Beyond Bitchy: Mastering the Art of Boundaries: #129

#129 - What is "Leaky Sexual Energy"?

Apr 7, 2021

If you’ve ever encountered someone whose sexual energy seems like it’s just spilling out all around them, you already have an idea of what “leaky sexual energy” is. While it can be hard to pinpoint or define (and isn’t based simply on what clothes someone is wearing), you’ll generally be able to sense it when someone has leaky sexual energy. Tune in to learn more!

Biggest Takeaways From Episode #129:

Boundaries have two functions: protecting yourself (and/or other people), and defining yourself physically, sexually, intellectually, and emotionally. In other words, the way a person presents themselves physically is an example of their boundaries.
If a person has leaky sexual energy, they aren’t managing or "containing" their sexual energy in a healthy way.
Keep in mind that your perception of someone else’s sexual energy is exactly that: your perception. As with any other thought or perception, I invite you to be curious about it.
