Episode 33: Debra Pascali-Bonaro on Pleasure in Birth and Sex After Baby

Episode Summary

Who knew orgasm was such a divisive word in birth professional spaces? Debra Pascali-Bonaro joins us to talk about her work bringing pleasure back into the birthing and postpartum conversation. Debra has been at this long enough to know which doors to open and which to leave for the listener.

She walks us through her newest book, The Ultimate Guide to Sex After Baby, why pleasure is a clinical and personal subject for postpartum families, and what childbirth educators and doulas can say without overstepping. The conversation is grounded, generous, and useful in actual practice.

Especially useful for childbirth educators wanting to handle this material with more confidence, and for postpartum doulas fielding the questions clients are quietly carrying.
