Sacred Smut & Somatic Myths: Threshold

A praxis of three: First, entering the cracks you’ve kept sealed (The Ache Takes You); then, letting desire rot through your skin, your moans splitting the walls of old cages (The Rotting of Desire); and finally, returning to your body’s wreckage, not healed but holy, not whole but alive (The Body Remains).

Bold sharp purpose: eco-erotic-sex-forestry meets meditation-erotica-fable
What am I circling here? (initial questions, desires, and themes)

Maybe craft a blueprint / an instructional scroll — one that borders (falls face first like the fool) into mythology! How to blend that with narrative care?! Tricky, given everyone has differing access paths and points. I want to invite erotic somatic action and noticing: basically it's a guided erotic myth-eco-sex-meditation: a solo erotic journey of inner child, the multiplicity of parts, the tending capabilities of autoerotic care.
My sweet friend Matt offered an incredible erotic guided meditation for a group of men we were hosting in erotic circle together. It has stayed with me since and I’ve been playing with ways to recreate that magic in my own form. Kota, my princess-daddy, crafts the most luscious of dreamscapes and takes me on somatically nurturing excursions with touch and words (take a peek over here). May their creations guide my heart.
I often enjoy erotic guidance, whether it’s the ASMR audio on Pornhub, Dipsea’s queer erotic storytelling, adventures of Quinn characters, breath journeys from Othership, or listening to my favorite authors drip their words into my ears... I enjoy using audiobooks of somatic practices as guiding meditations in my erotic solo adventures - most especially somatic IFS (Richard Schwartz), ritual & prayer (Jaiya John), and contemplative spirituality (Eckhart Tolle).
Too often, by the time I’ve made it through their trigger warnings and care disclaimers, I feel like they don’t trust me to hold myself. It’s as if they assume I must be shielded from my own ache. With this, I no longer want to be there. I have what it takes to meet my pain, to learn the fierce art of caring for myself. And I want a world where we guide one another into those ways of being, rather than shielding ourselves and others from the tender-fierce love that leads to growth. So I make these recordings for me.
