NO FAP, Self Pleasure, S*x toys & Tantra - with Pallavi Barnwal, Intimacy coach

About this episode

A conversation with intimacy coach Pallavi Barnwal about NoFap, self-pleasure, and the complexities of intimacy and desire.

I had a beautiful, honest conversation with intimacy coach Pallavi Barnwal. We spoke about NoFap practices, self-pleasuring and what it really means, for both men and women. We explored how men and women experience intimacy differently, how porn has shaped desire and expectations, and where it starts impacting real connection. We also touched upon Tantra, female pleasure, expectation mismatches in relationships, why many women feel disconnected from their bodies, and how orgasms are often misunderstood or pressured. Yes, we even spoke about sex toys, their role, relevance, and where mindful use can turn into dependency. No extremes. No sides taken. Just a balanced, curious, and compassionate conversation about intimacy, desire, and awareness.
