I would love to find another PlayParty and go to a professional BDSM party where everything is considered.

I also want to connect with more couples and people who host their own parties so I can develop a community around me. Honestly I do feel a bit snobby about the scene in Edinburgh though. So I feel the excitement of hosting my own orgies…Read more

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 16:21:24 -0500

Yes, I had judged friends in the past for doing sex work and stripping. I know it was my own jealously mixed up with the stigma of shaming women who are sexually expressive and owning their sexual choices.

At school I was bullied and the girls would often shout lesbian!!! I imagine now, being called a lesbian in school is probably unheard of in…Read more

I release the idea the idea the consensual sex workers are insecure, less than and uneducated. I do however feel sex workers do need to be protected and supported in their work, emotionally, physically and politically. I do hope that over time sex work in all its forms are celebrated, respected and revered. Like it used to be in India, thousands…Read more

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 16:11:53 -0500

I loved what Betty said that “we are sex workers who educate women on how to orgasm” I love that because it is sex work. And it’s ethical and empowering simultaneously. This totally shifts the slut stigma and shame around sex work because it is essentially saying as Betty said ” We are feminist sex advocates” Its so spot on and I believe that B…Read more

It is common for people to think people who are into BDSM/Kink are perverse and dysfunctional. That there is no consent and a Dom can do what they want to a Sub, when in fact all play is spoken about beforehand and all those involved are consenting adults and that at any time you can choose to change your mind and use your safe word. In most…Read more

Yes I’m aware of the world of BDSM and the kink community. I had my first Playparty in Goa in 2018. It was revolutionary. I was so shy and with a lover how brought me into the world so respectfully and smoothly. It was a bunch of dancers and guests from a dance festival we were all attending so lots of stunning people.

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 21:55:56 -0500

I love the idea of starting an orgasmic sisterhood, where women come together and talk about their sexual experiences in a shame free space, where women can talk freely, ask questions and express their desires and be celebrated by their sisterhood.

Emma Snellgrove replied to the topic Slut Stigma and Repression in the forum Module 12: Sexual Expression

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 21:54:47 -0500

If women don’t question it, it remains the slut stigma remains to condemn a woman of embracing, exploring and celebrating her sexual expression.

If a women has lots of sex, she may not necessarily share this with other women for fear they will shame her, men are the same, they don’t want to know a woman has sexual experience.

My first experience of having an orgasm in a group was at erotic recess last year!

I really loved it when she talked about the power of self soothing and how when you take 15 mins break from a heated or triggering argument or experience and self sooth, you can literally grow new fibres that connect to the amygdala in the brain which supports the bodies ability to heal, calm down and basically have quicker access to the PNS response.

One big social myth continually played out by our culture, politics, religion and education systems, is that we evolved to be monogamous and that it comes naturally to us.

I learned plenty and was reaffirmed plenty too. Communication is key, have a list of what you want your lover to understand about you. Have your No’s and Yes’s in order.

My desired sex skill is for my partner to maintain his erection for a looong time. Which he struggles with.

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 13:45:02 -0500

I used a vibrator on my clit when I gave my partner a blowjob, I came and he came it was hot. I also appreciated the emphasise on suction fucking. And that both partners need to be actively using their PC muscle during sex and developing the skill on your own so sex can be even more stimulating.
