This incident showed Barnwal very clearly that people’s inability to properly converse about sex and intimacy can break down families. As a single mother in her mid-30s, she wanted to do something about it. And so, she trained to become a sex and neuro-linguistic programming coach. “A little while later, I started an Instagram page to reach out to as many people as I could. The plan was simple—try to break down as many stereotypes as possible, and create awareness about sex among my followers. And it worked. The more I put up engaging content online, the more people sought advice. Some of the questions were very shocking, I won’t deny. But some others, very intriguing,” Barnwal shares.

Recently, Barnwal’s Instagram account was taken down by the app. “I don’t think my content sat very well with their policies and so they took it down. But I knew I couldn’t stop at this, and so, just recently created a new one. I may have lost all my followers, but I am certain I will win them back,” she adds.
