Want to become Ready to Receive? Here's a special invitation...
Hey, I’m curious… Have you ever been intimate with someone (whether a casual or close partner) and had something “surprising” done to you? You were DOWN, you were having fun and then BOOM- something unexpected and unwelcomed! I know I have. I was having sex for the first time with a man and next thing I know there’s a finger in my butt hole! And you know what I did…..I went along with it! I didn’t want it. I didn’t ask for it. I tried to feel some pleasure but it wasn’t there. I think I went into a freeze response about it even though I was still acting our intimacy. Then the next day I was angry! Or perhaps it’s more subtle than that. You feel unsettled after sex. It has moments but it never feels really juicy and satisfying. It doesn’t bring you closer, it leaves you with questions. For me I would often try to impress them with “skills” instead of asking what they really want. Or laying there receiving oral sex that felt like it wasn’t about me- it was something they wanted or solely trying to make me have an orgasm so they could feel like they achieved something. A lot of it boils down to this one thing… One of my teachers, Betty Martin, really hones in on this in The Wheel of Consent: The Art of Giving and Receiving. We don’t think about this but it’s really key- ➡️ WHO IS IT FOR? ⬅️ We don’t often think about who pleasure is for when we’re intimate. Instead we fool ourselves into thinking that it’s for everyone involved but do we ever really get clear about that? Are you ever asked how you want to be pleasured or do you ask how they want to be pleasured? Or do you rely on past experience with them (or even past partners) to “give” something you think they want? Are you able to ask for something or do you shrink yourself and fall into “giving” or “pleasing” mode? Is it easier to try to give rather than to receive? These are the things I'm tackling in my new course... Here is your chance to get clarity on giving and receiving and become READY TO RECEIVE.
