Wow! I learn something new every time I listen to the SC podcasts. It’s causing quite a stir in my understanding of what I thought I knew. Thanks for sharing a conversation around the cervix. New world here I come.
Amazing! That’s our hope =) Thanks for listening and sharing
My first sexual relationship was with a guy I had no emotional connection. Sex was painful. Your description of pounding was appropriate… Now I’m in a monogamous committed relationship which meant when we share intimacy, we were able to do so with deep vulnerability and we used masturbation to share what we liked and to create easy pleasure and enjoyed sexual pleasure.. Our sex has improved over the years and we can easily find the sensation of a continual low level orgasm which lasts about an hour though time seems timeless. I think we have pauses and short bursts of thrusting. Your sharing enhances our knowledge and maybe my experience may enhance others knowledge.
Hi Louise, thank you so much for sharing your experience, so valuable and inspiring. Thanks for listening.
