Episode Summary:

In this episode of “Speaking of Sex With the Pleasure Mechanics,” we discuss the concept of relaxed receiving during massage, erotic touch or other kinds of shared intimacy. We emphasize the importance of active and engaged receiving, even during moments of quiet enjoyment. We provide strategies for both givers and receivers to enhance communication and connection while learning how to communicate non-verbally through touch and presence. We also touch on the power of erotic relaxation and the benefits of building our capacity to move between relaxed and aroused states during our intimate encounters.

Join us as we explore the balance between active and passive receiving during our intimate moments and unlock the potential for deep connection and pleasure in both states.

Vanilla can be so delicious on it’s own, but with permission to enjoy a wide range of toppings, the possibilities for pleasure become boundless.

Maybe it is the whipped cream of extra romance, the sprinkles of sensation play or the spicy popcorn of adding in new toys, you can add so many toppings to your favorite vanilla and never get bored.

Tell us about YOUR favorite pleasures to add to vanilla by recording us a voice memo here.
