Part 2: Welcome to S*x In The Real World.
I’m Amanda Dawes — co-founder of In Harmony Integrative & Functional Health Centre in Portugal, and a s*xual health & intimacy educator with over 20 years’ experience.
I’ve spent a long time having conversations people often don’t feel able to have anywhere else:
about s*x, relationships, intimacy, communication, desire, p**n, boundaries, STIs/HIV, risk reduction, menopause, changing bodies, long-term relationships, shame, confidence, dysfunction, pleasure, illness, disability, and all the complicated ways s*xuality intersects with real life.
So I decided it was time to create a space for those conversations properly.
This isn’t performative “s*x positivity,” recycled TikTok advice, or content designed purely to shock people for engagement.
It’s a space for honest, intelligent, practical conversations about s*xuality as it actually exists in the real world.
Some conversations will be educational.
Some practical.
Some uncomfortable.
Some funny.
All very real.
If you already follow , this is very much an extension of that work — just with a stronger focus on intimacy, relationships, and s*xual wellbeing.
Please like, follow, and come join the conversation.
You can also subscribe to the YouTube channel for longer conversations, interviews, education, and discussions as the project grows.
And tell me:
What topics do you want covered first?
