EC Gynaecology

Our allopathic system rose to prominence by competing with other medical/health systems. Consequently, it was steeped in power and control. In our specialty of Gynecology, education around sexuality and female reproduction is deeply based in a fear-based learning. Sexuality, however, is as natural and essential to the human as food and water. There are many health benefits to be gained from sexual pleasure and a healthy view of sexuality. Broadly, eroticism is a quality that causes sexual feelings or pleasure, as well as a philosophical contemplation concerning sexual desire, sensuality, and love. In our daily life, ensuring self-care and pleasure balances the stressors of life; this ensures energetic recharging. We can learn from a sex positive culture how to teach sexuality. Furthermore, modeling the same sexuality consent conversation in the exam room may lead to a greater likelihood of healing and not retriggering our patients. Furthermore, better sexual education may lower the incidence of sexual abuse and ensure our intimate healing encounters are indeed healing for our patients.
