The Reveal: It’s Not Always as Sexy as It Sounds.

I have allowed myself to articulate core beliefs about worth and wounds, and not automatically shut them away for fear of anyone else's feelings about my (perceived) brokenness.

The Magic of Loving Yourself.

The one thing we all, women and men alike, need to remember is that people will only love you as much as you love yourself. That includes taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can’t expect someone to respect your vessel if you abuse it, be that with drugs, alcohol, ...

Invoking the Red Tent: A Vow to My Wounded Sex.

I feel a snake, uncoiling; an energy, unfolding. I see an earthen star forming the five points -- the rooted stakes -- of my hearth’s tent. I see it rise, solid and strong. Stoic, in a way, as it holds within its walls all of the mysteries, the atrocities, the stories and the epiphanies leading ...

Happy Sex After Rape: My Search for Pleasure After Trauma.

I am not writing this as a professional sex therapist. While I am trained and certified in various fields of therapy, I am writing this as a woman who has blossomed and is still blossoming after sexual trauma. I am writing this as a woman who is a sexual being, and was a sexual being before she ...

Boys will be boys, and other uttered nonsense.

Suggesting that the Stanford rapist's actions were a mistake caused by alcohol is to suggest that every man has an inner rapist, and that there is a line -- perhaps 5 drinks, or perhaps 10 -- that, when crossed, turns men into animals incapable of self-control.

The Power Between My Legs.

Vaginas depicted in the art world don’t fare any better. What’s worse is that much of the disapproval comes from women. Go to any comments section, on any article covering vaginal art, and you’ll find a stream of women making statements such as "That’s disgusting!"

Healing From The Lie Of Purity.

I rose from the ashes of the underworld where I was banished to. I didn’t belong there, but many young girls lose themselves there, too ashamed to live on and face life. And that is why I speak today: for the families of the ones who didn’t survive, for those who did survive but lost joy in ...

My Sexual Peak Is A Celebration.

People throw up sex addiction when I’ve tried to discuss my sexual peak with them. Apparently, if a woman wants an abundance of sex, then she must have a psychological condition -- she couldn’t possibly just want to get laid.

Easter: Sacrifice & Resurrection, or Sex & Fertility?

Who knows what the real story is? Three things I know for sure: Chocolate is delicious. Bunnies are cute and furry. Eggs are a symbol of birth and new beginnings. So this Easter I will be searching for and eating Easter eggs with my kids, cuddling a bunny if one should cross my path, and ...

Love At First Sight: A Misnomer.

I remember the moment I realized that I loved my girlfriend, now wife, like it was yesterday. I didn’t date much in high school and college. Talk to my therapist if you want to know about all of my issues, but I was insecure. I grew up in a home that didn’t express a lot of emotion. The moment ...
