Raeann has been having a lot of conversations with friends lately about the shift in her mentality around casual sex, so we thought we’d bring in Rosie to help us unpack and navigate this topic in case any of you are going through similar experiences. We talk about what Raeann learned in her “hoe phase” enjoying casual sex and why she has no regrets. We talk about the emotional and physical implications of casual sex that caused Raeann to rethink her relationship with it, and enter her “celibate era.” Join us as we dive into what her siren summer looks like dating without having sex right away, and what having casual sex taught her about herself. This episode is a no judgment zone as, and we hope this conversation highlights your right to reclaim your sexual freedom and individual relationship to sex in your current phase of life, but to always make sure it feels good for you.   I feel like I've come into that phase of my life where, as I've been dating recently, I have been waiting much, much longer or not doing it at all. I do feel like I have that power. I'm choosing who gets to have access to this part of me. - Raeann Langas   What We Talk About: One of the most embarrassing stories of Kristina’s life Raeann’s embarrassing story & big life update Raeann’s mindset shift around casual sex Hookups on vacation versus at home Women’s increased likelihood of getting STDs Reclaiming our sexual freedom Is casual sex actually good sex? The energetic exchange in sex Embracing feminine power Why Raeann decided to make the shift to changing her sex life What Raenn’s celibate era looks like   I've always thought, if you want to have sex with me, do you know how fucking lucky you have to be? And I feel like that is the attitude and value that maybe we need to all have. - Kristina Zias   As women we’re told if you sleep with x amount of people, you're a slut. It feels like a necessary thing to shake that off and find your freedom. I think you needed to have that experience of going down that path to realize, actually...Maybe I don't want all of that freedom, I just wanted to know that I could have it should I choose. - Rosie Richardson   New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.   Resources: Teacher Amazon Wishlists: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16YSkVESnmL80d02zoAVMKbsiDZO5zsaJJXExDmygB-8/edit?usp=sharing Instagram: Alexandra Madison Instagram: Bobbi Althoff Chicken Shop Date: youtube.com/c/ameliadimoldenberg  Follow us on Instagram: @confidentcollective  Follow the Hosts/Founders: @kristinazias & @raeannlangas Learn more: https://www.theconfidentcollective.com/ Stay in the know with our newsletter!    Thanks to our sponsors!
