I was just writing a lover a morning email...a stream of consciousness about how my energy builds...the things that connect me to myself through how I experience others...and how that energy manifests sometimes into this openness in my hips, and desire to pull in and consume someone whole. A feminine energy manifestation, to be sure, as the feminine receives. A powerful manifestation of that energy would be full consumption...(although giving birth is the level that follows...consuming, synergizing, then birthing new life...). But I was wondering how men experience when they are fully connected with self & their masculine energy through sex... I imagine a type of smash/explode/obliterate feeling, and have connected with that to some degree with pegging, but don't know if/how my gender or social conditioning influence those thoughts/feelings, or what other layers some may also experience? Please share here or privately if you prefer...I can repost anonymously if you care to share with others, or just keep the convo between us...xoxo

I'm journaling on this topic this morning, and thinking about what my main categories are for doing regular check-in's on my vision for the future. These are what I came up with: self & spirit (connection to self) family & friends (support networks) partners & intimacy (giving/receiving in balance) professional life (driven by passion & purpose) environment (home space, region, and surrounding energies) skills & knowledge (evolution & growth) community (giving back) Do you have others that don't fit into the categories I created here? How do you structure your own internal check-ins? How often do you re-ground in this vision? Are there other practices that help energize those check-ins for you? (ie: through creative outlets for instance...). I'm interested to hear about how others do this, as I think we each have unique ways of how we achieve our goals. Please share yours if you care to! xoxo

In current times, #consent has become an important part of the discussion in any interaction that involves intimate play. Considerations for emotions, physical activities involved, sexual contact, and energy exchange can make the process feel more like a business transaction than play, connection or healing...but it doesn't have to! I have learned lots of ways to weave #negotiation in to conversation and have it still be flirty, fun, and feel collaborative, but am always looking to expand this conversation. Every potential partner is unique , and communicates differently , so having multiple ways to approach these conversations helps us create better synergy in a variety of dynamics. What negotiation tricks serve you well? How have you developed the ways in which you negotiate? Are you confident in your negotiation skills, or are there areas you would like to improve upon?
