Hey community! Over the past year, I have been experiencing some of the most incredible events surrounding sensual touch in my community in Missoula. I have yearned for spaces where Eros is explored through facilitated practices in sensual and boundaried ways. Yet, as I am diving deeper, my body is going through massive hormonal shifts and my libido and ability to orgasm is virtually extinct! The goal for me is pleasure (not orgasm) but I’m finding it hard to even feel sensation sometimes. I’m working with a hormone specialist but I don’t just want HRT to be my only option. Anyone else in this stage of life and / or have gone through it with any supportive suggestions?

And a body that can tell the truth can stop performing. So many of us were trained to survive by going numb: to intellectualize, to overfunction, to be “strong,” to be palatable, to be good. Numbness is a strategy. What if you didn’t need that strategy ALL the time. Where in your body do you notice yourself going numb—or holding your breath—in daily life? When you reclaim the capacity to feel, you reclaim the capacity to choose. Experiencing ourselves at choice is a big chunk of the work here in the Pleasure Project. Erotic pleasure is purposeful, potent medicine. It sits at the crossroads of power, shame, belonging, and desire. It shows us where we clamp down, where we rush, where we barter our yes for approval. It also shows us that the body doesn’t just remember trauma, it remembers agency. It remembers what it feels like to be met, to be wanted without being used, to be in contact without being consumed. “Feeling” is the body’s way of speaking truth in a language older than logic. Boundaries. Consent. Timing. Truth. The Pleasure Project teaches new possibilities: - Safety without collapse - Aliveness without danger - Intimacy without self abandonment I am curious: what messages about pleasure have shaped your body’s capacity to receive? What might “receiving without apology” look like in your current season of life?

If you're here, you're ready for sex education that doesn't shy away from the explicit, the erotic, or the embodied truth of what pleasure actually looks like. This is not your high school health class. This is not sanitized, clinical, or polite. This is a space where we talk about sex—real sex. We discuss anatomy with accuracy and desire with honesty. We explore technique, sensation, orgasm, kink, communication, and everything in between. We use explicit language because pleasure deserves to be named clearly, without euphemism or shame. What That Means: This community is NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Content here will include: - Explicit discussions of sexual practices, techniques, and experiences - Anatomically correct language and imagery (educational, not pornographic) - Conversations about desire, arousal, orgasm, and erotic exploration - Questions and sharing that honor the full spectrum of human sexuality This is an adult learning space. You must be 18+ to participate. What We're Building Here: A community where pleasure is centered, consent is sacred, and sex education is rooted in liberation—not fear, not shame, not scarcity. Whether you're here to deepen your own erotic practice, learn skills to share with partners, or explore the somatic and psychological dimensions of sexuality, you're in the right place. We talk about the mechanics. We talk about the emotions. We talk about power, vulnerability, communication, and the revolutionary act of choosing pleasure in a world that tells us our bodies are wrong. Community Agreements: - Consent is everything. We ask before we share explicit content in comments or DMs. We respect boundaries. We honor each other's autonomy. - No unsolicited sexual advances. This is an educational space, not a dating or hookup platform. - Confidentiality matters. What's shared here stays here. Respect people's privacy and stories. - Curiosity over judgment. We're all here to learn. Ask questions. Share experiences. Hold space for perspectives different from your own. - Explicit ≠ Exploitative. We center pleasure and education, not objectification or harm.
