Keeping with the mission of her podcast – to be vulnerable – Cheryl Burke took to Instagram to reveal what she couldn’t bring herself to initially speak about on her previous podcast episode with sex therapist and educator Jaiya.
During the short Instagram video, Burke explained during the podcast interview she was “biting her tongue” as Jaiya spoke about sexual intercourse and orgasms. As Jaiya spoke, Burke said, in her head, she talked herself out of owning up to the fact she has never experienced an orgasm during intercourse. The star continued by saying her intimate experience is not due to any fault of any partner she has been with, but only herself. “I think the reason I didn’t want to say it [at the time] was because I didn’t want to hurt anyone. But that has nothing to do with the person, it has everything to do with me and my shame and my child abuse and my vulnerability,” Burke continued.
And since the “Dancing With the Stars” professional began her podcast in May to be more open with her audience, many fans appreciated the dancer’s vulnerability about her intimate life — telling Burke in the comment section that she was not alone in her confession.
