A friend's bold proposition for a night of intimacy with me stirred something I wasn't ready to face—until now. A meditation on desire, surrender, and learning to embrace what makes our bodies hum.
I loved how intimate (and fun) this was. Thank you for sharing. It's a beautiful thing when you can see how much more bold you've become over the years.
OOF. Oh Girl. Damn!🤣🤣 As someone who’s been abstinent for some time, this piece said the things I’ve been afraid to verbally articulate. Thank you for your vulnerability and respectfully calling me out🤣🫶🏾
"...creativity and sex not only go hand in hand, but they come from the same source and act for each other. Sex uses creativity in the exploration of the act, and my creative work is supported by my sexual prowess for living. Sex is life."
Yes to free erotic flow in all our living and being. Yes, yes, yes. 💫 ✨️
This is inspiring me to make that first, delicious, oh so risky move with friends/acquaintances I have /that/ vibe with. It’s so scary but it’s so worth it! Thank you for this push, but more importantly, thank you for writing. Keep on!!
I love reading writing like this, which actually makes me think and recall instances where I had gaps like this. It's the first time I've seen someone else put to words that gap in between sexual encounters in exactly the same way I've been feeling it for years at this point. Thanks for making me think about my gaps in relation to desire, it's been... revealing.
Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts! Time be going by before you have a “wait a minute…” moment and the reasons some things haven’t clicked it because of THIS lol. I hope to write about desire in all aspects of our lives as I exercise mine. But it’s something so precious that we put somewhere deep down for too long. Cheers to the reveals 🥂✨
This is a great story, thanks for sharing! I think we struggle as a society to find the balance between the inherent sacredness of sex with the baseness of it. It can mean everything and nothing, or something in between. But how wonderful would it be if we could have open conversations with other human beings, boldly but respectfully, about our desire for them? If we could just be open and honest about wanting to share our body with them for a mutually pleasurable experience? Think of how freeing and healing that would be.
Absolutely love this 🥹 I was so excited to read this piece and it delivered. I felt you on a spiritual level when you stated that sex and creativity basically go hand-in-hand, it’s also a line that I’ve seen and heard of multiple times. I’ve come to see it as truth.
My absolute favorite line is, "I love who I become as a lover... she doesn't get to come out... I surprise myself." When I tell you that nothing is more true if and when we allow ourselves to be fully liberated in our erotic play, we meet the highest version of ourselves in those moments, imagine being that empowered, powerful, and at ease in our everyday lives. thank you for sharing this amazing piece with us.
