Sex camp and yoni eggs

In this episode I speak with Fran Bushe about her sexual journey. We discuss painful sex/vaginismus, lack of sexual enjoyment/orgasm, an array of methods that Fran has tried and where she is with her journey so far.

About Fran:

Fran Bushe is an award-winning comedian, writer and performer. She has had sold-out runs of her multi-award winning show Ad Libido, and wrote The Diary of My Broken Vagina for Channel 4 Comedy in 2019. Fran has spent years ‘boning up’ on sex. She has spoken with leading researchers, pleasure coaches and interviewed a growing number of people about their sexual experiences. It has also meant flustering many helpful members of staff at The British Library, with endless requests for books on the clitoris. She’s popped crystals in her vagina, attended a vulva massage workshop and visited a sex camp where she had her ‘Yoni’ (…vagina) worshipped. Her candid approach to discussing sex and pleasure has led to her speaking with BBC Woman’s Hour, Cosmopolitan, The Sunday Times and Jameela Jamil’s ‘I Weigh’. In 2018 she won Performer of the Year at the Sexual Freedom Awards (the statuette of which is a large golden winged phallus, which lives on her parents’ mantlepiece).
