Stop Faking Orgasms: How to Embody Sensuality and Experience True Pleasure
Charna Cassell on The Sensual Sessions Podcast with Candia Raquel
So many of us have been taught to perform pleasure rather than feel it. But what if the key to deeper intimacy, real connection, and satisfying sex is as simple—and as radical—as learning to embody sensuality?
Charna Cassell, Licensed Psychotherapist, Somatic Sex & Relationship Coach, and host of Laid Open Podcast, recently joined Candia Raquel on The Sensual Sessions for a conversation that will change the way you relate to your body, your pleasure, and your truth. In the episode titled “Embody Sensuality to Stop Faking Orgasms”, Charna shares accessible, grounded wisdom for stepping out of performative intimacy and into genuine connection—with yourself and with others.
What does it mean to embody sensuality?
To embody sensuality means coming home to your body. It’s about slowing down, feeling what’s real, and allowing your full range of sensation to guide your experience—not just in sexual moments, but in every part of life. When we are connected to our senses, we stop outsourcing our pleasure. We stop faking. We stop rushing. And we start feeling.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why so many people fake orgasms—and how to stop
- The connection between safety, consent, and authentic arousal
- Simple ways to reconnect with your body through breath, movement, and awareness
- How to create more honest, satisfying, and empowered intimate experiences
Charna brings decades of experience in psychotherapy, somatic education, and trauma healing into this conversation, offering a compassionate and practical approach to transformation.
If you’re ready to stop pretending and start experiencing real pleasure, this episode is a must-listen.
