I woke up this morning, an American living in Canada, and immediately checked my phone.
The first thing I saw was a text from a friend sharing a link to election results. She’s the most anti-politics person I know, so I knew if she was sending me something about the US election, it was big.
It was big (and quite girthy actually) – it was an explicit pic hidden behind a fake link. I laughed out loud (she and I share the same sense of humor), grateful for the mood lift.
Of course, I immediately went next to the real results. After seeing that Trump won, I groaned and immediately closed out the page. I sent the explicit pic to five other friends who also share my sense of humor and went on with my morning.
It seemed like the only move to make to bring some lightness to the heaviness.
So what does yesterday’s election have to do with finding love in a world that seems to have forgotten how to do it?
Oddly, a lot.
Most people can look at Trump and tell that there is something not quite right about him. When I look at him through my eyes as a somatic intimacy coach, I can see that he has never had the experience of giving or receiving love.
I can tell from his defensive posture that he has trouble letting people in.
I see from his self-aggrandizement that he is terrified of being perceived as weak.
And from the way his current wife, Melaina, only shows up in public with him when he pays her $250,000, it’s clear that the sparks in the bedroom just aren’t happening.
So what can we learn from this?
We have the power to create the world we want to live in.
As in YOU have the power to create the world you want to live in.
If you’re on this list, you probably want to live in a world that dances wildly at the intersection of the s*xual and the spiritual.
So let’s go.
Just like that explicit pic lightened things up for me this morning, I’ll share something to lift the mood and share why it’s so important to double down on your investment in love…perhaps more than ever.
Three things Trump teaches us about how (not) to be an epic lover
- We are obsessed with being told what to do (so just get kinky with it). No matter what Trump says, every time he opens his mouth, people listen. Here’s what I’ve learned from BDSM – people get turned on by being told what to do. If this kind of power play has such an erotic charge, why not just buy a collar and leash and hand it over to your lover for a night? It would save the world a lot of hassle if you work that out in the bedroom.
- People who are amazing at what they do rarely have to tell you about it (so don’t believe the hype, whether it’s from a politician or a date). The best lovers I’ve ever had have been understated, often overlooked (learn about one such lover in our free workshop on Tuesday, Becoming a Mythic Lover). But get them into the bedroom and 🔥🔥🔥. If someone brags nonstop, they’re trying to prove something. But the ones who can bring it…they just bring it.
- Vitriol is easy and widespread (on dating apps and the news), but love is as precious as a diamond. It’s easy to spew hatred. It’s easy to blame. It’s easy to never take accountability for the way you have hurt people. But are you really about that…or you looking to be the kind of person who leaves a different kind of legacy? If so, it’s time to get to work to create a world that softens to love (Our Mythic Love journey, anyone?).
If you really want to see a different world, the change starts at ground zero – you. It starts by looking at yourself in the mirror long enough until you genuinely like what you see there. It starts by choosing to be the kind of person who leaves a legacy of love instead of division.
