=== shared from someone I follow on Fb. I resonate a lot with this. What are your thoughts? === Quote> 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟏𝟏 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐱, 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 About 15 years ago, I became single after a two-decade marriage. I stepped out into the dating world with one goal... to learn myself. Not just in a surface-level, “What do I like in a partner?” kind of way, but in the deepest, rawest sense. I wanted to learn about my sensuality. My sexuality. My orgasm. What turned me on. What turned me off. What it even meant to feel fully expressed as a woman, as a sexual being. And so, I explored. I moved through relationships, through moments, through desire. In the years that followed, I engaged in integrity-based open relating, meaning that every connection I formed was rooted in honesty, consent, and mutual respect. I had eleven lovers during that time. I was having tons of sex, more than I had ever had in my life—and I was learning exactly what I had set out to learn. But here’s what I didn’t expect; the most profound lessons weren’t just about my body, my pleasure, or even my attraction to others. The real awakening was about energy. About power. About creation. I started to see sex differently, not just as an act between two people but as an exchange of energy, a reflection of self, and a spiritual force that goes far beyond the bedroom. Some relationships revealed their energetic dynamics instantly, while others took months, even years, for me to understand why they had entered my life. Sex, as I had been taught to understand it, was too small a concept. It had been boxed into pleasure, performance, and physicality. But true sex positivity isn’t just about having more sex, it’s about understanding the energy behind it. It’s about recognizing how sex influences, creates, and transforms. In today’s world, the phrase “sex-positive” has been hijacked to mean “do whatever you want, as much as you want, with whoever you want.” It’s often portrayed as a movement that encourages sexual freedom through sheer volume. more partners, fewer inhibitions, complete detachment from deeper meaning.
