Deep dives
Approaching Touch with Curiosity and Sensitivity
When touching the yoni, it is important to treat the whole body as a sexual organ and work from the outside in. Slow down and explore kissing and caressing the entire body, paying close attention to the breasts to help open the heart and cultivate sexual energy. When it comes to touching the yoni, focus on the external areas first, such as the vulva and the labia, and explore pleasure-giving touch without the expectation of penetration. Start with light touches, copying and massaging to create a safe and pleasurable experience. Encourage open communication and curiosity, and be receptive to your partner's comfort level and readiness.
Supporting Partner's Solo Exploration
Approach the topic of self-pleasure with sensitivity and curiosity. Understand that each partner may have different levels of readiness and comfort with exploring their own bodies. Start with gentle conversations and ask how they feel about self-pleasure and if there are any boundaries or limitations. Share educational resources such as social media profiles or podcast interviews that promote body positivity, pleasure, and empowerment. Encourage your partner to start small, taking gradual steps and honoring their comfort level. Foster open communication and create a safe space for them to express their desires and curiosities.
Creating a Sexual Leadership Dynamic
Embrace your role as a sexual leader by prioritizing your own self-pleasure and sharing the benefits and experiences with your partner. Discuss the importance of self-pleasure and invite your partner to set aside time for their own exploration. Lead by example and share your own self-pleasure practices, making it a normal and positive topic of conversation. Understand and respect your partner's readiness and comfort level, and proceed at a pace that feels comfortable for both of you. Allow for open communication and create opportunities for collective growth and exploration in your sexual relationship.
Addressing Coaching Dynamics
Be aware of the potential for coaching dynamics within a relationship and find a balance that ensures healthy communication and mutual growth. Recognize the importance of educating each other about your own bodies while maintaining an equal partnership. Avoid assuming a coaching role and focus on open dialogue and shared experiences. Share educational resources and encourage your partner's personal exploration while offering support and understanding. Prioritize open and honest communication, allowing each other to freely express desires, curiosities, and boundaries.
Overcoming Shame and Blocks
Acknowledge and address any shame or blocks surrounding sexual exploration and education. Understand that everyone can benefit from this work, regardless of upbringing or societal influences. Embrace the opportunity to engage in this journey and invest in personal growth. Recognize that taking initiative in learning about and pleasing your partner can be incredibly sexy and attractive. Encourage an environment of open-mindedness and curiosity, shedding old beliefs and embracing new ones. Emphasize that there is no shame in engaging in this work, and that it can lead to greater intimacy, pleasure, and wellbeing for both partners.
