UNCUT – A feminist who needs no foreplay - Yonit

Yonit has plenty of sex, all of it good – why does this feel like such an unusual story? She grew up in Israel and got a late but hot start on her sexual journey. She met her husband young, but the adventure didn’t stop there. On the flip side of all her sexual joy, however, she has struggled with anxiety, depression, and severe post-partum depression. She also opens up about the impact of perimenopause.   Yonit is a 48-year-old cisgender female. She describes herself as a white Israeli, straight, married, monogamous, “loosely Jewish,” and perimenopausal. She describes her body shape and size as “average.”   Bookmark moments:  (2:24) Yonit shares her first memory of sexual awareness; she discovered a sensation while climbing a pole as a 9 or 10-yr-old child in PE. The pole trick translates into an unknowing masturbation for comfort with her arm. (6:20) Her family was straightforward and progressive about sex, though they tied sex to love. Bodies were normal and not shamed or hidden. She still holds back compared to her peers, though. (15:30) Yonit names her sadness around parental transitions, which she calls “pre-parting depression.” (17:10) Yonit talks about her first kiss, and about school age gender differences. This leads to talking about her parents, and she opens up about her birth mother’s mental illness and suicide. (23:43) Leah and Yonit discuss post-partum depression. Yonit winds up in crisis during the first year after the birth of her first child, but is able to receive and benefit from help. (31:21) Yonit enjoyed sex during and after pregnancy. She now offers mental health support to other moms, and she talks about how new moms often feel over-touched and don’t want to jump right back in. She also mentions anti-depressants and sex. (38:00) She talks about another early relationship, reminiscing about her stint in the Israeli military and the youth culture at the time and sharing stories about her early sexcapades. (55:17) Yonit reflects on her good luck with having largely positive experiences through these early sexual explorations, despite one minor incident. (1:00:00) Yonit tells us how she met her husband, at the age 21, via a showering neighbor and well-timed package delivery. New York City and magic (and sex) ensue. (1:06:00) She talks about her experiences with anxiety and depression, and how they have impacted her journey sexually, both in terms of fluctuating levels of desire and varying sensitivities around erogenous zones. (1:13:31) Perimenopause has notably changed how Yonit feels in her body and what she wants sexually, particularly with regard to touch. (1:26:04) She brings us up to date on where she and her husband are sexually now, and how her relationship with beauty is changing as she ages.   Patreon All Good Girls Talk About Sex audio extras are FREE!  They can be accessed at www.patreon.com/goodgirlstalkaboutsex.  I've done this because not everyone has the means to pay for access, and I know this additional material can be deeply important for some listeners.
