Embodied Sexual Wellness and Psychotherapy

This is something I hear often. The stories so many of us have about s*xual experiencing are often based on the (cis-het-mono and usually male focused) narratives that society reinforces, but our past experiences as well.
This whole “well I’ve never had a partner say that they didn’t like that before” story is one that deserves questioning. As a s*x therapist, I’m going to invite you to be curious about why your story or belief about s*x is what it is… and more often than not, I’m going to challenge it.
Healthy s*xual experiencing requires communication. It requires us to ask our s*xual partners their preferences and limits. It requires us to communicate our needs and wants. Assumptions are where curiosity and connection die.
Communication, curiosity, and slowing down matter far more than assumptions based on past partners or experiences.
What’s an assumption you’ve had (or heard) about s*x that you had to challenge?

In times of uncertainty, many of us instinctively brace ourselves. We tighten, prepare, and try to endure. Our nervous systems are constantly responding to the environments and systems around us. But pleasure is another path that exists too.
Pleasure is a powerful way our nervous systems remember safety, connection, and aliveness. When the world feels unpredictable, moments of pleasure can anchor us back into our bodies and remind us that joy, softness, and intimacy still exist.
Pleasure might look like feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, moving your body in a way that feels good, savouring a delicious meal, or experiencing intimacy and connection. These moments aren’t an escape from reality- they are a way of resourcing ourselves so we can keep showing up within it.
Choosing pleasure in difficult times is a form of active resistance to a world that often tells us we must live in constant stress and depletion.
Your body deserves moments of goodness, even now. Arguably especially now.
Want to learn how you can surrender into pleasure? Reach out and connect with one of our s*x therapists.
