Unlock a More Fulfilling Sex Life: 6 Essential Insights for Women

If you’ve been tuning into our recent Twitter Spaces, you’ve noticed a powerful shift—our focus is laser-sharp on empowering women to own their sexual joy! The classroom is still open, and this time, we’re diving deep into self-discovery before the bedroom magic begins.

Our latest session featured two incredible experts: Elizabeth Adewale, a Certified Holistic Sex Educator (CHSE), and Dr. Zeenaht Abdullahi, an Obstetrician & Gynaecologist. Guiding the conversation with finesse was Hannatu Asheolge, Journalist and Co-Convener of the Sarah Project, our dynamic moderator.

Ready to unlock the next level of your sexual satisfaction? Here are six must-know insights to transform your experience!

Master Your Body: The Ultimate Pleasure Map
Your body is your playground, and knowing it inside out is the first step to ecstasy. Dr. Zeenaht and Elizabeth spotlight the vagina and vulva—two distinct stars in your sexual universe. The vulva, with its outer charm (including the clitoris, in all its diverse shapes and sizes), and the vagina, your inner powerhouse, deserve your attention.

Hygiene tip? Gently wash the vulva, but leave the vagina to its self-cleaning genius. Dr. Zeenaht shares, “Know what’s normal to spot issues early. A healthy vagina might have a mild, tangy scent— influenced by diet, periods, or sexual activity—but no strong odor is a good sign.”

Beyond Penetration: Unlock a World of Pleasure
Penetration gets all the hype, but it’s not the whole story! Our experts urge women to explore beyond it. Clitoral stimulation, oral sex, and extended foreplay are your tickets to bliss. Lubricants and sex toys? Game-changers! Elizabeth notes, “Most women don’t climax from penetration alone—clitoral play is key. And yes, lubricants are for everyone, not just ‘dry’ moments—research backs their orgasm-boosting power!”
Feeling adventurous? Self-pleasure (masturbation) is a safe space to discover what lights your fire—no pressure, just exploration.

Spot the Signs: Protect Your Sexual Health
Ignoring your body’s whispers can lead to trouble. Yeast infections, bacterial overgrowth, and STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, and chlamydia can sneak up with itching, pain, or odd smells. Dr. Zeenaht warns, “These can climb to affect your cervix, fallopian tubes, or uterus, risking infertility or pregnancy complications.”
Stay vigilant, especially after unprotected sex. Health is your wealth—tune in to those signals!

Open the Dialogue: Safe Sex Starts with You
Prevention beats cure every time. Normalize chatting with partners—casual or committed—about screenings, condoms, and contraceptives. Dr. Zeenaht and Elizabeth cheer, “Own your health! Ask when they last tested, and don’t shy away from condoms or birth control.”
Elizabeth adds, “Safe sex protects your mind and heart too. Demand consent, set your pace, and never feel guilty for prioritizing you.”

Embrace Your Beauty: Love the Skin You’re In
Feeling sexy starts with self-love. Unrealistic beauty standards can dim your confidence, but Dr. Zeenaht reminds us, “No one should dictate beauty. Own your body—tweak what you want, but stay true to you.” Trends fade; your uniqueness endures. Celebrate yourself, and others will follow suit!

Take Your Time: Healing and Redefining Intimacy
Struggling to feel sexually free? That’s okay—mental blocks or past experiences might be at play. Dr. Zeenaht and Elizabeth encourage patience. “Redefine intimacy, safety, and consent at your speed,” Elizabeth advises.

“Surround yourself with respectful people who honor your journey.”
Healing is a process—give yourself grace to relearn, unlearn, and rediscover what feels right.
