Simply journaling random thoughtsContinueContinue reading “Journaling Sustains Intimacy With Self”

Penetrate The Moment

Penetrating the moment is a choice. One penetrates the moment by softening their mind and heart. With softness, comes easier acceptance of what is occurring in real time. Softness and acceptance becomes more natural with practice. The goal is not to ‘fix’ any given interaction. It’s about living in an alive, embodied present. This isContinueContinue reading “Penetrate The Moment”

Life Responds To How You Show Up

I felt elevated and moved by grace as the large horse pivoted and turned under my saddle.

She and I had learned to trust one another over time andContinueContinue reading “Life Responds To How You Show Up”

The Art of Aural, Giving Good Phone

Good aural sex is both an art and a discipline. Voice tone has a direct effect on the frequency and passion in an intimate relationship. Even when not anticipating formal intimacy, you’re building or diminishing a love connection with each interaction by how you speak. Remember that foreplay is a constant, rather than an event.ContinueContinue reading “The Art of Aural, Giving Good Phone”

Responding to Relationship Stress with an F word

They are: Fight, Flight/Fantasy, Faint/Fold, Freak/Flail, Freeze, Fix, Fun, Feel, Flow and F**k. Our teachers in school told us that humans essentially only have two main responses to stress (that being fight orContinueContinue reading “Responding to Relationship Stress with an F word”

Killing a Deer, Honoring a Woman

As a young man, I killed a deer. It was one of the most profound moments in my life. I did not take this act lightly in any way. My purpose was food for the upcoming winter.

Safety in Intimacy

In my experience, the things that most allow a woman to trust and open to an intimate partner are love and safety. With these two elements in place, a woman may more fully open her heart, whether it be a one-time, long-term, committed belovedship or a marriage. With a trustable and loving partner she canContinueContinue reading “Safety in Intimacy”

The Peace of the Mountains

Long vistas of ridges beyond ridges and deep, steep roadless canyons. A hot, sunny, still and cloudless day under a seemingly endless blue sky. I was traveling along a dry, rocky and rough dirt track through the mountains. Somewhere past halfway to the destination I came across a spring-fed pool. Water sheeted down a shortContinueContinue reading “The Peace of the Mountains”

Can You Revel In A Kiss?

We’re all familiar with alternate giving when it involves foot rubs, massage or more intimate touch. But, where is the rule that we always have to kiss simultaneously?

Imagine your lover gently, slowly, sweetly kissing your heart, neck, faceContinueContinue reading “Can You Revel In A Kiss?”

How Deep Can You Glow?

Horses, Tango, Intimacy

Horse. I felt elevated and moved as if by grace as the large horse pivoted and turned under my saddle. Her body and mind were in tune with my intention as we negotiated a hillside.

When Is Sex Tantric?

There are innumerable definitions of tantra and tantric sex. Some people say that “neo-tantra” is neither new or tantra. Methinks they are both right and wrong. I present my definition to you here.

Conscious Relationship Ending

This is simply one way to navigate a “breakup”. I do not mean to imply this is the best method for everyone. My intimate partner and I recently shifted into being non-sexual friends and allies.
