I doubled down on my own sexual awakening and put away my vibrator. When I learned more about how to spend time with my whole body and awaken my G spot and my cervix, my body's communication with me got a whole lot more... articulate. I was listening better so I could hear more from her. What did she tell me? There had been many times that I had settled for sex she didn't really want. I didn't even know that. My husband has always been an engaged, sensitive, skillful lover. He hadn't violated my consent. I had. My own complicity... I had so many feelings about my body’s “no” when I started to hear it! As I had been connecting more deeply to myself, my body, my desire, my turn on, Kurt was doing the same. My body's saying "no" was HIGHLY inconvenient. What I've learned, though, by really listening to what she does want and doesn't want, and speaking out loud on her behalf is that so much more is available for me than I knew. By asking for what my body really wants, even when it's scary or even when I'm sad that I don't want what is on offer already, I have gotten so much more than I ever thought I could have, erotically, emotionally, and in terms of support. I want you to know that if you can relate to any of these things, I get it!
All of those make sense. I've heard them all from other amazing, sex positive women. But here's what I want you to know: no matter how good or how mediocre the sex is right now in your relationship, you can own your own turn on. You can change the relationship with your body and learn to become your own best lover. And as you do, you will create new avenues for intimacy with your partner (current or future). You may be scared, as I was, that the more turn-on you experience, the greater the gap between you and your beloved and their ability to go there with you. But it is not my experience, either in my marriage or in my practice, that a partner can't keep up with a woman who's truly committed to her erotic awakening and to her relationship. There is nothing that pleases a partner more than becoming an ever better lover to an ever more awakening, awakened erotic priestess. So if your partner's approach to sex has not been doing it for you, you are absolutely not alone. In fact, you're probably in the majority. But we don't have to start with THEM to transform your experience of the erotic realm and eventually your interpersonal erotic adventures together. We start with you and your relationship to your own turn-on. The tools that I use work for me, and they work for the women I teach them to. If you're thinking that feeling sexier, more turned on, more orgasmic, more erotic, is a shallow pursuit, it's because you haven't done it. Our bodies are portals to the Divine. That deep truth has been buried by individuals and organizations who feared the power the female body possesses and accesses. But there's nothing for anyone to fear about a turned-on woman. The more pleasure and passion a woman has, the more generosity and compassion she shows. A woman fueled by pleasure is the safest person in the world for herself and others. And any woman who wants to can learn to run on pleasure. This is why I've created a new program that's not for couples: it's just for women. Long-married, single, in a new relationship... No matter. Everything changes, anyway. But I want YEARS with you. Years to walk this path of conscious embodiment, wild love, and pleasure-fueled activism in this hungry world.

And as always, please drop me a line if you have any questions or want to let me know how this resonated with you. Love love, P.S. In a few days, I'll share how it is possible to get to the bottom of a sticky sexual obstacle, whether there's sexual trauma, sexual avoidance, a porn habit, or any other block to erotic connection happening inside you, or in your relationship. So much more as possible. Tell you all about it in my next message! And if you've been wanting a mentor to help you actualize your potential in love, sex, and communication, I am at your service inside my new mentorship program (meaning, pay once, and I'm your mentor for the foreseeable future!), RECEIVE.

Hi Reader, I know this sounds counterintuitive but the patterns that make your relationship “pretty good" actually prevent your GREAT relationship. If you don't believe me, here's one example: Let's look at how you handle your fear of discomfort and authenticity. In bad relationships, people are often incapable of handling their own discomfort. They avoid difficult conversations or react without thinking about how their words and actions will land with their partner. They try to protect...
I said, “If you don't want to come toward me sexually, if you don't want to go deeper, I understand, and it's okay... "But I'm ready for more, and I know you haven't been willing to opening up our marriage in the past, but I'm not asking this time. I'm telling you. "I feel like I'm suffocating, and I'm going to unilaterally pursue other sexual connections. "I don't not want to be married, I just don't want to be celibate.” It wasn't just the words I was saying that Kurt heard. It was the...
This letter is part of my 24th wedding anniversary celebration: a series of intimate glimpses that reveal what is possible for you in love, sex, and personal growth with stories from my/our journey. I'm emailing a bit more than usual this month, so if you want to pause my emails until August, just click here. OkReader, I'm jumping right in: My body is wrong. I’m six years old. It’s a 90 degree day at the Montezuma County public pool. I see my cousin Vicki walking toward me and I wonder why...
