The artist Mimi Zhu explores what it means to heal from sexual trauma in their new book, Be Not Afraid of Love, the October pick for Lemonada’s book club with Penguin Random House. On this episode of Good Sex, Mimi takes that same tender approach alongside the love of their life, Sammy, to discuss sex ed, feeling present in the bedroom, and, as always, the importance of lube.

If you’re experiencing abuse or violence, there are resources available from caring providers:
BlackLine, peer support and counseling with an LGBTQ+ Black femme lens: 1-800-604-5841
Trans Lifeline, grassroots call center divested from police: 1-877-565-8860
National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)

Find Mimi at @mimizhuxiyuan on Instagram, and get more info about the Lemonada Book Club and our newsletter at lemonadabookclub.com.

As expected, Good Sex contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.

Good sex is all about good communication. And we believe honest conversations are the best way to get there. That’s why we’ve asked duos of all types to open up to each other - no host! - about pleasure, intimacy and what turns them on. Listen to hear intimate chats, sexual revelations and playful moments between friends, lovers and everyone in between.
