Feeling Full and At Ease

Feeling Full and At Ease

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...

Penetration: Pain or Pleasure?

Penetration: Pain or Pleasure?

It is so funny that I never thought while exploring my body as a young teen, that putting my fingers in my vagina or using a tampon was self-penetration. Well, of course it was. I eventually explored self- penetration with makeshift dildos such as empty roll-on...

I Got a Lot Wrong Before I Got it Right

“I enjoy penetration, therefore I am attracted to men.” It took me a long time to realize I could consider any response to this statement other than “yes.” I was raised to believe all humans, myself included, were inherently heterosexual. Male-female attraction was...

Pleasure is Radical

I’ve been struggling with the blog topic of pleasure because each time I start to write about the yumminess of it, what swings in bombastically and unannounced are the injustices and wrongs of our time, the many tasks I need to attend to, and all the things my monkey...

Born Angry

The earliest emotion I can remember having is anger. Born in the early 1960’s, I had parents that were born in the 1930’s, an age where men and women’s roles were distinctly defined and those roles were upheld in legislation and in religious communities.  Then came...
