Yoni Worship: Ask Suzie

In any Tantric practice, involving partners, it isn’t necessary to have your partner even be aware of what you are practicing. It helps tremendously, of course, but it isn’t necessary. Both of you will benefit from the experiences and the ‘unknowing’ one may actually fall right into a sort of natural Tantric rhythm once a few sessions have happened. Having your partner/lover not interested is no reason not to proceed!… Continue reading

Valentines: On The Importance Of Sensate Focus On Awareness (Video)

I’m lying on the beach at Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawai’i. This beach and the one just to the South of it, Hapuna, vie for the distinction of being the most beautiful beaches in all of the United States (Conde Nast Traveler). Of course it would be difficult not to feel as though you were in Heaven here. The breeze, the sun, the just right ocean, the soft waves and the fact that you are probably on vacation if you’re here, all add up to a wonderful experience. Continue reading

Sex Dreams: The Difference Between Men And Women

How often does, say, George Clooney show up in my dreams, or for that matter in any woman’s dreams? Of course, I’m specifically referring to sexual dreams. Unfortunately we don’t have any research that tells us about good old George and thee but we do have some hints about the content of sexual dreams nevertheless. Continue reading

Partner As Guru: Relationship As An Evolutionary Tool (VIDEO)

I had an agenda. I wanted him to love me unconditionally because I felt that I had loved him that way for many years and he hadn’t reciprocated the way I wanted him to. This is unconditional? Obviously this isn’t the way to heal from whatever it was that caused me to even think I could get what every woman (and man for that matter) fantasizes about and thinks they want – pure devotion. Ah…

Studying Love Instead Of War — What If?

Do you remember the old folk ballad Down By the River Side – The one that has the line “I ain’t gonna study war no more”? What if everyone studied Love instead? What would life be like if we humans had made a turn, somewhere deep in the past, that lead us down a path of love instead of fear and hate? Would we have been much more careful about population explosion, hunger, abuse, control issues and infanticide? Would we have cared for those we did have and cherished and cared for the earth in better ways? Would there be no ‘us and them’ in this scenario? Continue reading

The New Purpose of Sex: Unplug Into the ‘Now’

Ok, let’s keep that intense, new love stuff, the dopamine high. Then, if two people decide that they are very much in love and want to move to the next steps of relationship the ‘cuddle’ affect takes over. And though sex may slow down the bond between the lovers gets tighter. Then a few years go by, there are babies and careers and a mortgage and responsibilities galore. Time seems to have disappeared and stress can seem to take center stage. What does love look like now?… Continue reading

Unplugged Tantra: 3 Easy Steps to Recharging for Two

If you’re putting off sensual and sexual activities because you’re too tired or busy you are undermining your emotional connection with your lover and your self. The neurotransmitter oxytocin is the bonding hormone that is produced during birthing, breastfeeding, nipple stimulation, kissing, orgasm, eye gazing and touching. In fact, researchers are finding more actions to attribute the release of oxytocin to all the time. Whether it is a big expression or a relatively small dose, this is the stuff of emotional bonding, relaxation and lasting love. Five out of the seven things on the list above occur during sex!… Continue reading

Pleasure Fibers & Touch: Pleasuring Me Pleasures You

I love to swim. I love the water running past every inch of my skin, tickling the hair follicles as it passes over my alert and ready nerve endings. I dive into the pool outside my living room French doors and push off repeatedly to the surface from the bottom of the deep end. I experience the thrill it gives me as I push up from the bottom and break the surface. I focus my mind on the sensations the water makes streaming past every hair follicle on my body, over and over again. I am training my mind/body to more fully love the sensations I already know and love… Continue reading

Ritual and Ceremony: Innate Longing for a Revival of Tribal Intimacy

We go to places where we will find our ‘tribe’ because we want to be surrounded by the same values, actions and activities that stimulate us. This is a process of activation of mirror neurons. Mirror neurons help us to assimilate with the others of our family, culture, society and tribe. The same areas of our brain that fire when we see someone else doing an action, fire when we do the action ourselves. This is part of what makes us social human beings… Continue reading
