HOME PLAY ASSIGNMENTS
Expand and Use Your Pleasure List
This expands on last week’s guidance:
- Make a list of things that you can do for (and with) yourself that give you pleasure. Include things that you can do in a few minutes, that require a medium chunk of time, and that need a leisurely time span. Include things that are free (although luxuries that cost money are okay, too).
- Put your list where you’ll see it. Add to it as you discover new ways to nurture, love and pleasure yourself.
- Take regular pleasure breaks during your day and do something on your list. Or, start your day by doing something that makes you feel good and happy. Conclude your evening with another pleasurable action or activity.
Suggestions: Sing a song. Make a piece of art. Read. Stretch. Dance. Have orgasms. Do orgasmic breathing. Take a hot scented bath by candlelight. Listen to the birds. Pat your pet (your four-footed one, not your genital one). Drink water. Get and give massage. Take three deep slow breaths. Listen to music. Take a walk in nature. Chocolate! Mangos!
Don’t limit yourself to this list—do what brings you pleasure.
Make pleasure a habit. And a practice.
Experiment with SexCraft Practices
- Review your SexCraft toolkit
- Pelvic Floor Play Practices
- Play with conducting your erotic energy orchestra
- Do SexCraft Solo Practices
- Do SexCraft Partner Practices (if you have a partner and want to do them)
Engage in a “No Desertification” Program
- Keep your yoni clean and dry. Daily washing with water only. Dry with a hairdryer on the cool setting so it’s really super dry. Then apply your topical yoni balm or, if you don;t have anything else some coconut oil.
- Make or purchase some kind of yoni balm and apply it 3-4 times/day.
- Drink oatstraw infusion, ideally 3-4 cups/day.
- Continue (or begin) daily sexual self-pleasure involving a minimum of 10 minutes of arousal, with optional orgasms.
