I recently had a good friend say to me, “I completely understand what a sexual health advocate is. But how do you define a pleasure activist??”
This was my reply:
“What is a Pleasure Activist? Good question!
Sex is pleasurable for some people and not so for others.
As a Pleasure Activist, I support and promote looking for and finding your own pleasure.
Instead of shying away from pleasure, I support leaning into the pursuit of your own pleasure; pleasure in any and all ways.
Our bodies are designed to give us pleasure in order to make more of us - biology is incredible - really one of the most pleasurable things many of us can enjoy with our bodies is sexual pleasure. Our own pleasure can be profound and life-affirming, whether we give/receive pleasure with ourselves and another person (or people) or solo. Sharing pleasure with other humans, giving and receiving, can provide the highest of all highs, provincial. The little death is real: touching the universe can occur at the height of orgasm for everyone involved - solo or otherwise.”
Pleasure can be scary. Giving and receiving is the name of the game, but how do you play?
You start with communication.
I facilitate workshops that focus on communication to pursue pleasure.
The quick answer: a mindfulness practice and a communication structure.
I invite you to explore the 6POSH and R-BDSM-T pages and learn more. And, of course, I invite you to attend one of my workshops…

What is R-BDSM-T?
How do you communicate about your sexual health? What questions do you ask? What info are you willing to share?
R-BDSM-T is a communication structure that gives us the opportunity to openly share with others when Eros arises...
R:relationship. Are you in a relationship? What is your relationship style?
B:boundaries. What are your no's? What does not work for you?
D:desires. What are your yes's? What works for you?
S:sexual health. Use the 6POSH approach, and...have you ever been tested? When was the last time you were tested? How often are you tested?
M:meaning. What will this interaction mean to you/us/me?
T:trauma. Are you aware of any sexual trauma?
How do we get good at using R-BDSM-T? We practice, practice, practice!
Our safe workshop container creates an environment to practice R-BDSM-T with other actual humans!
Are you ready to explore and build your eros communications and mindfulness practices?
If so, a 6POSH & R-BDSM-T workshop is designed for you!
