Episode Description:

In this video, I’m addressing a sensitive but important topic: the natural physiological response of orgasm during sexual abuse. Many survivors feel deep shame around this, but it's crucial to understand that it's a normal bodily reaction, not an indication of desire or consent.

I share why it's important to release the guilt and shame associated with this response, and how doing so can help you move forward in your healing journey.

Episode Notes:

Peggy addresses the natural and normal physiological response of orgasm during sexual stimulation, even in abusive situations.

Survivors of abuse often feel shame about this response due to the stigma, which can lead to isolation.

Experiencing an orgasm during abuse doesn't mean it was wanted or liked; it's simply the body responding as it was designed to.

Shame can interfere with healthy sexual experiences in adulthood, preventing full emotional and physical connection.

It's important to forgive oneself and let go of shame to move forward and experience the sexual pleasure one deserves.
