Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear
There’s no doubt that sexual shame and suppression exist… On a MASSIVE scale in our society. It is the programming that we’ve received in our childhood and throughout our lives, passed down generation to generation. That is the culprit here. The hush hush attitude towards sex and intimacy among our families… Then the ridiculously surface …
I first heard about dilators at an appointment I really wasn’t looking forward to… You see, I was lucky enough to be able to have the opportunity to see a sex therapist, thanks to my boyfriend at the time’s parents (and their employment benefits). Although I can’t say my experience at the sex therapist’s office …
I imagine you’re here because you’ve heard of dilators.. But quite frankly wish you hadn’t.. Not only because they’re associated with an incredibly tough journey that your body has forced you to embark on, but also because they don’t seem welcoming or pleasant in any way! Yeah, dilators don’t give out that cute or playful …
I have found though that many of us experience a certain level of discomfort related to the penis. Whether it’s the shape itself… Or our perception this body part has been tainted by various factors – fearful and painful experiences of the past, or simply what we’ve heard about the penis being used as a …
I’ve always been so curious about rabbit toys. Experiencing vaginismus makes finding a rabbit toy even harder. I could never find a rabbit toy on the market that was small enough for my vagina to accommodate. After consulting with Katrin, we found one of the smaller options out there on Betty’s Toy Box. Admittedly still …
You’ve probably already read about the dilator options out there… And have noticed that there are silicone, plastic and even glass alternatives! I thought that I had explored them all… Until the wonderful Varda Messer from Aquafit Intimate reached out, to share that they had just won the Women’s Sexual Wellness and Self Care by …
The first time I tried having penetrative sex… I didn’t use lubricant. Yep, I know. Big mistake. It 99% wouldn’t have helped me get my partner’s penis past the WALL that my body put up… But looking back, I recognize that I could have been better prepared to make my first time having PIV sex …
A friend of mine with endometriosis, a comrade in the experience of pelvic pain, gave me advice that changed the game for me. Orgasming before penetration can help reduce pain. An orgasm can ensure that the muscles are more relaxed and in many cases, also that the body is more lubricated. Basically, the body is …
Getting a kink in your neck after an uncomfortable night’s sleep is… Annoying to say the least! Getting a kink in the 1000x less physically accessible place in our bodies, in our vaginas, is a WHOLE lot worse. I wrote all about that and the practice of trigger point release, used to relieve this tightness …
Before we ever talk about introducing penetration again through something like dilating, the emotional healing journey to find safety in your mind and body again is crucial… And so is rekindling intimate connection with yourself and with your partner! Adding fun, play and pleasure back into turn-on is a MUST! As part of rekindling that …
