Destructive belief systems are taught to us at a young age by family, culture and institutions - and combine with our own experiences of pleasure and suffering around sex. The world around us tells us how to feel about ourselves sexually, and oftentimes shame, fear and anxiety are the result. “Gay sex is wrong.” “You don’t deserve this.” “You are a slut.” How can you move through these strong, negative belief systems? Fantasy. Fantasy is the vehicle for us to move from inhibition into action. It allows us to see ourselves in different ways. It is live mythology, a symbolic narrative that brings our personal wounds into a space of embodied pleasure. What if we could create peak experiences MORE OFTEN, by consciously engaging with our fantasies and reading them as a map that can take us more deeply into our own needs, wants, and desires? We can, and, ultimately, this leads us towards more fulfillment, sustainability, and creativity.
