About this listen
If you could reflect on one thing, it’s this:
What part of your body or sexuality were you taught to ignore—and what would it mean to reclaim it?
This letter is for anyone raised to believe that sex is shameful, silence is safety, and pleasure is something to fear.
Through unapologetic truth-telling and cultural honesty, the writer challenges the long-standing taboos around sex in Filipino households—especially those shaped by Catholic doctrine and generational silence. They reflect on how shame has kept us unprepared: for intimacy, for consent, for naming harm, and for experiencing connection that is safe, mutual, and fulfilling.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, silenced by your culture, or unsure of your right to feel pleasure—this one’s for you.
