"When we touch someone, we touch their whole history, their deepest wounds, their secret identity, their healing powers, and their most profound capacities for joy.
Sacred Intimacy is not rocket science, though it is neuroscience.
We need to understand the neural learning zone, address the traumatic shaping we experience around the erotic, and create space for and welcome empowered choice and voice. We need to understand about attachment wounds, navigate power dynamics, and eschew relationship paradigms that inhibit loving connection.
The lens of neurobiology helps us do this work in ways that are trauma aware, ethical and deeply grounded. There is also a domain - specific knowledge we need, of sensual massage, genital anatomy, genital massage strokes, genital dearmouring, and the integration of science, sex and spirit."
From Caffyn Jesse's new site and new online course - a curation and culmination of their life's work and play. -

Olivia Naomi Bryant is the creator of Self-Cervix - a body of somatic education, research and call to revolution for reclaiming and developing a love affair with this often overlooked and medially mistreated part of the sexual and reproductive anatomy. Studies show that 60% of orgasms by vulva-owners are experienced via the clitoris, 30% intra-vaginally, whilst only 10 % are experienced via the Cervix - despite the cervix being innervated by 3 sets of paired nerves (Vagus, Hypogastric, Pelvic) - the most of any part of the reproductive anatomy. We explore reasons for why this is and how to sensitize and reclaim the pleasures and orgasmic capacity of the Cervix.
