AMOROSA

Christi Hester (they/she), an erotic embodiment & intimacy coach, bodyworker, and artist currently based in Savannah, GA, joins us to talk about energy sex! We get into breath and sensation as anchors for arousal and release, our experiences with spontaneous and intentional energy sex, sustaining orgasmic satisfaction through edging, orgasmic emotional release (everything from tears to laughter!), energy sex in dreams, sexual somatic memories, the spirituality of energy sex (and resistance to spiritualizing the practice) and pleasure as activism!

Can masturbation open the doors to self-love, body love, overcoming white beauty standards, and establishing a meditation practice? Yes! Solosexual artist, writer, and sex + bate coach, Beastly Bator, shares with us how he discovered and embraced his solosexuality. We discuss the connection between self-pleasure and body appreciation, common solosexuality misconceptions, navigating relationships without the pressure to perform sexuality, honoring masculinity outside of societal expectations, and using our turn-ons to maintain our connection to ourselves in order to help us show up with more presence and intention in all aspects of life. Oh! We also talk about taking nudes, sharing them on OnlyFans, and supporting sex workers.  

Dr. Devon Price, social psychologist and health implementation scientist, joins the podcast to break down the difference between self-objectification and being someone who fully embodies themselves, sexuality included, backed by social psychological research. The discussion gets into erotic self-portraiture, how the naked body isn't inherently sexual, their respective experience on OnlyFans, the protection and respect sex workers deserve, as well as the pressure that is put on sex work to be empowering in order for it to be justified when that pressure isn't put on other work. Join the conversation!

In this episode I normalize masturbation, and... normalize abstaining from it. Listen to hear about the health benefits of the arguably safest sex a person can have. You are invited into a quick reflection exercise on how you define masturbation and then I give the definition I work with. I also share questions you can ask a partner about their masturbation practice in order to satisfy their needs and desires. The episode ends with an audio love letter dedicated to masturbators everywhere that celebrates them as artists of the erotic. Chances are… you are probably one of them given how common this practice is so... feel free to bask in the love and praise, dear masturbator!

AMOROSA podcast launch! In this short intro, I share my intention for this podcast and touch on what drew me into helping others embrace their desires, nurture their relationships, and shed shame they might carry in relation to their sexuality. I hope it inspires all kinds of juicy energy for you and that you stay awhile!
