It was really healing for me to listen to everyone talking about how sex relates to what they do in the world, how they bring their sexual energy into their creative and professional lives. I would have liked more dialogue about that, actually. I loved when Marisa said her intention was to “work in loving skin,” as if skin was something that you could spend your whole life doing. And why not?
I thought I was going to have resistance to the genital show and tell, but it was so celebratory and glorious. I didn’t feel any shame moving through my body while watching it.
I did have a lot of resistance to the vibrators; I have a story in my head that I don’t like them or rolling them over my pubic mound. I felt strongly that if I ever do a bodysex circle, I would need to overcome resistance to the vibrating wands! I felt there was too much emphasis on the wands, even though I loved the way Betty guided everyone.
