Advocating for Women's Health with Jessica Pin
“There’s a lot of misinformation that gets published in medical journals and textbooks, and it’s really important to look for primary sources and see if there’s actually any evidence supporting the claims you find.”
Topics Discussed:
🦩 How to avoid medical misinformation by questioning.
🦩 Understanding the extent of female sexuality suppression.
🦩 The relationship between reproduction and sexual pleasure.
Do you question what your doctor tells you or what you read in peer-reviewed medical journals? You should, because there’s a lot of misinformation about women’s health published by “experts” without any evidence and harms women.
In this episode of the Finding Fertility podcast, I speak with Jessica Pin, an advocate for women's health who has had pieces published about clitoral anatomy in medical journals. We discuss female sexuality suppression, genital cosmetic surgeries, and the relationship between reproduction and sexual pleasure.
Listen in to learn the importance of bringing back the pleasure, fun, and excitement of sex during your fertility journey because it creates a mental and emotional aspect that doctors don’t talk about.
“It’s dehumanizing to insist that females can continue reproducing just fine without sexual pleasure.”
