In this episode of I AM HUMAN, sexuality researcher Kaamna Bhojwani discusses the complex interplay between sexuality and shame and how we can shed the shame and guilt to embrace a new self-identity. She also teaches us why it's important to open conversations about sex and sexuality with our children early as well as why we should expect that sex and sexuality will evolve over the course of a long-term relationship.
Kaamna Bhojwani is a preeminent researcher in the field of sexuality, with a particular focus on the complex interplay between shame, spirituality, and self-identity.
