The Feminine Face of Orgasm
By Dianne Shepherd.
Are you craving ecstatic, sublime, spiritual and mystical experiences in sex and it’s just not happening?
You’re not alone.
And it’s not your fault.
If you’ve got a hunch that there’s more,
I applaud you!
And you’re spot on.
That hunch is your intuition talking.
And your intuition is always right 🙂
There is more.
So much more.
What we’ve got going on (for most people on the planet) is
a stunted understanding of what orgasm actually is.
Thanks to patriarchy, we only got half the story.
And we’re in dire need of a reframe.
Merriam Webster says orgasm is:
“the rapid pleasurable release of neuromuscular tensions at the height of sexual arousal that is usually
accompanied by the ejaculation of semen in the male and by vaginal contractions in the female.”
That’s all fine and good but this expression of orgasm (usually a very brief experience) leaves so many
women hungry for more.
Or leaves them thinking they’re just not orgasmic and there’s something wrong with them if they don’t
reach that peak of vaginal contractions we call climax.
Not only that, over time, (especially at midlife), this type of tension/release climatic orgasm becomes
exhausting.
Le petite mort ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.
It starts to feel kinda like a sugar crash.
What if your experience of orgasm could be far more nourishing, expansive, deep, lasting, psychedelic
even?
The kind of orgasm that stays with you for days.
The kind of orgasm that wakes up your true divine essence and brings out the Goddess in you.
The kind of orgasm that dials up your natural radiance and body confidence no matter what your age.
It’s totally possible.
But you have to be open to a reframe.
Our traditional understanding of orgasm is over polarized in the masculine or Yang principle.
It’s mechanical.
It’s goal orientated.
It’s performance driven.
It’s contracting.
It’s a finite game.
If you’re a woman who wants more, I want to welcome you to the Yin side.
The feminine face of orgasm.
Which is available to any human willing to cultivate it.
It’s a practice.
A great place to start is to simply get curious and be open to a reframe on orgasm.
Orgasm not as the destination, but the journey.
The journey home to the innocence and rapture of our sensuality.
Your body is sacred.
And sensual pleasure is the portal to
reclaiming that.
It’s a quiet practice.
A mindfulness practice.
A deep practice.
A tuning in to our internal experience.
And of letting go of striving and performing.
There’s no where to get.
But everywhere to be.
The feminine/Yin face of orgasm is creative life force.
It’s not the wave, it’s the ocean.
It’s infinite.
It heals.
It rejuvenates.
It transcends time and space and connects you to the divine within you.
When you tap into it, every cell in your body sings.
There’s nothing to chase.
Rather than “having an orgasm” you relax into the reality that you are, by design, ecstasy in the flesh.
You remember that you are love embodied.
It’s your birthright.
And it doesn’t just happen for a lucky few.
In fact it doesn’t “just happen” at all.
There’s nothing random about it.
It’s cultivated.
It’s a practice.
Just like with Yoga and meditation, you can cultivate a deeper, richer, more sustainable experience.
Instead of chasing an orgasm you remember (just like Dorothy and the ruby slippers) that you’ve been
powerfully orgasmic all along.
There’s no place like home.
