If we want to increase our orgasmicity and our capacity for pleasure and aliveness, we first need to re-define what orgasm is. For many of us, our sense of sexuality and Eros is but a small window into the grand landscape of Eros. In most people’s thinking orgasm is an event, a particular moment, a build of energy and a release that is varying in time span and intensity. Most of us think of orgasm as being in the genitals. But what happens when we expand orgasm out into the rest of our body and into life? What happens if instead of thinking of orgasm as an event we define it as experience , and even something that can happen beyond, as well as including, our sexuality. Have you ever had such a good, deep cry and it felt so good? Or a laugh that just took you over and left you feeling high, satiated, as if you had a big release? Have you ever deeply relaxed so much into your body and the moment that time seemed to expand, and your physical body kinda melted into bliss? As you deepened your breath, and continued to release through the exhale, you found waves of ecstasy, small ripples at first that seemed to come from nowhere and without effort? When we let go of effort-ing, get really present down deep in the body, when we drop control, thoughts of how we should be or look, when we learn to feel sound as an indicator to our frequency in that moment, and learn to follow what FEEELS good… letting go of the distraction, not needing it to be any other way that what it is, and embracing the experience….we begin to connect to RESTORATIVE Eros the natural flow of life within us. There is nothing to do, nowhere to be but here and now, melting the layers of conditioning, and control that have kept our sense of aliveness small, and revealing what is hidden within, our true nature.
