Full embodiment, joy and pleasure that she…Read more

I’d gone from being a sexually frustrated monogamous wife to becoming an independent sex adventurer – a sexual anthropologist of sorts.”

I loved this and was delighted because this is also a term I’ve self identified with before I knew that she had as well.

I have always felt such a…Read more

When we don’t know that we have resources, we are compromised as a default position. And even when we do experience pleasure through our clitorises, we…Read more

(The vagina is something else, the canal leading to the uterus.) It is an analogue to the penis, but much more sensitive. Your body has the most intricate organ for pleasure in the human organism, containing up to 10,000 nerve endings. These nerve endings…Read more

I’ve done this particular exercise before. Ditto to what other students have said about Carlin’s voice and leads. I have thought, but never would have mentioned these feelings. I’m looking forward to being able to devote time…Read more

I finally have talked with my partner and I’m going to get some time in the house alone some mornings that will be my time for me. I’m looking forward to getting some sort of a regular cadence going.
