Pleasure Resources
Pleasure is a nutrient.
Pleasure 101 - Why bother with pleasure? Regina Thomashauer makes a compelling argument that the missing ingredient to life is turn-on. Not just sexual turn-on, but on all levels. Be prepared to check out your pussy with a mirror and listen to her guidance on all matters. Very fun and fundamental reading.

Taoist Sexual Cultivation / Jade Egg Practices - Chinese medicine has its roots in ancient Taoism. The Taoists were huge sexual experimenters - trying to find the secret to immortality in sublime sexual experience. They never did find immortality, but they came up with some very good stuff along the way. Jade egg practice is an ancient Taoist tool for women's solo sexual cultivation. In the Taoist way of looking at things, the women are the teachers of sexuality. In order to teach our partners, it is crucial that we know ourselves: our bodies, what gives us pleasure. Women are complex, and we are all different. Jade Egg practice is one way to strengthen our connection with our sexual selves, and increase sensitivity and blood flow which leads to more intense orgasm, and to strengthen our pelvic floor muscles in a way that leaves Kegels in the dust.

Tantra Sexual Cultivation - Tantra is rooted in the yogic tradition and like the Taoist practices, focuses on energy flow both within ourselves and with our partners. Plan on gazing into each other's eyes and exercises that strengthen communication and build intimacy. Tantra teaches things like yoni (vaginal/vulvar) massage and lingam (penis/testicles) massage. These are great ways to practice giving and receiving pleasure and disarming our inhibitions.
The Tantra Institute - Lauren and Karen are both friends of mine. You can tell them I sent you. They create a very safe and playful atmosphere.

OMGyes - This is the modern day Master's and Johnson. These pleasure researchers interviewed 2000 women ages 18-95 and recorded their techniques for self-pleasuring. They found various trends which they grouped into categories to be able to teach others. This site contains up-close and graphic videos of real women demonstrating their techniques, and it has a cool touch-sensor feature to allow the user to practice the technique to see if they get it. Be prepared to get very up close with a parade of pussies!
Not sure why we spend so much time on trigonometry in high school and not this. Its much more practical and useful! 😉
MissJaiya.com - Remember the five love languages? Jaiya is a sex therapist who teaches what could basically be thought of as the 5 sex languages. She calls them erotic blueprints.
With all of these practices, the guiding principle is FUN. Please, please, please if you ever notice that you are telling yourself.. I SHOULD... (do any of these practices) please stop immediately and get yourself to a good movie or restaurant. These are for fun and pleasure ONLY. No Shoulds.
