To Truly Open to Pleasure We Have to Explore the Unknown, Uncomfortable, & Unbelievable

I just finished shooting/directing a DVD on the subject of energetic-sex mastery. So this week, I thought it would be cool to share some insights on the subject.

Firstly, what is energetic sexuality, or energy-sex?

I sometimes call energy-sex hands off, clothes on sex. We can conceptualize energy-sex as that which happens when we find ourselves magnetically attracted to somebody for no apparent conscious reason. Whatever that feeling in the body is - that pull - that “energy”, that’s what we are talking about. It’s as if, for a moment, the entire world disappears and we are engulfed in the desire to deeply connect with another human being.

Sex, and Intimacy, and BS, Oh My

The above link was recently posted on Salon.  It was written by a single 50 year old woman who had a casual sexual arrangement with an old friend.   I wanted to share this article because I could identify with the writer's concerns, but up to a point.  Now, don't mistake my italicized statement as a vehement disagreement with what the article said.  It isn't for me to agree or disagree with another's personal story.  I greatly appreciate her willingness to talk about sex, especially considering where the story was posted and the 'demographics' of some Salon readers (some of these demographics are highlighted in the comments).

More on Orgasmic Birth and Some Critique of a Ph.D.

Here is another link to a Ph.D. sexologist, Danielle Harel, who did her dissertation on sexualizing labor and birth.

I wanted to make her info available, but I want to comment on what I consider to be oversimplifications to the concept of increased arousal and increased stimulation in several of her statements. This is getting into the minutia of sexual technique and any time you move down into the details, I consider them advanced sex concepts. As Betty often says to me, "Goddess is very often in the details."

Scientists Find Pleasure Nerves

It's all about touch: Scientists say they understand more about how the body responds to pleasurable touch. A team, including scientists from the Unilever company, have identified a class of nerve fibres in the skin which specifically send pleasure messages.

And people had to be stroked at a certain speed - 4-5cm per second - to activate the pleasure sensation. They say the study, published in Nature Neuroscience, could help understand how touch sustains human relationships.

There are some mechanisms in place that are associated with behaviour and reward which are there to ensure relationships continue.

How Can I Connect to Pleasure?

I started masturbating in my early teens, but I wasn't having orgasms (or at least I didn't think I was). In my mind, I never orgasmed until a few years ago (I'm 21), and this was with a guy who I had been fooling around with for a while. Soon, the orgasms became regular (only during oral though.) Now I am with someone new. He's very affectionate, he loves to please me, and is constantly looking for new ways to give me pleasure. We've been together for a year. I have an orgasm every time he goes down on me (which is happily quite often), and I've been able to orgasm few times from manual stimulation. My problem is that sometimes the lead-up to the orgasms are not that great. During foreplay, I find myself constantly becoming distracted with external thoughts.
