029 Am I Queer? Are You Queer?

Ask A Sex Therapist with Heather Shannon

In celebration of Pride month, let's explore the concepts of queerness and questioning. In this episode, Heather questions the usefulness of labels and expertly navigates the topic of "Am I Queer?" Through personal anecdotes, Heather explores how sexuality can be fluid and how cultural biases can impact one's sexual identity. Whether identifying as queer, lesbian, bicurious or genderfluid, listeners are encouraged to question their own sexual identity, and to explore their motivations for sex too.

This episode is about questioning everything we've ever been taught about sexual identity, increasing consciousness around sex and breaking free from the matrix of who we "should" be. You won't want to miss out on this thought-provoking episode, and be sure to follow the show for more enlightening discussions on sex and relationships with Certified Sex Therapist, Heather Shannon.

Listen in for:

• How we define "queer"
• The pros & cons of choosing labels
• Why it's important not to get too attached to a sexual identity
• Heather's personal exploration of labels, social biases and queerness
