4 Steps For Setting A Time Container for Getting sexy

4 Steps For Setting A Time Container for Getting sexy

When I was pre-orgasmic, I explored so many things wanting to experience orgasm for the first time.

I felt more than broken; I felt like I didn't belong to the human population (enneagram 4).

Ohhhhhhh I read books. I went to six therapists. I watched videos. I bought vibrating toys.

It's when I read Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm that I was first introduced to the concept of a time container.

The UTIs I've experienced I've never directly correlated to having sex either consciously or unconsciously.

We Need More Guidance Around Self-Pleasuring and Sex

May I share something with you?

"Wait. Wait. Can you say that again?"

I'm in the kitchen, and my youngest who is eight is next to me saying something about turtles and the beach.

A piece of me is replaying a past conversation with someone else as I pour some tea.

I recognize another piece wants to be in the present and connected to what he's sharing with me.

This is What Fun and Play Have To Do With Sex and Pleasure

I spontaneously went on a road trip to my friend's friend's place The Bearded Lady Pub to have some fun food (think beignets, fried Oreos, Twinkies, churros, cookie dough bites, etc.)

I gave myself permission to follow this whim despite not having any intentions or expectations.

Maybe inspired by Esther Perel's recent 7-day exploration around the art of foreplay...Perel first invites participants to focus on play.

This is How To Return to the Beginning of Sex and Intimacy Within and In Love

That's not what I'm talking about.

7 Steps for Reclaiming Our Pleasure, Connection, and Interdependence

This is How You Remember Who You Are and Explore Tantra As Playful

Sometimes I forget that I went 30-something years without ever experiencing orgasm.

Sometimes I forget I am a certified Tantric Sex Coach.

Sometimes I forget that we're here for the full-spectrum experience of being human.

Are you feeling an auspicious opening toward the light today?

I've been thinking about you.

I woke up at 5:40 am this morning.

No real reason.

And when my logical, rational mind searched for reasons I might have woken up so early, I remembered it's December 21.

Three Ways to Return to Our Priorities in Pandemic Times

In some ways I've adapted.

In other moments I've completely lost my way.

This is How You Take Ownership of Your Sexuality

You may not be having sex or as much sex as you want with your partner during this pandemic.
