Have you heard the term erotic intelligence before?  If you haven't, does it sound like it's all about sex? Before attending a transformative retreat with Esther Perel and Paul Browde, that's kind of what I thought.  Talk about confronting! I had agreed to attend with a friend after her husband dropped out, without knowing the details, because it was in Costa Rica and who would say no to that? I was surprised to learn erotic intelligence is actually about feeling alive and energized in your life, and I walked away with a renewed sense of vitality.  In this episode, I'll share what I learned during the retreat as well as the questions and exercises we walked through to help raise your awareness around erotic intelligence. By the end, I hope you'll feel similarly lit up about life. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/696

Then we move up, up, up until we get to that tip of the triangle, which is self-actualization. - Angelika Drake 11:36 It's interesting to look at sex in a strategic way, the same way we would a devotional spiritual practice. It's the business of health. - Jessica Esfandiary 19:30 If a kid is masturbating in public, we do want to give them social programming, that isn't what we do. It's not a safe or appropriate thing to do, but without shaming them, that act itself or that they themselves are somehow wrong or bad. Being able to talk about safe spaces and safety and that you can touch anywhere on your own body, but no one else should touch your body, And if an adult ever touches your body, you come to me and you can tell me and you will never get in trouble. - Angelika Drake   23:00 Purity is a trap. Purity is not just all good and all light. Purity is wholeness and wholeness includes and transcends to get to pure light. We include all colors, all experiences in the whole - That's wholeness. It's an inclusion and a sense of connection. But in order to be connected to these parts of ourselves, they have to be in our conscious awareness. - Angelika Drake 35:18 We live in a society where our bodies are the problem. Women as they're starting to develop, it's like, oh, that we have to cover that up. Pull your skirt down and don't touch it. And it's going to cause a problem and it's going to get you hurt. -Jessica Esfandiary Take advantage of a 30% discount on Dr. Zhana's eligible courses with code "JESSICA", applied to the first payment only for offers with multiple payments or subscriptions. • Open Smarter Course The product I love who support this show: • Honey Pot Lube and Massage Oil OPENLATE20 • The Oh Club OPENLATE • Desire Resorts  This is a Sabbatical Jess Production Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we are redefining and reimagining the Erotic. What is it, why is it so powerful, and how can we bring more of it into our lives? We will hear clips from Audre Lorde's seminal essay, The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power, as well as words of wisdom from adrienne maree brown, and Esther Perel. I hope this makes you feel enlivened, and invites more Erotic experiences into your life. I dream of a society rooted in aliveness instead of death, especially of the most marginalized. Let's dream together.

Ep 125: Girl's Night Chat about the internal and external portions of the Clitoris, Sex, Eroticism, Sexuality, Sensuality, and Culture. Come join us and listen to our Friday Night Chat Interview! Mal and I had so much fun talking about so many amazing topics! Mal Harrison is a sexologist, speaker, author, eroticism philosopher, promoter of self-love, researcher, and the Founder and Director of the Center for Erotic Intelligence. We made it a fun girl's night sipping wine and cocktails as we talked about sex, sensual eroticism, advances in knowledge/study of female sexuality, the cultural aspects of porn, and how Freud is what Mal calls "The world's greatest clit blocker!" And most importantly, we discussed the realities of the G spot and the internal structure of the clitoris. She published groundbreaking information about the structure of the internal clitoris and how it is actually erectile tissue (2011 in medical journals). Check out the amazing must-see 3D imaging and animation of the clitoral shape and see it in action (a simulation of penetration). Guess what? The clitoris is a large structure that extends into a woman and all women are different. It's not just the little bean on the outside of a woman, that's just the head. The internal portion of the clitoris has arms... like a wishbone that wrap around the vagina... you've got to check it out here: https://centerforeroticintelligence.org/internal-clitoris/ and here: https://centerforeroticintelligence.org/the-clit-disco/We also talked about the culture of faking it (once again no thank you to FREUD!), sex toys and women who lacked experiencing an orgasm in life who find the joy of finally having one, the harm the current state of sex ed in America is doing to our youth, and how another country is doing it so much better. We talk about fantasies, shame, alternative lifestyles, and trans individuals. We also discuss the history of sexuality and the best places in New York to have sex! We touch on dogging, sexual norms, and so much more!

Ep 118: The BEST Vibrator Clitoral Stimulation. The best clitoral stimulation I've ever experienced in my life with a toy has come from the Zumio X sex toy. This clit focused sex toy is absolutely mind-blowing, and hands down the BEST toy I've ever tried. In this episode, I share all about the clit, clitoral stimulation, clitoral climax, and how this toy accomplishes this better than any toy I've used. This toy can also improve intimacy when used with others by promoting pleasure. It can also close the orgasm gap between men and women. It's a great tool, a fabulous toy, that will also help those with disabilities or health limitations to enjoy a better sex life. Sexual health is important to overall health and well-being, this toy can facilitate that for women. This is a self-care tool every woman should have in their arsenal of feel-good items. It's also a confidence booster for her partner because he/she can easily get her to her climax. It can be a quick ride when the high levels of strength are chosen, but it can also be a nice and slow edger to build passion. The multiple levels allow it to be customized to an individual's desires and needs.In the link to Zumio: use code word willow when ordering to get 10% off through February 28, 2022.Zumio X Affiliate linkhttps://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1563975&u=3101443&m=98393&urllink=&afftrack=Read the review on Ruan's website: https://ruanwillowauthor.com/best-vibrator-clitoral-stimulation/The articles referenced in this podcast include: Micheal Castleman https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-about-sex/200903/the-most-important-sexual-statistichttps://greatsexguidance.com/the-clitoris-new-insights/Micheal's book: Sizzling Sex for Life (affiliate)  https://amzn.to/3rybNtjWatch for Micheal's interview coming to the podcast soon!Mal Harrison, The Center for Erotic Intelligence, the engorged internal clithttps://centerforeroticintelligence.org/internal-clitoris/https://centerforeroticintelligence.org/the-clit-disco/Watch for Mal's interview coming soon!All my links at https://linktr.ee/RuanWillowRuan's new book: DEBUT of Magic In Her Kisses A woman loving woman age gap erotic romance, professor and student: universal affiliate link to book  https://storyoriginapp.com/universalbooklinks/1fd60b54-7493-11ec-b5c6-4712c13ec515New book in presale: The Kitchen Sex Challenge: Book 1 A Day of Play https://amzn.to/333RevqHello, I'm Ruan!Welcome to my podcast!Listen to this reading to rage up your sexuality, entertain your brain, and enjoy!On my podcast, you will find romance, topics on relationships, romance and love, self-care,  intimacy for adults only,  and it is intended for the purposes of entertainment, your fantasy life, and the arts.

“Am I enough?” is a social and sexual anxiety we ruminate about. Yet, how did we get to this place of having abandoned our unconditional self-acceptance? Deepak put it beautifully when he said that: “we are at war with our own bodies and it's desires.” Eroticism is part of breaking free from our binary thinking: of true/false ideas. Erotic intelligence, similar to emotional intelligence, is the awareness of and accepting of your emotions, what brings you physical pleasure, what brings others physical pleasure, and the connection you experience with yourself and with others. Deepak shares how you can be present as a nonjudgemental observer: starting by reflecting and noticing what you're drawn to in the world and what repels you. Listen, and you'll hear that you are more than enough. .

In this episode, we're having the conversation we need to have about the four keys to creating more of the heat and connection you want and the single practice I use to help couples expand all four things in their relationship, and in so doing, create the love and sex they really deserve.If you've had a hard time initiating sex, or taking your partner up on their invitations, when they ask in the way they ask, even though you sincerely would like to have more sex, at least in the abstract, this is for you. Or if you aren't sure how to ask for more of what you want or you think your partner could build more skill at touching and being present sexually, but it's hard to describe what that skillfulness would look like...This is for you. Or if you notice that you have a hard time staying present in erotic situations: truly letting your partner in and allowing yourself to deeply receive their attention, their touch, and their care...This is for you. If you face those challenges, you are in very good company. Nobody taught any of us how to have great sex, and a nourishing partnership with a grown up in these changing bodies and with these adult responsibilities: aging parents and growing kids and big careers....While we're trying to build a better world. It's a lot!  And I am determined that today's episode will help, because I would like you to get a handle on these four keys, so you can unlock the best sex of your lives. I know it's still ahead of you, whether you believe that yet or not. And in this episode, you will learn how to create it. There are four things that dramatically accelerate a couple's ability to go deeper in love and sex. They include clarity, capacity, communication, and container, we're going to go into all four of them.

She gives women permission to remove their armor and explore the more sensitive, sensual, and intuitive parts of themselves while also taking daring action towards their desires.   Stephanie has a corporate background in talent strategy, culture change, and leadership development, working with Fortune 100 companies such as IBM, TDAmeritrade, and MetLife.

She's worked with hundreds of creative and talented women in over 20 countries to reclaim and honor their voice and power within.   Sensuality is about knowing the nuances of your body and allowing your body to feel what it feels.  Women are uniquely designed to intuit the world through our senses. So many women feel like they should put themselves last and put everything and everyone before them. Coming home to "I MATTER” is a pivotal coming home point for women.  You have permission to be all of you. Erotic intelligence is getting really clear on your desires and pleasure. In order to get to pleasure we have to allow ourselves to be in our most primal nature to receive, be vulnerable.  The leadership of the future is strong and compassionate, nurturing and powerful. The “messy" feminine is where we can hear the sacred voice within us. Women can hold grief and joy at the same time- our emotional capacity and range are remarkable. To celebrate and honor all of our emotions in the body is to be fully embodied. “I'm raising a son who can experience what a woman who is full of herself looks like.”
