<h2><strong>Or, as I prefer to call it:<br />
May is Celebrate Solo Sex Month!</strong></h2>
<p>It all began in 1994 at a UN conference on AIDS, when Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders (the first African American <em>and</em> only the second woman to hold the position) was asked a question about promoting masturbation as a means of decreasing riskier behavior. She replied, &#8220;I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh, my! A hesitant advocacy for solo sex! For taking matters into your own hot little hands! For touching yourself, in that way, down there! What will our top health care proponent say next? Well, we don’t know because she was canned shortly thereafter for her cautious admission that sex with yourself is a normal part of being human. And for suggesting that it might be something we would want to encourage.</p>
<p>In response, the following year three feminist sex shops deemed May to be National Masturbation Month, 31 days of celebrating sex with yourself. It seems appropriate when everything is bursting and blooming.</p>
<p>And here it is 17 years later and where are we with promoting, advocating and celebrating masturbation? You would think with our current climate of abstinence-only fear-based sex education that we’d be encouraging our teens to self-pleasure. And teaching them how. After all, as Woody Allen so famously said, “At least it’s sex with someone I love”.</p>
<p>Yet since the definition of abstinence is unclear we don’t even know if most sex-ed programs for teens include solo-sex as an option, much less as a behavior that we encourage. The most common sexual behavior is still shameful, mocked and not celebrated or taught as the empowering self-loving, healthy act that it is. It doesn’t seem like we’ve made much progress!</p>
<p>However, at least on a personal level, you can reclaim you right to delicious self-pleasure right now! And all month! Are you being a fabulous lover to yourself? When was the last time you had a hot date with you? Perhaps you need to spice up your life with more solo-quickies! Whatever else you do, remember to take time this month for your pleasure. Dedicate a few orgasms to Jocelyn or your other heros and heroines of sexual liberation, including, I hope yourself! Go on, go play with yourself, all month long. And why stop there? You can celebrate self-love for your whole life!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I spend a lot of time thinking and writing about sex, particularly from my integral holistic perspective. I&#8217;m always trying to make my paradigm more clear, understandable and elegant. Here&#8217;s my latest version of what Wholistic Sexuality is. If you want to read the <a href="http://intimateartscenter.com/wholistic-sexuality">longer version</a>, it&#8217;s is in the library.</em></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4850" title="Rackham - Ring -Ecsatsy -resize" src="http://intimateartscenter.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Rackham-Ring-Ecsatsy-resize-241x300.jpg" alt="Arthur Rackham Illustration from The Ring" width="241" height="300" />Wholistic Sexuality</strong> is about connection. F<em>irst and foremost, your sexuality is about your connection with your Self — that’</em>s your primary relationship.</p>
<p><strong>Your Self </strong>includes all of you: body, mind, heart and spirit, past, present and future, genetics and environment — everything that makes you uniquely and completely you.</p>
<p><em><strong>Your sexuality</strong> is about who you are, not who you do (or don’t) have sex with.</em>Whatever you do or don’t do — you are a sexual being. Your sexuality is an inherent, inseparable and vital aspect of you.</p>
<p><strong>Wholistic Sexuality</strong> is about seeing the connection of all life. <em>Your sexuality connects you to everyone and everything. Your fundamental relationship to your self forms the foundation of all your other relationships.</em> Like a hologram, your sexuality is a microcosm that reflects and manifests everything from the personal to the planetary.</p>
<p><strong>Sex </strong>is one of the most powerful forces on the planet — it makes life! When you understand and respect that power you can channel it appropriately and responsibly, allowing you to connect with your ecstatic energy and its transformative potential.</p>
<p><strong>Wholistic Sexuality</strong> sees sex as something you learn, including your erotic capacities, abilities and responses. Like learning to play an instrument to make beautiful music, you can learn how to play your ‘instrument’ to become an erotic virtuoso.</p>
<p><em>Bliss is your birthright. </em>You were born with the natural capacity for extraordinary pleasure, abundant joy, and deep connection. <strong>Wholistic Sexuality</strong> is the map, the lessons and the guide to discovering, expanding and claiming your full sexual power.</p>
<p><strong>Wholistic Sexuality</strong> offers a vision of sex where it is normal, natural and inherently good, where we honor the miracle of life and revere the energy of Eros. When we respect the power of sex and learn to navigate its awesome energy everyone can connect with the sacred gift of e<em>cstasy</em>.</p>

I’m all for truly comprehensive sex education – I just want it for everyone. Adults need to learn, too!</p>
<p>In fact, from decades of teaching I can honestly say that sex is as much learned as it is natural. Just like learning to play a musical instrument, we can become erotic virtuosos. That why I’m writing another book that focuses on ‘Sex Ed for Grown-Ups’. Succulent  SexCraft—A Hands-On Guide to Erotic Play and Practice will give everyone the skills they need to have amazing sex and to feel great about their sexuality. You can help make this book happen by joining in to support it, while getting rewards of even more erotic education.</p>
