IN CONVERSATION: Chantelle Otten

HELLOOO EVERYONE! Today on the show, we bring you the serene Chantelle Otten. Chantelle is best known as one of the countries leading psycho-sexologists who works out of Melbourne with a team of more than 20. To put it simply, Chantelle is the authority on sex, not just for Australian women, but for Australians from all walks of life. She has built an incredibly successful career being one of the leading voices shattering taboos around sex: about what the average sex life should look like, about how common painful sex is, and about how sex can be pleasurable, no matter what body you live in. In this chat, we covered everything: from why we are sold myths about sex from the moment we understand what it is, about how isolating sex can be if you feel like you’re doing it wrong, and why it’s important for her to be vocal about her own sex life with her Paralympian star boyfriend, Dylan Alcott. For more from Chantelle, follow her on Instagram at @chantelle_otten_sexologist. If you enjoyed this chat, last year we sat down with Dylan Alcott and heard all about his life in professional sport - head here to listen. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, CeraVe.
