• Breaking free from gender stereotypes : to build a healthier relationship with sexuality, it is important to emancipate oneself as much as possible from what is expected by the partner and by society, in particular vis-à-vis the myth of the “giver” or the “recipient”. Sexual life is built and shared, you have to be in agreement with the other and not hesitate to communicate about what you expect.
