Purple Passion Self-Care: A Plan for Ultimate Pleasure

You’ve reached Purple Passion Self-Care in the last three days. Can you believe you are near the end? Do you remember how the challenge started? I celebrated this morning by watching Magic Mike’s Last Dance. I loved the idea presented in the movie that when bodies move, they are sexy. Hopefully, you know yours a lot more in all four dimensions: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. That’s what sexual self-care is about—nourishing, understanding, and balancing these four components in you. I hope you made friends with yourself and learned many things. Let’s combine the last three days with your plan...

Trailblazing Women Empower Others to Embrace Their Sexual Health

Women empower each other, knowingly or unknowingly. I don’t know about you, but I want solid and supportive voices around me. I love Serena Williams’s quote, “Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another. We’re strongest when we cheer each other on.” When I create a new project, I want to hear the voices around me of the women who aspire to help, cheer, console, and revel in what I do. For the Purple Sex Journal, with its focus on sexual health and wellness, I asked women known in the sexual field to write an inspirational quote for the...

How Creating Mandala Art Encourages Your Sexual Wellness

Drawing free-form mandala art can be a powerful tool for exploring your sexual wellness. It is an element that I included in the Purple Sex & Love Beyond Your Dreams: A Women’s Guided Journal to Explore Your Sexual Self. It facilitates investigating nine topics of sexuality. Sexual self-exploration or discovery work sits in sensuality, self-intimacy, fantasy, sexual behavior, gender, sexual orientation, pleasure, body image, and desire. And with new beginnings, it is helpful to create activities that allow you to experience yourself in an innovative way. Combining personal mandala art with sexual topic assessments is a unique way to express...

Can You Handle A Month Focused on Your Sexual Self-Pleasure?

Welcome to May’s Monthly Self-Pleasure Challenge Week One, May 1-6 Self-Pleasure to know thyself. Could this be more relevant than for your sexuality? Most folks don’t know their sexual self because our culture, institutions, family, and society send negative messages about understanding ourselves as sexual human beings. I created this sexuality challenge for masturbation month for you to explore who you are sexually with a focus on pleasure. This idea might sound foreign to you because many people talk about masturbation and orgasm as pleasure, yet we have not stated pleasure as a part of sexual health. The World Health...

How to Become Your Best Sexual Self. Mind. Body. Heart. Spirit.

For any starting point on your sexuality, let’s think about structure. I’ve found the best way to approach this personal learning is to use a holistic sex-positive approach focusing on Body. Mind. Heart. Spirit. If you want to become your best sexual self, you need to learn about yourself within the layers of your sexual self. As sexual beings, when we learn what makes us tick, we can use that information to expand and improve our quality of life within our sexuality. Defining Your Sexual Self in Sexual Health My first degree always gets me rolling. Health education. Here sexual health...
