Orgasm Is A Practice
I roll around in my soft comfy bed and see the daylight shine through with a big ol grin on my face. I just had two hot and steamy dreams. A teacher I had in school pulled up his pant leg and showed me something that got me totally hot for teacher, to give you a hint...
Did Someone Say Orgasms are a Survival Tool?
Yesterday, I planned today like it was going to run as if it were a well-oiled machine. It did not. By 9.45am I was sitting across town in my car crying. I put a Simon Sinek “8 Minute Call” text out to my bestie. That 16-minute conversation (I talk a lot!) made things...
Returning to the Bodysex Circle
I attended my second Bodysex® retreat with Simone Farshi in Nevada City, California. While it was my fourth Bodysex experience overall, it was the first time I moved between roles, first as a participant and then as a Certified Bodysex Facilitator assisting the...
A Date with Myself
I could hardly wait for my date with myself, a part of my Bodysex Lite homework assignment with Laura Bogush. The assignment was simple yet profound: plan a date with just me and use all my senses to savor the experience. With my husband out of town and a day off...

What I Learned About My Resistance
I feel a small tingle in my clitoris and an ember of desire in my body as I drink my coffee this morning. An orgasm would feel lovely right now, a great way to start my day. Instead, I resist. My mind tells me to stick to the task at hand. I’m working on Bodysex.com,...
Resistance is Cyclical
Recently, I’ve been taking a break from hormonal birth control. Soon after I finish nursing school, I will be starting a family. Ideally, I’ve struggled with fertility in the past. I think it was related to birth control. According to the latest research, it can take...
Resistance to Pleasure: Choosing Joy When Life Breaks

Leading My First Bodysex Retreat
With the goal of warmth and groundedness I took my time setting up my living room over a couple days and it came together fabulously. There aren’t neighbors on any side of my house but I covered the windows with altar clothes I’d purchased at the main temple in...
Choosing to Align
Last summer I started using my masturbation practice to process some things only to remember a past me also did this, though not in front of a full length mirror with a pile of toys, oils, and lube next to me. It was in ancient times before the pandemic so I’d...
My Bodysex Experience
Making the trip from Melbourne, Australia to Cleveland in the U.S.A. to attend a Bodysex® Workshop was a huge commitment… the decision to go was easy to make. Travelling to the U.S. during 47’s presidency was the bigger issue for me… but with my travel issues worked...

I Let the Orgasm Come to Me
I’ve always been orgasmic. My parents didn’t get the memo that I should be discouraged from touching my vulva as a child. I remember exploring my genitals as a preschooler. It felt good. When hormones brought me orgasms at puberty, I masturbated multiple times a day....
I Can Trust in Bodysex
“Bodysex is a labor of love”, I remind myself while packing my suitcase - my phone set to a live FAA airport tracker. There’s nothing like having 12 women, including myself, flying in from all over the world during a government shutdown. I felt my jaw tightening and...
My Experience with Orgasm
I’ve been orgasmic since a young age. Before I knew what was happening in my body. Luckily, I had parents who were sex positive and never shamed me for touching myself. Young kids are caught touching themselves, and for young girls, this often is their first...
