Believe it or not, your girl gang can tell you what no amount of sexual content available on the internet can. Numerous Hollywood and Bollywood movies and TV shows are an explicit testament to this. Your besties can tell you everything from how to have sex to what you must absolutely not do in bed. “Normalising having conversations about sex and pleasure empowers women to explore and navigate their sex lives effectively,” says Niyatii N Shah, intimacy coach, founder and president, Averti Education and Council of Sex Educators for Social Change.  

Komal Bhandekar, a 25-year-old, entertainment news writer based in Nagpur says, “This might sound stupid but it was only after conversations with my friends that I discovered that pleasure goes both ways. I had no idea that women experience an orgasm too. My whole perspective towards sex and pleasure changed after that.” Prior to this, Komal always wondered why women described sex as the most pleasurable act ever. “Now,” she says, “I understand why and I can’t agree more.”
