Listening

Deciding to move towards erotic and personal freedom takes determination, courage and contribution. There are many sexuality workshops on offer these days, so itʼs easier to break out of self-imposed restraints and find supporters on the journey. Encouragement, well-held listening spaces, and a willingness to share allow us to be vulnerable. Listening to others as they reveal secrets, trauma, fantasy, longing and disappointment is a privilege. Openness increases our compassion and connection in the collective struggle. Offering space and silence without unsolicited feedback, questioning, opinion or fixing allows us to be present without being pulled in. For hesitant words to form with air to breathe. When weʼre not responsible for someone elseʼs outcome or orgasm, we have a chance to bear witness.
