I have been receiving some posture alignment therapy from an associate. He mentioned to me that I might want to work with him to experience his work and the possible benefits. So I signed up for an introductory session. I am now on my 6th session and it is great.Through some very simple core exercises we worked on realigning my hips and to see how my posture would respond.
What I experienced was a rush of energy through my body from my legs up to my sacrum. It was the most pleasure I have felt. It is a different kind of pleasure…. intense, surging and orgasmic. I was not expecting that the alignment would increase the flow of energy in my body. I am very grateful for this.
… and then I remembered about the whole chapter about posture in the “Tantra for Gay Men” book. Is this why posture is so important to accessing different levels of pleasure?

Erotic energy is such a creative energy. Not only can erotic energy be used in sex but you can learn to use that desire, that motivation to do many things. I want to share with you a drawing I received from a great artist in New York City. I bet that he channels erotic energy to create things…. even an Austino genie.

I often think about some stories of some “well off” ladies who spend their days pampering themselves. Trips to the hair salon, manicure, pedicure, massage, yoga, pilates class, private trainers, accupuncture, chiroprator, art class, spiritual advisors, etc etc.
I imagine that if I had a huge income stream that I would spend my time having other pamper me and becoming the best I can be.. in this way. Until then, I will continue what I am doing.. an occasional appointment with someone to pamper me and also pampering myself.
What do you do to pamper yourself?
What can you do today to pamper yourself?

A former life coaching client from New York City called today and wants to get started on some weekly coaching. I am glad to be working with him again. It is great fun. He had worked with me for many years (life coaching, shifting careers, discovering his passion, and sometimes erotic life coaching too) and we took a break from the weekly calls back in 2007.
One of the things we talked about was computer use. He mentions that his computer time has increased in the last year. Some of that time is very productive and part of the workday. (He is self employed) and another part of the computer time is surfing the net as the hours pass. It is not that he is spending time on porn sites. (I know alot of us are surfing porn and video cams but he is not one for that.) He visits sites that he finds interesting to read and explore. He says he could probably do more “productive things” like taking a walk, exercising or talking with friends.
I know that there are many of us who sit at the computer and surf sites for hours and hours and feel bad about doing it. We have a sense that our time would be better spent connecting with other, talking to friends, family and so on.
I have to wonder what makes us spend time online and then feel bad about doing it?
How do you know when to get up and walk away?

I encourage you to look into the introductory workshop “Celebrating The Body Erotic” by Body Electric. It is one of the most amazing experiences in life and if you are on an erotic journey to wholeness this can be a great step along your path. There is a little video you can watch. It is a little hokey and looks like one of those Califonia encounter groups from the 70s, but honestly.. it is way way better than that.
Upcoming Dates in Chicago: —–October 4th and 5th.
Call Paul Shoun with any questions or for more information.
Call him at 773-529-2519… and please tell him that I sent you.
There are listing in 16 other cities in the US and Canada for September, October, and November. Look here

I was talking with one of my mentors - Don Shewey - about this and he gave me a whole lot to think about and I thought I would share a bit of it with you.
He mentioned that most of us do not “ask for what we want”.. in many different areas of our lives. It shows up, especially, in our intimate and erotic lives. Sometime we just don’t know what we want. but if you do.. You might just be afraid to “ask for what you want”… for fear or rejection.
Don mentions that we might have folded together 2 different and very powerful things.. Desire and Requesting.
Desire is a wish or something you long for, crave, want… but desire is not a request. Desire is just and intimate expression of who you are and what you imagine, what you think about or what you long for.. Imagine what that might feel like in your body, just to say what you desires. Your desire is always yours. No one can take that way from you… and it is not a request. It is just an expression of you, and a very intimate expression from you. It has the potential of creating deeper intimacy between two people.
Now, a request is actually asking for what you want. It is not a demand of something that has to happen. It is just a request. A request is heard by another person and is then there is a response by that person. This is actually the main part of —-”asking for what you want”.
The asking starts with a sentence like this.
Will you…… (fill in the blank with your desire)
That request can come with a response in 3 general terms by the other person.. 1. YES. 2. No 3. NOT THAT BUT THIS…,
So next time you get intimate think about expressing your desire. Reveal yourself, then take a moment, breathe, feel it in your body, ……then make the request and leave it up to “the flow”.
