Sofie wonders if it’s about ‘enjoying bodies’, but how can you relax into desire if you have self-loathing around your body, or don’t trust that others will enjoy your body?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, do you think labels around gender and sexuality are restrictive or liberating? Fearne and Sofie chat about their thoughts, and Sofie also explains why your PTSD, anxiety, or OCD is trying to protect you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Will I Ever Have Sex Again is the Happy Place Book Club read for July, and is out now.</p><br><p>Thank you to Bonnier for the use of the Will I Ever Sex Again audiobook, read by Sofie Hagen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/2440df" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Fearne Cotton</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/22dba5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Jo Cheetham</a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/23811a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Jennie Godfrey</a></p><p>Child on the line is a three-part documentary podcast series celebrating the Volunteer Counsellors of Childline, and the brave children &amp; young people who contact the helpline service.</p><p>Listen here: <a href="https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
