“So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. ― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Tend The Tender is a phrase that invites us all to bring more loving attention to our most tender places, and to allow others to care for us when we are feeling a bit raw. To be tender is to be human, and yet many of us struggle to ask for care when we need it most. If we learn how to tend the tender, we can bring more compassionate care to ourselves and those we love the most.

Did you get all the information, support and kindness you deserved as a teenager emerging into your sexuality?

Far from it, right?

So many of us missed out on years of pleasurable exploration because we didn’t have accurate information about our bodies. So many of us still carry wounds and trauma from what happened to us in our early years, especially if we didn’t have enough non-judgmental support. Some of us were hurt or harmed when we actively were seeking help. Now more than ever, censorship efforts target the very information youth need to stay safe and make informed choices.

On the podcast this week we speak with our friends at Scarleteen, in celebration of their 25 years of providing comprehensive, fact-checked, compassionate resources for young people and emerging adults – and those who care for them.

​Scarleteen.com is one of our go-to resources for all questions about supporting youth when it comes to health & wellness, consent & communication, orientation & identity. Scarleteen offers the foundational knowledge that fills in the gaps of abstinence-only education. Their website is teeming with resources, like this guide on how to “have the talk” with young people you care about.

Please join us in supporting Scarleteen- make a direct donation here. Like us Pleasure Mechanics, Scarleteen is a grassroots, independent project that relies on the direct support of those we serve and who care about these resources being in the world.

Erotic Touch Mastery, Stroke by Stroke. Get started tonight.

Our bodies are sensitive, but not delicate. This phrase is something Chris has been teaching for twenty years, since the early days of the Sexological Bodywork training, in response to a pattern they noticed after teaching erotic touch for hundreds of hours. Many people are hesitant when it comes to erotic touch, approaching the genitals as if they are delicate and easily hurt. The truth is, even our most sensitive bits are quite resilient and many people crave much deeper, more intense touch than they are getting from hesitant lovers.

If we can remember the body is “sensitive, but not delicate” we can be both intense and gentle at the same time, and create much more fulfilling and satisfying erotic encounters.
