from 2022-10-06T08:57:02
WARNING - This episode contains strong themes of an adult nature, including sexually explicit descriptions and language. Please be advised.
Lyn is joined by Goddess Andrea Maynes, a tantric practitioner and sexual guide, to discuss the difference between intimacy and sexual intimacy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Sensuality is the deployment of all the senses in order to pleasurably stimulate. It doesn't necessarily result in sex. it is more the delight taken in arousing the senses.
- Intimacy does not mean a sexual relationship. It can be a deep friendship, or the nurturing of close family relationships.
- Our natural instinct is to care for others, sometimes at the cost of caring for ourselves. We need to take as much care of ourselves as we do for others. Stop the people pleasing and please ourselves more.
- Communicating our desires and needs in the bedroom is the ultimate form of intimacy and trust. This level of intimacy is a game changer, not just in terms of creating more love, passion & fulfillment in a relationship, but also in achieving the levels of arousal and pleasure we want to experience, sexually.
BEST MOMENTS
