TRANSCRIPT
Evelyn: It's the relationship conversation that nobody is having, but everybody should, . And so in this conversation is where I go into a little bit more and explore sexuality as part of whole person health. Because having these conversations allows us to create a safer container for ourselves and for each other, which is absolutely linked to how we could become healthier as mental health and physical health as well.. Keely: Hello, everyone. Welcome back to queer relationships, queer joy. This is Kelly C Helmick, one of your hosts Melisa: and your other host, Melissa DeSegiurant. Keely: And we are super excited to have a guest today. We get to talk to a sex positive doctor, which like how many do we know of those? Very few. So we are very lucky to have that in our state of Oregon. And. Doing some rad things, but before like Evaline, will you introduce yourself? Evelin: Sure. My name is Evaline Malina Decker, and I am a board-certified family physician. Who's practicing primary care in Salem, Oregon. I'm sex positive, which means that seeing sexuality as a really important healing modality in all of our health. So I see, I see sexuality as not something separate from whole health. It's part of our whole health and integrating that and teaching communication and a lot of the the tenants of what, what we learn in sex positivity is really the basis of most of my work. Keely: Yeah. Oh, that's so great. Evaline, do you ha
