Order Your SEX GEEK Tee HERE!

Interesting geek factoid: The ink used to make these shirts is known as Discharge Ink (I know, sounds dirty, don’t it!). Discharge Ink is a heat-activated, bleach-laden ink that “discharges” the shirt’s dye coloring when heated above a certain temperature. Why is Discharge Ink so cool? It’s cool because, after your shirt’s first washing, there’s no ink left on your shirt! The SEX GEEK design is just the cloth sans it’s dye, which means it’ll never crack or fade ever! It’s more expensive to have done this way, but totally worth it. Neat, huh!?! Why do I know this? I worked at a tee-shirt printing shop waaaaayback in my art school college to pay for tuition, so inks and dyes and making kick-ass tee-shirts is something I find quite cool. Hope you enjoy your SEX GEEK tee!

Missed Part 1? Want to take Part 2? Look no further…

Join sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com and Divine Interludes’ Monique Darling in San Diego, California, for a mini, 3-hour “make-up” practicum Part-1 so you can take the 6-hour Part-2 practicum the next day!

For those of you who want to take Part-2 and need to take Part-1, or are looking to review Part-1… You’re prayers have been answered!

Friday, May 18, 2012 from 7:00 PM to 10 PM (PT)
To register : Tickets Here

Participation in Part-1 Full Practicum,
Part-1 Mini-Practicum (or equivalent)
Required to participate in Part 2

This mini-practicum, designed to “get you up to speed” for Part-2 will cover all the basic content of the original 6-hour, Part-1 intensive, but with much less personal exploration and attention, and fewer exercises.

In this 3-hour, “make-up” intensive designed to prepare your skills and get you up to speed for the 6-hour Part-2 happening the next day, you will:

• Learn Reid’s underlying principles and approaches to playing with energy from the sexual to the sublime
• Be shown Monique’s tools, tips and tricks for unlocking your stuck sexual energy and turning life into an orgasmic playground that doesn’t have to look anything like “sex”…
• Learn to get in touch with your own energetic field, manipulate it, and turn it into a powerful source of connection and bliss.
• Discover how and where to touch another to tune into, access, tease and play with their erotic energy, the energy of two people, or the energy of a entire group!
• Tap into the energy of all 7 major chakra’s by yourself, with a partner, or in a group
• Discover the differences in “taste” between energetic orgasms from chakra to chakra
• Be given techniques to keep your energy “clean” and ways not to be “clingy” or “creepy” with your energy.
• Understand how to take care of your physical body when your orgasmic body doesn’t want to stop and keeps moving more and more ecstatic energy!

Expand the range of your sexual experience AND your ability to articulate it to “muggles” who’ve never felt their kundalini twitch or tapped into their own ecstatic potential!

With all the focus on holistic practices to weave the body, mind and soul, it’s rare anyone actually talks about the nuts and bolts of sex and how they apply to our various practices.

In training our bodies, disciplining our minds, and expanding our hearts, you’ve probably had teachers adjust our hip angle, make note of your breathing, or give you an illuminating tip on how to navigate your mind. With all the emphasis on holistic approaches and integration in our spiritual pursuits all too often no one talks pragmatically about the nuts and bolts of sex and lovemaking!

We’ve all experienced how a slight change of a few degrees in one area of the body can open up other areas tremendously. Don’t you think it’s about time someone showed you what adjustments you should be making during energetic play?

Areas that will be covered:

• The top five things your yoga or tantra teacher probably never told you about sex and love
• The ergonomics of dynamic sex and what the Kama Sutra isn’t showing you…
• Three ways to increase orgasmic energy that have nothing to do with breathing
• How to give oral sex that would calm Kali or have Govinda consider settling down!
• Dating, sex and relationships as a spiritual practice

This part of the workshop is Rated-PG13/R, will feature frank (and humorous!) language, fully-clothed demonstrations, and participation is not required. Please bring all your questions and a notebook!

Bring a partner, find a partner there, switch partners, or experience the course on your own. Many options will be offered to support each individual experience.

It’s what you’re not saying that’s destroying your relationships…

The plain truth of intimacy is this: It’s what we’re not saying in our relationships that’s slowly killing them. Withholding the important and even the trivial, over time, fosters resentment and mistrust, eroding intimacy. And it’s not just the negative stuff that we don’t say that’s detrimental; withheld acknowledgements and appreciations are just as toxic to the health of intimacy and connection as withheld frustrations and upsets.

Men and women should be talking about the scary stuff and sharing the things that they are afraid will end the relationship. Until we do that, we’re spending our relationship lives “walking on eggshells,” and it’s my belief that risking ending a relationship by being honest and transparent leads to a more fulfilling life than “not rocking the boat” for 5, 10, 20 or more years.

If sharing with a loved one your scariest and most shameful wants, fears and desires ends the relationship, I think you’re both better off in the long run. How many people do you know who “stuck it out” only to arrive at the end of their lives with a boat load of regrets, resentment and disappointing “I wish I’d _________ when I was younger” to show for it? Of the ones who did stick it out and were the better for it, I’d wager that they were more honest and transparent in their relationships.

A Case for Transparency

If you share the things you think might end the relationship and the relationship doesn’t end, now you’re having a Relationship with a Capital R! Sure it’s scary to say the scary things, and it’s bound to kick up a lot of emotional flotsam at times, but what if you and your partners could work through it? What if letting the “cat out of the bag” built more trust and a deeper sense of security and intimacy than wondering if your partner is withholding important things from you?

When you say what is not being said, especially the big, bad, hairy, scary stuff, you model for your loved ones that they can share all the things they’re not saying, too. Over time, you get to know your partners more, they get to know you more, and you’ll realize that they’re choosing to be in a relationship with the real you, not some façade of who you think they need you to be.

Granted, it’s no bed of roses starting the process of transparency, but once you begin to exercise your “what’s not being said” muscles, having difficult conversations become so much easier and, pretty soon, you’re living a life where you’ve got nothing to hide from those you care about. You and your loved ones have begun to release all the energy it once took to hide those bits and facets of yourselves. This freed up energy and bandwidth are now yours to express in the world and in your relationships!

Reid’s “Say What’s Not Being Said” Difficult Conversation Formula

Many people don’t know how to initiate a Difficult Conversation because no one ever taught them how. I recommend this “formula” for sharing concisely and responsibly what it is you’re not saying. Thousands of men and women I’ve worked with, coached or lectured to over the years have found this “script” invaluable.

Use Step 1 to gain clarity on what you’re not saying and to whom in your world, why you’re not saying it, and what you’d like to gain by saying it. Then use the script in Step 2 to make initiating a difficult conversation easier.

The script in Step 2 allows you to build context and communicate your intentions while allowing you to share what it is that you’ve been withholding. I’ve actually had coaching clients print out and read directly off the paper, and you can too! Remember, it’s that you initiated the conversation which begins to make all the difference. If you’re waiting for the “right time” to start the conversation and you’ve been waiting more than 3-days, I assert that the “right time” may never come and you should grab your handy script and give it a go.

In another post I’ll talk about how to handle situations when saying what your not saying catches your partners by surprise and they don’t handle the new information well.

Best of luck and let me know how the “Say What’s Not Being Said” Difficult Conversation Formula works for you!

Step 1

Step 1: Find some time alone and write down the answers to the following questions, in the order they appear… Just write for 3-5 minutes on each question, non-stop. Try to keep the pen moving or your fingers typing for the full 3-5 minutes. Write all the crap swirling around in your head and get it on paper or a computer screen. If you get stuck, write: “I’m stuck. I can’t think of anything…” until your brain unsticks itself. Keep moving!

A. What I’m not saying to ___(my partner, my boss, the hottie at the bar)__ is ___________________.

B. What I’m afraid might happen if I say it is ___(Remember, you’re brainstorming! Your list can’t be too long! The longer the better!)___.

C. What I’d like to have happen by saying this is ___(Write down all the positive things you can think of!)____.

Step 2

Step 2:  Cut and paste your answers into this this script below which will be the script that you can memorize or read from when you talk to so and so. It can also be the script that you use to email them, etc.:

Dear ___(partner, boss, hottie at the bar)__, there are some things I’ve not been saying to you.  I’m not saying them/haven’t been able to say them, because I’m afraid the following might happen:

• (Answers from B here)
• (Answers from B here)
• (Answers from B here)

What I would like to have happen by my telling you is:

• (Answers from C here)
• (Answers from C here)
• (Answers from C here)

And what I’m not telling you is (Answer from A here).

Thank you for listening. What, if anything, would you like to share?

An Example…

Here’s an example of a Difficult Conversation Formula Script all filled in with a situation which, unfortunately, might be all too common these days…

“Dear partner, there are some things I’ve not been saying to you.  I’m not saying them, because I’m afraid the following might happen:

• You will lose all respect for me
• You’ll divorce and leave me
• You will take the kids away and I will never see them again
• You will never forgive me and I’ll have no chance of rebuilding your trust in me

What I would like to have happen by my telling you is:

• For you to know that I would never lie to you and that you trust me more
• That when I lie or hide something from you, I’ll try to come clean as quickly as I can
• That we reach a deeper level of love, trust and intimacy in our relationship
• That we role model for our children that it’s possible to make it through tough times

And what I’m not telling you is I was let go from my job a week ago and I was too afraid and ashamed to tell you and I’ve been spending my days at Starbucks applying for jobs without much success yet.

Thank you for listening. What, if anything, would you like to share?”

Explore Kundalini, the “Tantric Twitchies” and Vibrational Luvin’ Without the Woo-Woo! (with live Demos, too)

Remember that Cosmo magazine article that talked about how Tantra and breathing could give you explosive orgasms? How about the urban legend about Sting having sex for eight hour stints?

Regardless of your tolerance for words like “chakras” and “yoni,” there is a non New Agey way to understanding and incorporating ecstatic experiences into your bedroom routine that is fun, easy, and explosive.

If you or a lover have ever experienced post-orgasmic spasms or “twitches” after lovemaking, or feelings of heat and tension in your lower back, hands, neck or throat… You might be more energetic in your sex life than you think! And if you’ve never experienced those things but would like to, you might be pleasantly surprised how easily energetic sex is to grasp and play with.

Reid demonstrating energetic orgasms and what he calls “Tantric Twitchies” (Kriyas)

Join sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for an evening of frank, fun, and electrifying learning targeted for folks who aren’t New Agey. Reid promises to drop the woo-woo and leave his Sandskrit-to-English dictionary at home! And, for those of you who say Namasté instead of “thank you,” Reid’s got you covered, too!

You will be introduced to:

• Reid’s particular views on how sexual energy “behaves” and how it “works,” as well as ways you can begin accessing more energetic awareness in the bedroom
• What Kriyas (“the twitchys”) can look like and what to do when you or a lover experiences them
• Three possible approaches for engaging sexual energy and expanding it when exploring energetic sex with a partner or solo with yourself
• What playing a singing saw has to do with energetic sex and expanding your lovemaking
• Simple breathing and “presence” techniques to build up energetic awareness
• How to use “pressure play” and where so you can help unlock and activate points on your lover’s body to augment energetic experiences during love making
• A few advance tips and tricks that will make you smile and your partner moan regardless of whether “the twitchys” happen or not!

Whatever your level of experience with sex that seems to be “more than just sex,” Reid’s humorous and informative instruction, sex education, and live demonstrations on this esoteric (and yet more common than you think) realm of energetic sex is not to be missed!

It’s no April Fools Joke, Sex Geeks! Do not miss this weekend!!!

Former US Surgeon General, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Joins MOMENTUM’s Closing Keynote Plenary. But wait! That’s not all…

Do you love conferences filled with smart, sexy people? Dying for some social networking that’s in the flesh? Wondering how best to get your sex geek on this coming April?

If you’re looking for a weekend full of tech, feminism and all things sex geek, then I’d consider checking out D.C.’s Momentum Conference. Why? Well, for one reason, it’s where I’ll be!

The phenomenal growth of online communication has given rise to an amazing amount of sharing, learning and experimenting with different expressions of sexuality, relationships and feminism. MOMENTUM provides a safe place to listen, discuss and learn about sexualities and gender without the fear of reprisal or shaming. It is a space for acceptance and appreciation of diversity, including for those in the LGBTQ, sex-work, BDSM and non-monogamous communities.

During MOMENTUM we will discuss ways to bridge the baffling dichotomies our culture creates around sexuality. While on one hand we have unprecedented sexual freedom, on the other we continue to police sexuality with a frightening vigor. Abortion laws, restrictions on gay marriage, abstinence programs, medicalization of sex, fear of pornography and prosecutions for teenage sexting are examples of one side of the spectrum. The discomfort that strives to make us keep our sexuality hidden conflicts with the use of sex — especially the female body — to sell everything from food to cars to “performance enhancing” products.

Geared toward anyone interested in intelligent conversations about the influence of new media on sexuality, MOMENTUM is the conference to attend in 2012. With more than 50 presenters, among them  Reid Mihalko, Esther Perel, Megan Andelloux, Dr. Logan Levkoff, Audacia Ray, Bill Taverner, Dr. Charlie Glickman, Maria Falzone, Dr. Lynn Comella, Twanna A. Hines, Dr. Carol Queen, Abiola Abrams, Chloe Angyal, Francisco Ramirez, and Rachel Kramer Bussel, , and over 40 sessions covering a wide range of viewpoints on sexuality, MOMENTUM’s jam-packed program had something of interest to everyone. Our Friday evening opening keynote plenary panel is preceded by our signature free Ice Cream Sundae Meet & Greet and Saturday evening entertainment includes a Cinekink screening, Dirty Bingo with Ducky Doolittle and a Bedpost Confessions reading.

Each participant will leave the conference with new perspectives, new connections, and a plan to carry the MOMENTUM forward into 2012 and beyond!

• Plan your Sex Geek weekend with Reid and the rest of the Sex Geeks!
• Check out our schedule with 40 amazing sessions and entertainment

The second annual MOMENTUM Conference takes place

Plays Well With Others: Negotiating Relationship Boundaries and Agreements for Group Sexploration!

Navigating group sexual dynamics in any relationship takes skill, patience and a little bit of luck. If “luck” is where opportunity and preparation meet, then learning how to negotiate sound relationship boundaries and agreements is a sure-fire way to make the two, or three, or four of you the luckiest people on Earth!

With the dizzying array of relationship options available to people who’ve decided to “play well with others,” how do you, and your partner or partners (if you’ve got any), figure out what will work best? What is open to renegotiation? And what do you do when the inevitable challenges arise or when someone makes a bad call?

Join sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for a two-hour workshop devoted to single people, couples, and multiple partners who want to learn how to create workable boundaries and agreements for playing sexually with others simultaneously.

In this humorous, interactive evening, you will learn:

• The most common pitfalls of relationship agreements for group sex and how to avoid them
• How to figure out what a boundary is and where your boundaries exist, so all involved can negotiate a win-win!
• How and when to renegotiate an existing rule or agreement
• Negotiating techniques for when you’re the single person joining in with a couple or moresome
• How to merge different styles of “sexploration” in monogamy and nonmonagamy so that everyone has a decent chance of ending up happy “the day after”
• Five essential things that will help you survive any group sexploration
• How to work through upsets in ways that will make your relationships stronger

This workshop is open to couples and singles and moresomes of all sexual orientations and relationship statuses.

Whatever you level of experience and curiosity, whatever your relationship status or orientation, Reid promises an informative evening chocked-full of great communication and relationship skills!
