“The way women are made to conform to this double standard is through the deprivation of sexual self knowledge. Deprived of their own bodies, they have no way of discovering or developing sexual responses. Had an early age, women are prohibited from touching their genitals with the threat of supernatural or real punishment. Information about the clitoris and life affirming orgasm is withheld, and women are installed with the idea that female genitals are inferior, that a woman’s main value lies in procreation and giving a man sexual pleasure. Without any sexual pleasure of her own, I woman may come to think of her genitals as being repulsive and a constant source of discomfort and shame. This kind of sexual repression is a vital aspect of keeping women in their ‘proper role’.”

“Ladies, please listen: YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT ARE THE PRIMARY THINGS THAT GIVE YOUR BODY SOMETHING OF REAL VALUE TO TASTE. There are 3 kinds of tastes in a woman—those tastes are spirit, soul and body. These tastes alchemized give a woman true SUBSTANCE (her company becomes of high value and absolutely fulfilling), they are like soulfood. Without your spirit and soul, your body is just meat ready for any man who wishes to masturbate. Thirsty men want to masturbate through your body. They don’t need that authentic spirit and soul connection, it’s too woowoo for them. But some of us love some of that woowoo stuff. We derive a lot pleasure from connecting at a deeper level beyond the body. #DeepCallsUntoDeep.”

“Along the way, I learned some things. One thing I learned was that even though most people thought their problem was about sex, it rarely was. More often it was a problem with knowing how to relax, how to attend to their sensation, or how to respect and accept their desires. They had trouble knowing how to be vulnerable, playful, or generous, or how to set limits. They had trouble receiving, or even knowing what it meant, and trouble giving and knowing what that meant. These things are much more fundamental, but because difficulty with them feels so normal, people often didn’t notice them until sex was involved, so they thought it was about the sex. Far more often it was a challenge with these more basic skills.”

“The traditional meaning of consent means agreeing to something someone else wants: “I consent to X.” In this meaning, you “give consent” or “get consent”. I’d like to expand the definition and think of consent as being an agreement that two or more people come up with together. You don’t give consent, you arrive at consent—together.”
