FREE Report: 7 Keys to Wake Up Your Sex Life Now and Forever
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” ― Anaïs Nin Anaïs Nin knew that love, sexuality, and creativity can lose their luster through erosion or neglect. The word “withering” suggests the need to pick
By Julia Corley, Passion and Presence™ facilitator. I’m involved with Passion & Presence couple retreats because I deeply believe that erotic pleasure is our birthright. Sex is natural, normal, and beautiful. At its essence, it can be a powerful path to connection with ourselves, our lovers, and the divine. Since I began to consciously know what sex was, it’s always seemed absurd to me that there’s
What is Mindful Sexuality and How Can We Access it? Mindful Sexuality is a philosophy, a practice, and a set of skills to cultivate curiosity, heartfullness and a spirit of erotic exploration. The traditional practice involves bringing gentle awareness to our immediate experience, which is an antidote to automaticity.

Nor is it always “smokin’ hot,” spontaneous or even satisfying. Real Life Sex is also filled
When I created our couples’ sexuality retreats, Halko and I assumed droves of growth-oriented pleasure-seekers would jump at the chance to use eroticism as their pathway to healing and transformation. It seemed evident that all those conjugal “roommates” out there (an estimated 20% of couples) would trip over themselves to establish a more vital erotic connection. I could see how our retreats would be just the
As a couple do you wonder how to model healthy sexuality to your children? There are many ways to educate our children about sex. One way is through our words and what we say about sex, but children learn even more enduring lessons by observing our behavior. Just as you learned about sex by observing how the people around you handled sexuality, your children are
Who said learning about sex had to be so deadly serious? You would think that learning about sex might feel, well…fun and sexy. Not so. As a trained sex therapist, I can relate to this statement: “It’s frightening how boring researchers can make an exciting subject.” That comes from the respected research psychoanalyst Paul Joannides, author of The Guide to Getting it On, one of
Are you the mother of young kids? Do you seem to have swapped desire for diapers? On becoming proud parents, you’ve seen some of your friends slip into the Not So Sexy Zone, or even the dreaded Sexless Zone, a zone from which few seem to ever fully return. You swore it would never happen to you, but here you are, elbow deep in diapers,
Susan Frioni hosts the podcast LOVE SEX DESIRE from Brisbane, Australia, where she also leads “sexy and soulful” Sacred Dance Parties. Attendees of her next event, themed “Resurrected,” are invited to consider “What part of you is aching to be brought back to life?” Although the dance is a great distance away, Frioni’s question lives very near to my heart.
