Listen to part 2 with Melisa Pintor of Sex Positive Families. 

In this episode of Your Diagnosis I sit down with Melissa of @sexpositive_families . We talk about everything from racism to sexual pleasure. ⁣ ⁣ @sexpositive_families is one my favorite accounts. Melissa has a way with words in providing incredible sexed - it's seriously some of the best I have seen/read/listened. Melissa goes beyond genitals and basic sex ed - its the entire human curriculum.⁣ ⁣ If you have kids you should definitely check out sexpositivefamilies.com and take a look at the variety of offerings that will for sure benefit you and your family. ⁣ ⁣ If you don’t have kids you should be following sexpositivefamilies for all the education you never received - because none of us received quality sex education. ⁣ ⁣ I’m so excited to share this with everybody. There will be 2 different parts. Here is part 1. Part 2 will be next week. ⁣ ⁣
