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 …
Let’s be real… For those of us who have experienced pain before, transitioning from your dilating process to penetrative sex is a leap of faith of its own. You’re already making a wonderful amount of progress in your both your emotional and physical healing journeys, AS WELL AS the often overlooked adventure of finding and …
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 have found though that many of us experience a certain level of discomfort related to the penis.

If you can relate to any of this, we have a lot in common! Perhaps you had resistance to having a self-pleasure practice.. I mean, we have all grown up in a shame-steeped culture around sex and pleasure! Or maybe you ripped the bandaid and you tried to be adventurous like your girlfriend or partner …
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 …
