuality like a problem to solve This is not really an episode about non-monogamy. It’s an episode about honesty. About listening to the part of you that has been whispering underneath the performance all along. PS. The movie I mention is called Golden Compass.  🎁 FREE gifts from Thorhildur if you are curious about Non-monogamy: {Video Coaching} 13 Questions to Ask Before You Redesign Your Love Life - that’ll save you years of struggle & confusion: https://risewiththorhildur.com/video-freebie-nonmonogamy {PDF Playbook} Tired of default monogamy?
