S5: Ep2 Ruth Ramsay - Sex (over 3 million TEDx views and growing)

My guest this week is Ruth Ramsay and we talk about sex. Ruth is an adult sex educator and coach. She helps people of all genders understand who they are sexually, what they most need and desire, and how to move towards that. Her clients value her ability to create an entirely judgement-free, safe space to talk about their sexual lives.

On this episode Ruth talks about how she works with her clients and why people come to her. She also speaks with great honesty and openness about her own journey to this incredible work and why her sense of purpose is so strong and, when she choose to hide what she did (for good reason as you’ll hear) the impact that had on her.
Ruths goal is to normalise our relationship with sex so we can all have more fun and less fear, to treat sex as a hobby and simply be more open with a subject which is so very natural yet so tied up in strong held beliefs which often don't serve us well.
Ruth is hugely generous with the tips and advice she shares - there is so much in here for anyone interested in learning more about their sexual lives. The show notes are full of links so go check that out below. There is also a discount code for her programmes.

Ruth holds a transformational coaching diploma, which she backs up with vast life experience of her topic. She holds an Erotic Award for campaigning for sexual rights of people with disabilities; was a striptease artist for over a decade; has taught exotic dance extensively; and been a sex journalist, activist, model, kink performer, and more. She considers herself un-shockable.

Ruth offers online workshops on topics such as ‘Understanding Your Erotic Mind’, ‘How To Feel Confident Naked’, ‘Exploring Your Fantasies’ and her super-popular ‘How To Please A Woman In Bed’. She runs her eight week online course, The Passion8 Programme, three times a year and also supports clients 1-2-1.

Her mission is to normalise conversation around sex, removing the shame and stigma, and recognising sexual energy as a healthy force for good.

Here's her amazing TEDx talk - https://youtu.be/I-3CANRKuAM?si=V4JHCZrxjIav3mxg
