Sex Tip Tuesday 🤐

Sex Tip Tuesday 🤐

Add a Little Laughter to Your Foreplay

Sex doesn’t have to be serious to be satisfying. In fact, one of the best ways to build connection (and take the pressure off performance) is to let yourself laugh in bed.

Try playing a ridiculous game of “seductive charades.” Flirt with your worst pickup lines. Make goofy faces while undressing. Or, wear socks with tacos on them and call it your “sexy-time uniform.” Why? Because se...

What gets in the way of accessing pleasure in your body right now?

Let’s get honest for a moment…pleasure isn’t just about sex or climax. It’s about feeling present, connected, and safe enough in your body to receive something safe, good, fun, and pleasurable.
But for a lot of folks I work with, pleasure feels complicated. Sometimes even threatening.

💭 Maybe pain gets in the way.

Sex Tip Tuesday 🍆

When your 🍆 doesn’t get the memo…now what?!

An erection isn’t the measure of your masculinity or your pleasure. Pressure to “perform” can actually sabotage arousal. Instead, shift the focus to sensation, connection, and exploring what feels good without a goalpost.

Engage your whole body, not just your penis. Use breath, touch, fantasy, and communication to dial into pleasure. And remember, there are plenty of way...
