Railings are one thing, but slapping – at any point – should have been grounds for some type of retalitory violence, and if attempted again, a call to the metro police.

Have kids for whom trying to teach the concept: “Your body is a temple” generally comes off as Pollyanna. Yours is much more the note I’m trying to hit - thank you for helping me remember that these concepts are not simplistic or moralizing. It’s much more about respect, for yourself (from yourself, and others), and for those you would be with.

Even though I wouldn’t share this post directly with my daughters, it’s still been immensely helpful for me.

I found this incredibly enlightening. To truly rail someone you adore is an act of passion. That said it’s not an easy place for a man to dominate with enough force to take your lover out of their safe space, to overpower with care.. it’s all at odds, but worth the persuit

I love and relate to this reflection of the pendulum swinging.

Unlearning that sex should hurt. Clarity around the PTSD of sexual abuse trauma and disassociation from my body coupled with the reckless abandonment of my 20s, followed by a divine intervention moment, a period of celibacy and then living my understanding of Kundalini and Tantra energy. Creating a relationship to my CUNT with my body, mind & soul.

Now it’s a practice with space that has grace with my pleasure in both the primal and the peaceful.
