WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Heather C. Montgomery, founder and CEO of social media platform PleazeMe.com, has been interviewed for a student documentary short called "My Pleasure."
"My Pleasure" was created by a group of international film students at New York's School of Visual Arts.
Director Lisa De Neve’s short film, according to a rep, "discusses women’s sexuality and personal pleasure in an inspiring and matter-of-fact presentation meant to empower, enlighten and open up a dialogue within the framework of female health and well-being with no judgment."
Montgomery said she was "excited to be a part of Lisa’s powerful documentary that highlights how sexual trauma and societal double standards affect women’s sexuality."
"It is so important that we share our stories and encourage others to do the same," Montgomery continued. "Women need to know that they are not alone in their pain, and that we have the right to pursue sexual wellness and pleasure."
De Neve explained that “women are learning about sex in a negative way, which has a big influence on the way we perceive it. This documentary is about taking back control by telling the positive stories of three women dealing with sexual difficulties, discussing problems and desires that a lot of women feel like they can’t talk about.”
The documentary also interviews sexual health advocates Swarnima Singh and Bianca Rogoff who encourage women to "claim their space and ignite discussions about daily wellness and dysfunction, confidence, autonomy, expression and body positivity," added the rep.
“Women’s voices are now stronger and louder than ever — we are making it clear that sex is something to be enjoyed and appreciated without stigma or guilt,” added Montgomery. “Knowledge is power, and people are starting to understand that women approach sex differently than men. We are meant to be different, and it’s time we embrace our desires openly. After all, it’s our pleasure we’re talking about!”
