    Sex can be physical closeness without true presence. You can touch and be touched while still escaping your own body. Tantra asks something deeper: are you truly where your body is? 🌿

  2. CW: Self-promo, podcast episode

    Last month I had a lovely talk with educator Fabienne Vailes. Today, it's finally published as a podcast episode!

    We talked about Eros, intimacy, following the flow, injustices within academia, being an accomplice, and so much more.

    (Sharing the least problematic link I could find. It's available on all the podcast places, you know the deal.)

    Some people struggle to receive pleasure not because they don't desire it, but because their body learned to associate intense feeling with danger. Sometimes tantra begins not with more pleasure, but with learning that it is safe to feel. 🌿

  4. Journey of Night

    I’m a brittle-boned unknown whose eyes 
    keep leaking the doom I’m scrolling.

    Sometimes I’m so empty I’ll confess to
    any idle folly that wanders in my head.

    The butterflies in my gut and the fear
    they’ve hatched feel like death heads
    biting my insides.

    As a recent widower, my skull still holds
    dead dreams pinned into a book like a
    moth collection.

    So I’m wondering, how much longer can I
    beat my wings without my muse keeping my
    life spark shining, her life as my angel
    still warming my fire on this journey of
    night.

    Not every intense experience is growth. Sometimes we escape into sex, spirituality, pleasure and “higher states” instead of truly meeting ourselves. Tantra taught me this: growth brings us closer to reality. Escape takes us away from it

  6. Intimacy does not scale (2021)

    In intimate conversation —a case where both or all parties in the same space and time — there are additional ample side-channels for subtexts to be communicated, including both conflict-diminishing and conflict-escallating ones. And miscommunications and disproportionate responses still occur all the time. Who has never had a fight or misunderstanding with a partner?

    It’s far harder in mediated discussion. ...
