Become a Patron!Your sexuality is an innate part of who we are. So many people suffer from lack of or misinformation about sex and sexuality though, and as a result suffer in silence and often for long periods of time – not knowing where to go to seek support and who to trust.
My non-coaches friends share why it is important that you reclaim your sexual relationship with yourself here:
| 1.) “Having an appreciation with my own sexuality makes me more independent, confident and ready to be in a relationship that is based on honesty and mutual respect. I am able to convey my needs and at the same time understand the other persons needs and find some common ground for each other, to grow more closer to one another. No pretences.” – Melissa, 31 |
| 2.) “Sexuality is an important part of being human. Denying that buries part of our true selves that is meant to be expressed and embraced. Healing the relationship with our own sexuality is essential to our happiness and health.” –Xinran, 28 |
| 3.) “Sexuality is a part of our nature, and it is important to honor and be aware of its presence and development within ourselves. Much of how we see ourselves sexually has been predefined by societal expectations and conditioning. With exploration and more awareness, we can connect to who we are sexually, and have more freedom from stereotypes and labels. Our freedom comes from honouring and accepting who we are, regardless of how the world views us.” – Zoey, 39 |
| 4.) “Sexuality is a symbol of our being and acceptance of who we are inside. To be able love freely without fear not condemnation from oneself is the greatest freedom” – Lisa, 45 |
| 5.) I think sexuality is important because it is in a way linked to our own self expression and our appreciation for ourselves. I think to reclaim it is to take back the power that has been lost to us. And it’s also a way for us to go back into the knowing the sexuality is a part of us and it should be accepted and loved for what it is without judgement. – D, 24 |
| 6.) Acceptance and understanding on our own sexuality is critical to our own mental health and also to our relationship. Speaking from a failed marriage, my previous partner appeared to be in denial of her sexuality which caused our marriage then to break. While I had tried to support and also going with her to various support groups, it was a challenge as she was always in denial. Now as our marriage has ended, I have started a new healthy relationship with my current partner, and I have an open communciation with her on not just our likes/dislikes, but also connecting mentally which makes our sexuality more passionate and closer. – Sebastian |
