Musings on Pleasure & Eros
Curated Readings and Resources for Cultivating and Honoring Pleasure
I am not so much a writer myself, but find that others are writing and saying things that are PROFOUND as it relates to our sexuality! I invite you to peruse some of my findings!
What is Genital De-Armoring?
Through "genital mapping" and "pelvis release work", Sexological Bodyworkers work with you to identify where in our genitals and pelvis that we hold unconscious contraction and emotions. By doing this slow exploration, we begin to identify where the trauma is and we can learn to feel how to unleash it.

The Epidemic of the Angry Vagina
When tuning into the wisdom and felt sense of their vaginas, many women are experiencing and expressing feelings of "rage", being "broken", "sadness", being "pissed off", "disconnected", and even "nothing". Read article to learn more.

Coming to the Revolution
I pulled some key elements from a really thought-provoking article about sexuality, specifically masturbation (self-pleasuring) and how it relates to religion, consumerism, power, control, guilt, struggle, enlightenment, liberation, and even a revolution! Take a look...and I also highly encourage reading the entire original article!

Pleasure as a Pathway to Alchemy
Just a taste: "When I release my erotic self from society’s constrained container of how I am “suppose to be,” my life flows with color and a kind of energy that heightens, sensitizes and strengthens all of my experiences. When I am able to find this place within myself and release all of the myths around my erotic desirability — I am able to show up in the body that I am in — with incredible hotness that I feel first and then that I share with my partner. Erotic life force energy (sexiness) flows from the inside out."

The Importance and Function of our Erotic Embodiment
The best line: "(I believe that) what happens in our sexual embodiment and orgasm is nothing less than our genius; the specific intelligence, purpose and passion – our way of knowing the world – that is unique to each of us yet intrinsic to all humanity. The extent to which we prioritize and care for our eroticism, sexual vitality and embodied health (and the depths to which we see all of it as sacred) is the extent to which we allow our genius to be fully present in the world."
