This week’s Live Well Be Well Moment is with Silva Neves, an accredited psychosexual and relationship therapist. Silva explains why most fantasies, kinks and fetishes are far more normal than we assume, and how it’s actually shame, not the kink itself, that quietly shuts down honest sexual communication in long-term relationships.
