Memorable Quotes:

"And if we can teach them how to use them better, if we can give them permission and information to reclaim that part of themselves and flip the script from it being a source of so much pain, so much suffering, so much heartbreak, and so much trauma, and instead turn it to healing, inspiration, and connection, that would be a worthwhile project." – Jamie Wheal

"Once you're in that neurochemical state, magically, you feel lust. You feel attraction. You feel novelty. You can't keep your hands off each other and everything is fresh and shiny again.” – Jamie Wheal

"That's not personal. And we can reverse it. And we can reverse it by committing to sexuality as a practice and perfecting how to make love, how to actually prime the neurochemistry of the lust and the attraction that fired us up in the beginning.” – Jamie Wheal
