Who doesn’t want to have better, healthier, more intimate sex? Today’s guest on the Know Your Physio Podcast is Chloe Macintosh, Founder and CEO of Kama; a sexual wellness practice focused on the science-based idea that pleasure is, in fact, health. Chloe’s research has focused on intimacy and sexuality for the past 10 years, and she has traveled the world to meet with experts and practitioners across a wide range of disciplines. By connecting mind, body, and heart, Kama wants to help people of all ages, genders, and sexualities make sexual satisfaction a part of our everyday lives. Their holistic approach to transforming how we perceive pleasure and its role in our well-being combines scientific research with psychosexual therapy, somatic awareness, and ancient wisdom. Join us as we talk all things sex; from having better orgasms when you masturbate to stoking passion in long-term relationships and everything in between. Chloe shares her take on social media, dating apps, and porn, and we discuss the importance of being driven by desire, viewing sexuality as a practice, and reconnecting with your body.
