Lesbian

While mainstream media often gives lesbian relationships unhappy endings, this film shows us a lesbian happy ending. Again and again and again. Most sex in movies and shows is represented in a way that only really works for straight couples. And when they do show a lesbian couple? One of them is miserable, or worse: dies. So, it’s a big deal and super important to see women connecting with each other in a way that’s genuinely joyful, full of laughter, and just plain fun. Bad Witch totally nails this. Pun intended. You see different body types and styles (hello, body hair!) and, importantly, different ways to orgasm. One of the women could come over and over just from clitoral action, while the other wanted penetration to get there. Both are totally normal! It’s a great reminder that everyone’s body is different, and what feels amazing varies from person to person. It really shows how important it is to get to know your own body and your partner’s, and to take your time doing so! The way they took turns leading and guiding the fun showed how much they enjoyed really playing together, really collaborating. And seriously, the amount of laughing they did – almost as much as they, well, came – tells you this was all about fun and connection, not just hitting some end goal. It’s a beautiful example of why it’s called “playing.”

Confidence Boost

Bad Witch shows us that when you feel good in your own skin, you can have really great sex. This film proves that the real “magic” isn’t about fancy tricks, toys, or trying to be someone you’re not. It’s about connecting with yourself and then connecting with the other person. When you stop worrying about “performing” or doing things “right” and just focus on exploring and discovering with someone new (and their new-to-you body!), the pressure is off and the chemistry is on! It’s like going on a fun adventure to see what feels good together. For anyone who tends to get stuck “in your head” during sex, this movie is a great example of what happens when you let yourself just be there and enjoy the ride. Think of it as permission to relax and explore! Learning more about yourself and your body can seriously boost this confidence. Check out resources like Planned Parenthood to demystify the relationship between sexual health and pleasure, and explore workshops that invite you explore your sensuality using all 6 senses from the safety of your own home. And confidence will always take you farther than any magic trick ever could.

Communication

Forget awkward, clinical talks. Bad Witch shows how checking in with each other can be seriously hot. Those little moments, like “do you want me to?”, are perfect examples of how to sprinkle consent into the action so it feels natural and even makes things sexier. It’s not an interruption; it’s part of the flow. This level of communication is like the most expensive lube you can order off Goop: it makes everything smoother and more pleasurable because everyone feels seen, heard, and safe to enjoy themselves. It helps build the excitement during foreplay and keeps things fun as they get more intense. If you want to get even better at making consent sexy, check out resources like The Consent Academy or learn about different ways to express consent (like active vs. passive consent) on channels like Passport 2 Pleasure.
