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.
