🌟 The Science of Sexual Afterglow: Why It Matters 🌟

Did you know that the joy you feel after a romantic encounter isn’t just in your head? This phenomenon, known as sexual "afterglow," can actually boost your happiness for up to two days! 🥰

Research reveals some interesting insights:

Duration of Happiness: The afterglow effect can linger well beyond the bedroom, enhancing your mood and overall happiness for up to 48 hours. This can lead to increased feelings of intimacy and connection with your partner.

Initiation Matters: Interestingly, the afterglow is often stronger when your partner initiates sex rather than when you do. This could be because their initiative makes you feel more desired and valued, amplifying the emotional connection. 💞

Impacts on Relationships: The afterglow effect can also play a crucial role in relationship dynamics, fostering deeper bonds and encouraging positive interactions in the days that follow.

So, next time you share a moment of intimacy, remember that the joy it brings could last longer than you think! Embrace the afterglow and let it strengthen your connection with your partner. ❤️✨

✨ Embracing Kink Positivity! ✨

My job, as your sex educator can provide valuable support and guidance to clients looking to begin experimenting with kink in several ways:
1. Education on Kink Basics: They can introduce clients to foundational concepts of kink, including various types of kinks, BDSM practices, and common terminology. This helps clients understand what interests them and what they might explore. 
2. Emphasis on Consent: Educators can teach the importance of informed consent, emphasizing that all parties must agree to engage in any kink activities. They can discuss verbal and non-verbal consent and methods for negotiating boundaries and limits. 
3. Safety Guidelines: They can provide information about safety precautions, including physical safety (like using safe words, having limits, and employing safe equipment) and emotional safety (promoting aftercare and discussing emotional triggers). 
4. Resources and Tools: Sex educators can recommend books, websites, or workshops that provide further learning about kink practices. They may also suggest joining local or online communities for support and shared experiences. 
5. Exploration of Personal Interests: They can guide clients in reflecting on their interests and desires, helping them identify the types of kinks they might want to explore and discussing their feelings around these interests. 

6. Communication Skills: Educators can offer role-play or scenarios to help clients practice how to communicate their desires and boundaries with partners effectively.

7. Addressing Concerns and Misconceptions: They can help clients navigate any fears or anxieties about kink, addressing common misconceptions and providing reassurance.

Let’s encourage conversations that celebrate sexual diversity and promote understanding! Together, we can build a culture that honors individual expressions of sexuality, where people can share their interests and experiences freely.

I have so many thoughts this morning, it was hard to focus on the biggest take away. Many of the negative comments always have a way of centering back around my body, and the dose of body shaming is always lurking in the background. I post pictures, which show less than bathing suits, because I want people, to see women who have joy and pleasure around their bodies. This alone, is such an act of defiance in today’s world, it is why it elicits such backlash. The simple act of me owning the power around my own body, which is one of the most sex positive things we can do, causes actual heads to spin.

Joy and pleasure being in our bodies is the greatest act of self love we can have. It is in itself an act of defiance in purity cultures, which absolutely works to shame, silence, and make women smaller. A huge amount of sexual dissatisfaction revolves around body image and body shame difficulties. The vast majority of women clients I will work with, will be overcoming so much of this ingrained messaging we have heard, so many times, we can’t separate that noise out from our own thoughts.

Bodies aren’t bad, nasty, or gross. Seeing women own their power around their own bodies is powerful, beautiful, and is to celebrated.

This picture brings me great pleasure, it’s my empowering visualization, unbothered and drinking champagne, bathing in the pissed off tears of the haters. What I do hope, this picture inspires the women who are tired of their own tears around these incredibly important topics, to flip the script! I want you bathing in the joy, pleasure, and connection this life has to offer. And if helps to imagine those tears of the pissed off patriarchy every time a women l pissed of patriarchy every time a women learns to love the skin she is in, sis, use this as your fuel!!

I’m honored, thrilled, proud, and yes, full of pleasure, to go on this journey with you. After all, what is life if we aren’t here to enjoy the pleasure connection. <3

🌟 Exciting Announcement! 🌟

I am so thrilled to introduce The Pleasure Connection a transformative wellness company I recently founded. After facing a very public and horrific life change, I sought a path to healing and empowerment, and turned a painful chapter of my life into a powerful mission of joy, self-discovery, and all the pleasure that life has to offer.

Through the practice of yoga, I found solace and strength, reconnecting with the body and mind. My journey didn’t stop there—I completed a program to become a certified sex educator (CSE) and obtaining sex coaching certifications in many different areas around sexual health, has allowed me to dive deeper into understanding pleasure in all its forms. Whether working with couples, individuals, group settings, there is so much work we can do to find all the ways we can connect to the pleasure in our lives.

At The Pleasure Connection, I believe that pleasure is not just a fleeting moment; it’s an essential part of life that can be embraced in every experience. Join me as we explore ways to cultivate joy, intimacy, fulfillment, and most of all, PLEASURE, in our lives.
