What if we approached sex with curiosity, mindfulness and openness, guided by how it feels instead of how it should be? In this TEDx talk, Pepa invites you to reconnect with your desires, tune into your sensations, and embrace your personal journey toward more electrifying, pleasurable sex.Discover TEDxSapienzaU, the student-led TEDx event at Sapienza University of Rome, active since 2022.
