People often talk about sexual needs.

It seems pretty obvious when you speak it out loud, but most people don’t consider the consequences of having sex out of need, because it’s so common. Few people even are aware that anything else is possible. This is the biggest block to satisfying, deep and fulfilling sexual life and intimacy. And when you break it down, what this is all about, it comes down to emotions and it comes down to trauma. When your body is full of repressed emotions, sexuality becomes a release valve where you’re steaming off the pressure of these toxic festering feelings onto your partner. Is it a surprise that people get bored, go off sex and relationships breakdown ? Looking at the symptoms and thinking that introducing porn, sex toys, new partners or even some new sexual techniques misses the underlying cause of the disconnect. The key to intimacy lies in your self work, your knowledge of yourself and relationship with you. It’s from this place in life you’re able to participate in intimacy knowing that you already have your own needs fulfilled. And this is the place from which you’re able to provide high quality energy that will have yourself and your partner experiencing the heights of bliss. Thing is, you don’t necessarily need to sit through years of gruelling therapy to get there. There’s a quicker, cheaper and much more fun way to release the traumas and blocked emotions and stand in your pleasure presence. ~The Art of the Bed Chamber
