Practice for Exploration and Discovery

“When and if masturbation starts to feel like a chore, and it does sometimes, I do something to shake it up like switch fantasies or take to the freeway instead of the bed.”

“The possibility that my body won’t respond the way I want it to and in turn leaving me with two options. Option one, listening to the inner critic, or option two, offering myself some very slow, kind, loving, self compassion and acceptance.”
by Lakota Fradette

The Gift of “Me Time”

“A great deal can be learned by both partners who have this level of patience with each other and themselves, and who are willing to share in the practice“

by Naomi Ruth

by Laura Bogush

I’m Not Motivated by Feelings of Sexual Desire
