Bodysex is My Preference

Bodysex is My Preference

When you devote your career to sexuality, most people want to know: what was your top sexual experience? And they think that you’re going to describe an orgy or threesome or international sex party. I’m not saying that I haven’t enjoyed those experiences; I think...

I Finally Gave Myself Permission

I Finally Gave Myself Permission

Orgasms Aren’t One Way

Once safely out of the driveway, I unbuttoned my pants, grabbed the vibe from the passenger seat where I’d tossed it as I’d gotten into the car, and clicked it on. It felt good over my jeans. Driving masturbation is a delicate balance between your inner eyes settling...

The Work of Arousal: Learning to Stay with Myself

“Arousal” I hear the word and instantly I have parts of me blaring inside. These parts bounce around my mind, confused, looking for clues in the crevices of my brain, ruffling through old memories of things that were logged as turn ons at some point. It’s almost like...

Bodysex Is A Healing Force

As I packed my bags for our upcoming workshop, there was a certain heaviness that I couldn’t shake. Usually, I feel excited to meet the women and get a change in scenery.  However, our new normal is crisis and chaos - unknown actors and undefinable risk.  How would it...

Arousal: What It Is and It Is Not

Ugh, arousal even trying to think about my arousal, makes me groan and roll my eyes.  Who talks about such things. What the hell is arousal anyways? Arousal, desire, sex drive, libido all seem like a complex mumbo gumbo word problem.  Breathe, well in true nerd...

I always think of a word to sum up a Bodysex Workshop. My word for May’s workshop is ease: “to be free from something that pains, disquiets, or burdens.” The day before the workshop, there were some bumps. Carlin’s flight was late which made getting the equipment to...
