Voor veel 40 plussers is het idee van non-binair vreemd. Hoe werkt dit? Wat voel je dan? Is het ‘alleen maar bi' zijn of meer? Zij is een heleboel wel, maar ook een heleboel niet. Wel: kinky, queer, panseksueel en panromantisch. Maar NON-binair, NIET monogaam en NIET neuro-typisch. Wilrieke gebruikt de voornaamwoorden they/them en zet zich in voor consent, knuffelen én de kink-gemeenschap. ‘they' vertelt vandaag over lust, genderrollen en haar ervaringen met het dom/sub spel en de openbaringen van het ervaren van beide rollen. Een must-hear voor iedereen die hier wel eens meer over wil weten!Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Het interview was afgelopen, de apparatuur al uit, toen ik ineens nog een brandende vraag had voor Intimacy Activist Wilrieke Sophia: "Je komt zelf uit een worsteling met je seksualiteit, en nu ben je bevlogen facilitator van workshops waar zelfs seks wordt 'beoefend'. Hoe is dát dan gegaan?" Gefascineerd door de reis die zij maakte -van iemand die zich seksueel op slot voelde, naar iemand die zelfs op de barricade staat voor gezonde seksualiteit-, vroeg ik nog even door.Veel luistergenot en plezier met deze bonustrack met Wilrieke Sophia.
"Het grote verschil met toen, is dat ik nu weet dat mensen seks met me willen hebben, dat dingen beschikbaar zijn. Er is altijd wel iemand die met je op avontuur wil gaan."Nu is Wilrieke Sophia een bevlogen en getalenteerd Intimacy Activist. Ze geeft workshops waarin je intimiteit en seksualiteit kan ontdekken en leren door te ervaren: een laboratorium waarin je gecontroleerde experimenten kunt doen. Ze gaf een TedTalk over het belang van intimiteit, over de 'hiërarchie in aanraking', over hoe je in je lijf kan voelen wat een Ja en wat een Nee is. Haar Relatie met Seks is er een van fascinatie en nieuwsgierigheid. Maar dat is zeker niet altijd zo geweest.In deze aflevering vertelt Wilrieke Sophia wat voor haar het grote verschil heeft gemaakt: ervaringen opdoen met anderen, input krijgen van buitenaf. Paden zien waarvan ze nooit had gedacht dat die voor haar zouden zijn, waarvan ze niet eens wist dat ze bestonden. Om je seksuele ervaring te veranderen hebben we die combinatie nodig van met je hoofd wéten dat iets mogelijk is, én de nieuwe ervaring opdoen met je lichaam, zodat je nieuwe imprints krijgt: "Zie je wel, ik kán dit, dit is mogelijk voor mij." En ja, dat kan óók met je eigen partner.Een heerlijk verfrissende, no-nonsense aflevering, vol wijsheid en prikkelende uitspraken! Ok, alvast nog eentje dan: "Huur iemand in! Sekswerkers zijn óók voor als je op een hele veilige manier iets nieuws wilt ontdekken."

Wilrieke Sophia noemt zichzelf een badass cuddleslut en intimacy advocate. Ze coacht op het gebied van intimiteit en je kan bij haar terecht voor knuffelworkshops, maar ook tantra, conscious kink en bufo ceremonies. Op haar blog Exploring Deeper deelt Wilrieke haar visie op intimiteit, seks en relaties. Zo kwam ze op mijn pad door een blogpost genaamd: A Letter to the Woman how Sleep with my Man, dat heel mooi begint met "Thank You" en "Thank you for enriching his life. You can give him things I never can; for the simple reason that you are not me." Triggerde mij in ieder geval genoeg om haar uit te nodigen en ik vond het een onwijs mooi, open en inspirerende gesprek! In deze podcast leer je: - Hoe laat je negatieve gebeurtenissen los? - Hoe kan jij je intimiteit met iemand verbeteren? - Wanneer ben ik in het hier en nu? - Wanneer is iets echt een verlangen? - Hoe het is om een open relatie te hebben? - Wat is Bufo en waarvoor wordt dit ingezet? Vooral luisteren als je ook de tips voor een leuker seksleven niet wil missen!

I get to discuss a topic that I have been wanting to talk about for some time, ever since I became curious with my sexuality a few years ago. I admit, I went through a phase in my life, exploring whether I could enter an open relationship. I did a lot of research into polyamory, I spoke to friends who had open relationships and I had flings with men who held multiple partners. The more dropped into the rabbit hole, the more questions I had. The first big questions I had to ask myself, was WHY? Why did I feel the need to have an open relationship? Was this my nature OR was I just wanting to experiment with myself, test my values and belief systems around monogamy. Today, you get to listen to a great conversation with a women who is very insightful around this topic - non-monogamy. Wilrike Sophia is a woman who has been exploring her sexuality with open relating - non monogamy. She talks openly of her journey to opening her heart and arms to many partners while in a long term relationship, the father to her children. They embarked on a journey of personal growth - sharing herself with many lovers. This offered her a lot of freedom, variety, excitement and also an opportunity to heal her limiting beliefs and fears that became triggered along the way....Wilrieke believes anyone can have an open relationship, if you willing to be curious, explore yourself, have flexibility and be prepared for not having a format. Unlike monogamy, there is no format because when you leave the standard paradigm of relating, there is no guide book. There is no one way of doing things so you want to ensure you do this in a healthy way, knowing yourself really well - being able to know when you feel unsafe - communicating your fears, boundaries or putting an agreement in place with your partners. She speaks about the difference between our comfort zone and terror zone - knowing when you are in your window of tolerance and the window of your comfort zone - how we need to have a lot of compassion so we are not pushing our nervous system. This is such a goodie!So many great tips and advice to ensure you feel safe and ready to explore open relating.If you would like to contact Wilrieke directly or follow her on social media, you can find her at:www.wilriekesophia.comInsta: www.instagram.com/wilrieke_sophia/

Many years of exploration taught her how to accept herself on the deepest levels and surrender with a smile to life. Her path brought her into the realms of tantra, BDSM, non-monogamy, healing, shamanism, mindfulness, meditation, and her horses taught her about empowered leadership and dynamics between individuals based on body language and charisma.

How can she reduce the awkwardness of this first meeting and make sure everyone is comfortable? You can’t make anyone do anything Think of it as a party: set up channels of communication beforehand, introduce people and conversational topics, have favorite foods and drinks at hand, diminish expectations and pressure, have icebreaker activities set up Model the behavior you want to see: calm and vulnerable Let everyone know that nothing rides on this—you can flub everything up, and it will still be OK Ask everyone involved what they would need to be comfy and their ideas for helping to make everyone else comfy Thanks to Erich Viedge for interviewing poly activist and educator Wilrieke Sophia on a similar topic and having her read her “Letter to the Women Who Sleep with My Man” for us! 27:10 Feedback A listener wrote in to comment on a response to herpes we discussed on episode 517, pointing out that, while most people experience herpes as a minor inconvenience at most, herpes can be quite painful for some outlier cases. 29:00 Happy poly moment A listener writes in to share how she and her husband overcame the obstacles to enable her to ask for what she wanted and to be truly happy for her husband and their new lover! 33:35 Book review: Erich Viege interviews Paige Turner Our correspondent Erich Viedge interviews Paige Turner, author of Poly Land: My Brutally Honest Adventures in Polyamory.
