Physical intimacy is one of the keys to maintaining healthy and satisfying relationships. But I'm not just talking about sex. Non-sexual physical intimacy is just as important, if not more so! In today's show, we're going to explore why touch is so powerful and tips for introducing more touch into your relationships. We'll also discuss why, paradoxically, intimate partners often retreat from touch at the times they need it the most—and how to deal with this. I am joined once again by Chris Maxwell Rose and Charlotte Mia Rose, the co-creators of PleasureMechanics.com. They have devoted their lives to generating online resources to support folks in cultivating more erotic pleasure, joy, and connection. They also run a podcast called Speaking of Sex with the Pleasure Mechanics. Some of the specific questions we answer in this episode include: Why do we need touch, and why are so many of us “touch-starved?” How can we open the door to intimate touch when we feel stressed? How can lovers experience more affection and physical intimacy in their relationships? What are some things that people can do to become better at both giving and receiving touch?

Most people say that they find oral sex to be a pleasurable activity, but that doesn't mean that people always enjoy giving or receiving it. A quick search on social media reveals countless posts from people reporting on bad experiences with oral sex, so let’s talk about how to have better oral. In today's show, we're going to explore tips and techniques for amazing oral sex. We'll also discuss what to do if you find yourself getting bored giving oral sex, how to make sixty-nining fun, and so much more. My guests today are Chris Maxwell Rose and Charlotte Mia Rose, the co-creators of PleasureMechanics.com. They have devoted their lives to generating online resources to support folks in cultivating more erotic pleasure, joy, and connection. They also run a podcast called Speaking of Sex with the Pleasure Mechanics.

How do you deal with common roadblocks that interfere with your ability to enjoy performing oral sex, such as boredom or discomfort?

We’re honored to share Charlotte’s seasoned expertise with you all, so without further ado, let’s tune in!

Who feels like they are curious and always ask WHY? Why though? I want to better understand. Well, this audio is BONUS footage, leftover from episode 18 and might offer some perspective. After listening to the bonus footage from episode 18, Sex & intimacy after chronic illness - with Chris Maxwell Rose, I’ve realized that sometimes asking why IS QUITE HARMFUL, because it brings me further away from acceptance. Take a listen if you feel like you ask why…….all the freaken time and want to find another way.

To be healthy and able-bodied is a blessing and the possibility of that changing MANY TIMES throughout the course of our lives is very realistic. Bodies change. Health events occur. To both us and to our loved ones, and thus, we experience different erotic seasons.  In this episode, I invite Chris Maxwell Rose to lead a discussion on the love and compassion we need to give ourselves when our health takes a nose-dive. How does sexuality change? Intimacy? Desire? Touch? We discuss how to listen to our bodies and TRUST ourselves. We also exchange stories of how we developed Type 1 Diabetes and talk about the effect it had on our sex lives. Chris Rose is Co-host of “Speaking of Sex with the Pleasure Mechanics” a podcast who is approaching almost 400 episodes at the time of this recording. She and her partner Charlotte have a combined expertise of 30 years of experience teaching individuals and couples in how to experience more pleasure. They train sexuality educators and coaches, and are certified sexologists and massage therapists. www.pleasuremechanics.com ____________________ Donate to the To Hump A Pillow podcast: https://www.patreon.com/ellenmelon Links we talked about: FREE COURSE: The Erotic Essentials by the Pleasure Mechanics: https://pleasuremechanics.teachable.com/p/the-erotic-essentials/?affcode=160539_lgpqtcim Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology, and How You Can Heal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P42M08O/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 ACEs are Adverse Childhood Experiences: https://sisterhoodagenda.com/are-aces-putting-you-at-risk/ The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IICN1F8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Audre Lorde reads Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic As Power (FULL Updated): https://youtu.be/aWmq9gw4Rq0 ____________________ Ellen Melon Social Media links: https://www.instagram.com/ellenmelonshow/ https://twitter.com/EllenMelonShow https://www.facebook.com/ellenmelonshow www.ellenmelon.com ____________________

LAST CALL The July cohort of Power in Pleasure starts July 21st, so this is the final DAY to register before it closes. You deserve pleasure. You deserve to honor your hunger. Your power is tied to your pleasure. Explore with us and learn more at dawnserra.com/pleasurecourse. Touch. The erotic. And healing. Chris Maxwell Rose is here from The Pleasure Mechanics and we geek out about touch, changing bodies and how our relationship with the erotic changes over time, touch hunger, and much much more. The Pleasure Mechanics have a bunch of fantastic online courses, so if you want to check those out this is my affiliate link. A few of the things we discuss include: The many touch stones that we have in our life that help us stay grounded and connected to ourselves, our body,  and to the people we care about. What does saying yes to connection and touch mean? How do we explore our erotic selves with tenderness, longing, and hunger instead of fear, vulnerability, and terror? Chris shares their experience with mindfulness and being present, and how this practice can help us be more present during sex. Bringing erotic awareness into our daily lives and how skills based practice plays an important role in it.  Reverence and how we can turn our attention to the small and minute things of everyday and savour in those moments.   The different stories around touch, what touch hunger means, receiving touch, and to what degree is affectionate touch tied up to sex. What happens if touch is something that you’re not hungry for? How can we still practice this skill? The violence and harm that can come in how we touch one another and how do we practice the pleasure, love, radical empathy that can also happen through touch? Massage as the yes point for couples and the practice of massage as part of a culture within a relationship. The practice of sharing each other’s desires in a relationship and not taking no as a rejection. Creating micro-experiments as a couple to build foundational skills within the relationship. Honoring where you’re at and being present with yourself and/or relationship knowing that everything is a process and that there is no guarantee of the destination. Harnassing the erotic and how it grows your capacity to the experiences you want and the experiences that you have been practicing towards.

About Chris Maxwell Rose: I am a sex educator with over 15 years experience teaching individuals and groups about sexual health and pleasure. Together with my partner Charlotte, I co-founded PleasureMechanics.com in 2006, dedicated to sharing practical, down-to-earth information and techniques for more sexual pleasure.We have criss-crossed the nation teaching workshops on sex to audiences from 3 to 3,000. Our car has over 300,000 miles on it from our travels. Our work has reached individuals in over 60 countries.

Our online courses teach the techniques of sexual pleasure to men and women around the world, and our podcast offers hundreds of hours of free erotic education to anyone ready to expand their capacity for pleasure, love, arousal and connection. I have been working as an independent sex educator since graduating Vassar College with honors in 2003. Truly, I’ve been a sex educator since my childhood, when I discovered myself camped out in the library’s sexuality section and answering all my friend’s questions on the playground. I try to maintain the wide eyed curiosity of my youth as I distill what I have learned in my decade of hands-on sex education leadership. My highest commitment is helping to create a world where all men, women and couples have the information and tools to become sexually fulfilled. My work is dedicated to creating an end to the cycle of sexual violence and abuse. As a survivor of child sexual abuse and teenage sexual assault, I believe that the cycle of sexual violence is dependent on a culture of sexual shame, fear and silence. These toxic cycles can only be remedied by advocating for sexual wellness, freedom and pleasure. To this pleasurable end I have dedicated my creativity and leadership.

Sinclair Sexsmith and rife are here to talk 24/7 power exchange First up, you can hear me on two podcasts this week talking all about pleasure, bodies, and sex. I chatted with Chris Maxwell Rose of The Pleasure Mechanics all about pleasure, hunger, and the relationship between sex and food. I was also on Rebecca Scritchfield's podcast Body Kindness talking about sex as a social skill. Check them out! This conversation with Sinclair and rife is beautiful. They pull back the curtain on their relationship and let us take a peek at the ways they've grown into their dynamic of 24/7 Master/slave. We explore the ways that bringing conscious, deliberate negotiation to the ways we do relationship can create beautiful conditions for love, support and growth.  Sinclair shares how they want to show more vulnerability as a Dominant, allowing room for growth, mistakes, and not knowing - the antithesis of how so many people see Domination. rife talks about their ultimate goal of creating a trust so deep and so strong that they can surrender all their boundaries and the long, slow process of how they're working in that direction. They also share some of the things they're holding around the language  Master/slave and the legacy of those words within the white supremacy of the United States. I can't wait for you to hear this.

This episode was powerful. I interviewed fellow podcaster and sex educator Chris Maxwell Rose of Pleasure Mechanics.com and The Speaking of Sex Podcast. She has recently been dealing with a new diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. We explore and uncover what this diagnosis of disability has meant for her journey into pleasure and pain. There are so many things she said that resonated for me, as a disabled queer man. This interview shines a bright light on disability in a whole new way, and left me with a lot to think about. I hope it does the same for you!
