Our Yonis Have Genius, Power and Magic in Them
(I’m sure Goethe would appreciate the twist) Imagine if all women lived from and in devotion to our vaginas. If when we woke in the morning, the first thing we did was pet our furry girls. And when we walked into the kitchen, we’d ask our lady lips what they wanted for breakfast. Imagine how […]
All the Voices Inside My Vagina
It took me ten years to come to terms within myself, let alone share with anyone else, that I had been raped by six of my classmates, some of them my “friends,” the summer before senior year of high school. It took almost another twenty years to start piecing together memories of being sexually molested […]
Sexual Practice is Meditation for our Hormones
Just as we meditate to still the mind, awakening the pleasure body also requires practice. Many women feel intimidated when I ask them about self pleasure. Some confess to not knowing how to give themselves an orgasm-so they don’t see the point of a pleasure practice. Others don’t see the value of feeling their sexual […]

Expansion within my masculine being feels like an upward and outward opening, like […]
To Squirt or Not to Squirt? That is Not the Question!

Whereas Webster defines pleasure as: satisfaction derived from what is to one’s liking; worldly or frivolous enjoyment; amusement; diversion; sensual gratification-I define pleasure as an expansion of consciousness, experienced through the body and the senses. I […]
Pleasure as a New Spiritual Path
“I want to make Tantra yoga as main stream as Hatha yoga, and orgasms as much a part of women’s self care as brushing our teeth,” I bravely declared ten years ago in a community circle, where we were each asked to share our personal mission. The tent went silent, followed by laughter. I […]
Ecstatic Embarrassment Syndrome
I’m currently teaching a women’s sexuality circle, and the morning after the second one, I had both the thought of “Why haven’t I/we been doing this all along?” and “I fully understand why I haven’t led these kinds of circles for years.” Because opening to sexual energy requires nothing less than our complete surrender, […]
