The artist Mimi Zhu explores what it means to heal from sexual trauma in their new book, Be Not Afraid of Love, the October pick for Lemonada’s book club with Penguin Random House. On this episode of Good Sex, Mimi takes that same tender approach alongside the love of their life, Sammy, to discuss sex ed, feeling present in the bedroom, and, as always, the importance of lube.
If you’re experiencing abuse or violence, there are resources available from caring providers:
Find Mimi at @mimizhuxiyuan on Instagram, and get more info about the Lemonada Book Club and our newsletter at lemonadabookclub.com.
As expected, Good Sex contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
