Neuroscience & Philosophy Student at Harvard University | Founding Partner of MAMAMUSE™ | Co-President of Harvard Undergraduate Women in Entrepreneurship
This summer, MamaMuse is launching Sex Ed in the City, an in-person series in NYC! Amid rising concerns over sexual strangulation—a disturbing trend among young adults—this course addresses a critical need. Recent studies reveal that nearly 58% of women have experienced choking during sex, underscoring the dangerous impact of pornography and hookup culture on sexual behaviors. Sexual strangulation restricts blood flow to the brain, leading to immediate dangers such as unconsciousness and brain damage, and potentially long-term effects like cognitive impairments and psychological disorders. With the average age for first exposure to porn being around 12-14 years, it's clear that porn often serves as the default sex education, promoting violent behaviors towards women. Sexual violence is not just a statistic; it's a societal issue that demands a profound transformation in how we educate and discuss sex. Our program confronts these challenges head-on by providing an ethical, educational, and engaging environment where women can learn about and discuss their sexuality openly and safely free from male-dominant frameworks of sex. Our program, developed in collaboration with leading academics, physicians, therapists, sex workers, youth, older generations, business leaders, humanitarians, and sex and fem tech entrepreneurs from around the world, emphasizes the importance of open communication and informed consent. It provides a curriculum for learning about affirmative, positive, and pleasurable sexual encounters, addressing gaps in current sex education. Join us, and you'll form meaningful relationships, gain a deeper understanding of feminine physiology, and learn how to navigate and transform the narratives around sex and pleasure (and learn how to find it!). This is about creating a community where every voice is valued and where we can collectively redefine the narrative around female sexuality. Spaces are limited! If you're ready to be part of this pivotal change, apply today @ sex.tech or reach out for more details. MamaMuse

As kids transcend from that stage to teenage stage, having conversations about sex is one of the most important conversations parents can have with their children. It is an eye opening moment to have the conversation about sex education and to acquire the best possible education to navigate through that stage in life. A lot of sex related topics are all over the place, children have become victims and vulnerable to nudes photos, porn videos and prospectively wired to explore what it is all about. Parents pretend to be naive with this topic, they allegedly claim that their children are not old enough to have the conversation even when they are preparing for university education, when they failed to have this conversation it becomes catastrophic on the other side. Social media has facilitated the rapid growth of this topic it is now rife everywhere, to have proper conversation about sex, parents and schools have greater part to play. It is such important conversation, and when foundation is not properly laid there will be no basis to kick-start the conversation. It is hard to get teenage children to open up about sex, when this conversation was not initiated earlier enough, it is through the education they acquire, they will use to navigate through when they see themselves in the wider society. Parents need right moment and language to initiate this conversation, a stable atmosphere at home will help the conversation flow positively. It can be very damaging for teenagers when they began to learn it elsewhere, and resort to social media and sometime fall victims to social media users, exchanging naked photos with adults, smoothly leading them to overtly sex conversation like, positions, pills and the experience. Choking sex and rough sex are now dominant trend in this topic, your teenage child might made to believe it is best way to have healthy sexual relationship, or made to believe that it is the best way to derive pleasure, it doesn’t matter what you do, the ultimate goal is to derive pleasure and satisfaction. This is the narrative they will carry along them, when you fail to have sex conversation with your teen children, the conversation as parents or parent with your child gets better with time when it is initiated earlier enough.

Last week I was awarded 'HEADLINER' award by NDTV for my contribution in s3xual wellness impact work :) It's such a significant moment for me to step up on stage and being handed over the award by a legacy brand that pioneered independent news broadcasting in India. Some key moments from my interaction with fellow awardees: 1. I see so much curiosity among people when I tell them, I am a sex coach and I help people solve their sexual issues and lead happy, healthy sex lives Takeaway : Sexual wellness is the only space where demand far exceeds the supply and thus sex coaches and sex therapy is in demand 2. I had the female presenter confessing about her lack of sex life and saying, "sex life declines with kids". Takeaway: People want to talk about sex but fear judged and they open up when they see other people talking about sex 3. I was asked tips for a first time sex. I said your first time will not be the best time. In my response, I did not use the word "sex" at all and yet the person who asked this question giggled. Takeaway: Because of the taboo around sex, we have aced the indirect language where we can talk a lot on sex without using the word sex. Tell me in comments: If you meet a sex coach at a party, what will be your first question to her :)

Sexual pleasure and exploration are essential aspects of human sexuality, yet they are often stigmatized and neglected in discussions around sex education. Sexual pleasure is a fundamental right, and exploring one's own body and desires is crucial for sexual agency, confidence, and overall well-being. Sexual exploration is a natural and healthy part of human development, allowing individuals to discover their desires, boundaries, and preferences. It enables people to develop a positive body image, build self-esteem, and cultivate a deeper understanding of their own sexuality. Moreover, prioritizing sexual pleasure recognizes the importance of consent, communication, and mutual enjoyment in sexual encounters. Unfortunately, societal taboos and gendered expectations often restrict open discussions about sexual pleasure, leading to shame, guilt, and ignorance. Women, in particular, have historically been denied agency over their own bodies and sexual experiences. It is essential to challenge these norms and create a culture where individuals can freely explore and express their sexuality without fear of judgment or repercussions. In conclusion, sexual pleasure and exploration are vital components of human sexuality that deserve open discussion and emphasis in sex education. By promoting a culture of consent, communication, and self-discovery, we can empower individuals to embrace their sexuality, foster healthy relationships, and cultivate a more inclusive and pleasurable understanding of sex. ©® #pleasure #sex #sexualpleasure #relationship #sexed #sexualeducation

It promotes safer sex practices and healthier relationships. 💥 Empowerment: Quality sex education fosters self-respect and respect for others. It equips people to make informed decisions and set healthy boundaries. 📍 Impactful Stats: ➡ Reduction in Teen Pregnancy: States with comprehensive sex ed programs have significantly lower teen pregnancy rates. ➡ Decreased STI Rates: Comprehensive programs reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted infections among teens and young adults. ➡ Improved Consent Education: These programs include crucial lessons on consent, helping to prevent sexual assault and promote respectful relationships. 👑 Our Role: As advocates for women’s empowerment and sexual health, it’s crucial we stay informed and active.

Sexual Education! Give your kids sex education. If you're wondering why I didn't select a certain gender, the reason is that there have been instances in which neither gender knew anything about the subject beforehand. When a girl plays with a boy, we frequently hear comments like "I'll send you out of my house if you get pregnant," "I'll disown you," and other such things. It's funny how some kids understand pregnancy but not sex because you didn't explain it to them. We're afraid they'll get spoiled, so we don't emphasize enough on it. You either urge everyone to leave the sitting room or fast-forward through any scenes in the movie that feature sexual content. I'm sorry to use this "just be playing" . We neglect to consider peer groups as a significant and active socialization tool. Peer group: topics that you don't talk about are discussed here, usually or mostly bad ones... Someone who, when I first asked, didn't know what sex was? It's delicious and enjoyable, I was told. Don't blame them, that's what they were told, or heard. See, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Give your kid a call. Don't assume they don't know anything; they might have a plan to explore. Talk about sex as well, if you are comfortable discussing pregnancy to them, lecture them on sex. #amazingfacts #truthmatters #sexeducation
