And a body that can tell the truth can stop performing. So many of us were trained to survive by going numb: to intellectualize, to overfunction, to be “strong,” to be palatable, to be good. Numbness is a strategy. What if you didn’t need that strategy ALL the time. Where in your body do you notice yourself going numb—or holding your breath—in daily life? When you reclaim the capacity to feel, you reclaim the capacity to choose. Experiencing ourselves at choice is a big chunk of the work here in the Pleasure Project. Erotic pleasure is purposeful, potent medicine. It sits at the crossroads of power, shame, belonging, and desire. It shows us where we clamp down, where we rush, where we barter our yes for approval. It also shows us that the body doesn’t just remember trauma, it remembers agency. It remembers what it feels like to be met, to be wanted without being used, to be in contact without being consumed. “Feeling” is the body’s way of speaking truth in a language older than logic. Boundaries. Consent. Timing. Truth. The Pleasure Project teaches new possibilities: - Safety without collapse - Aliveness without danger - Intimacy without self abandonment I am curious: what messages about pleasure have shaped your body’s capacity to receive? What might “receiving without apology” look like in your current season of life?

Upgrade and rebranding myself can not wait for the training

“"Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.” -Rumi If you don’t know what you love, how ever will you find pleasure? How much time do you spend doing what you love? What of love have you left behind to survive? To belong? To exist? Pleasure is a fire that needs fuel. What feeds yours??

Hello beautiful ones. I’m seeking creative ideas from the community on accessible ways to engage in a favorite position as you get older: doggie style when the weight of one’s partner is larger, not speaking in terms of the size of the tool, but the stature (in this case, heavier physical weight wise) and they tend to place their (body) weight on the receiver when in action. Any suggestions? Resources? Tool?

Pleasure, Intimacy and Desire During Pregnancy & Postpartum with Sarah Spann Ask A Sex Doula returns tonight, May 18, for our season finale at 6PM EST/7PM EDT! Our featured Sex Doula, Sarah Spann, will lead a lively discussion on pleasure during pregnancy & postpartum Pregnancy and postpartum profoundly reshape the body, identity, and relationship to pleasure yet conversations about pleasure often disappear during this time. This discussion explores how desire shifts, how the nervous system influences arousal and connection, and how pregnant people can navigate physical, emotional, and relational changes without framing pleasure as secondary or optional. We’ll unpack common myths, normalize changing erotic landscapes, and explore practical ways to maintain connection, sensation, and self-trust during seasons of transition. Sarah Spann is a licensed therapist, somatic practitioner, and sex doula specializing in pleasure-centered care across pregnancy and postpartum. Her work bridges mental health, embodiment, and intimacy, supporting pregnant and postpartum people in navigating body changes, desire, identity, and relational dynamics during the perinatal period.
