About
The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Why do so many people find masturbation emotionally, mentally, and physically safer than partnered sex? From avoiding rejection and vulnerability to maintaining control over pleasure and boundaries, masturbation can feel like safer than partnered sex in a world where connection is often complicated. But what happens when safety becomes isolation? And how can we build trust, communication, and confidence in partnered experiences without losing our sense of self?   In this episode we will discuss: • Why masturbation can feel more emotionally predictable and controllable than sex with a partner • How past experiences, anxiety, shame, or trauma can shape feelings of safety around intimacy • The role of communication, consent, and vulnerability in creating secure sexual connection • Ways to bridge masturbation and partnered intimacy without judgment or pressure   Join Milica Jelenic, Sex & Intimacy Coach and Holistic Health Practitioner on this episode of The Pleasure Zone where we will uncover "Why Masturbation Feels Safer Than Sex".

What is pleasure? Have you ever noticed that what is pleasing to one body is not necessarily pleasing to all bodies? What if our bodies like to be pleasing and to gift pleasure to others and to receive pleasure? In this show we will explore the world of pleasure. If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease? We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence. What would the world be like if we stopped judging ourselves, our bodies and others? How much more fun, joy and pleasure is possible on this planet if we choose to be explorers? Whose ready for an adventure??? Milica Jelenic is an advocate for pleasure. In her private practice she invites clients to create life and lifestyle that offers more pleasure and vitality.
