of Self Pleasure
Bringing self-love out of the shame closet
Beware: You’re only supposed to do this in private.
Welcome to Self-Pleasure Stories, a unique anonymous forum to capture your experience with masturbation.
Whether you call it wanking, fapping, jerking off, playing with yourself, self-abuse (lord, I hope you don’t call it that), telling your story of masturbation is a way to release yourself from shame and move yourself into pleasure.
Out of the Shame Closet
The act of self-love has too long been relegated to the spaces behind closed doors and under sheets, but what it holds is an offer of self-awareness.
Yes, your masturbation practice can lead to self-awareness.
Here’s why: When you learn what makes your body shiver and shake, you can more easily communicate your desires to a partner. And when you know how to ask for what you want in bed, you’ll be more able to ask for what you want in all parts of life.
So let’s take this act of self-pleasure out of the shame closet. Share the story of how you self-pleasure using the form below, anonymously or not. The simple act of allowing yourself to be witnessed in this usually secret space might be the most liberating thing you’ve done all year.
Why I Want to Know
One of my greatest pleasures in life is the ability to support people to rewrite what feels shameful into a story of their personal legend.
My aim in collecting these stories of self-pleasure is to offer anonymous coaching on my blog and social media around the value of intentional self-pleasure. Your story will in no way be matched to you as an individual (unless you directly tell me that’s what you want).
Hot tip: I’m looking for three volunteers who want to learn how to develop a deeper relationship with self-love that honors your body as the temple of pleasure it is. Sign up in the second form below.
Using the Form
Below, there are TWO forms. The first, is completely anonymous (if you want it to be.) The second, allows you to volunteer to learn how to develop a deeper relationship with self-love that honors your body as the temple of pleasure it is.
All questions are optional. Even if you submit your email address using the second form to volunteer, your identifying information will not be paired with your survey responses.

The Wisdom of Being Seen
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from 20 years of work as an intuitive, it’s that most of us are desperate to be seen. To be seen – a metaphor for being understood, accepted, cherished, and valued exactly as you are. For the honorable parts and the quirks. The...
Naked and Alone with a Man: A Story of Power
“Whatever you’re doing, it’s working.” These were the recent words from a healer, a man who met me at my lowest point and, both by proxy and direct intervention, helped me access a state of vitality I'd not felt in years. I found him in winter 2021. It was the height...
Don’t Stop Me Now: The Erotic and the Power of a Healthy Nervous System
When it comes to healing, the way up isn’t always down. I’m speaking in terms of the nervous system, of course. And I’m speaking to the multitude of teachings that focus on attuning to calm as the definition of healing. What I’m saying is that true nervous system...
