couple at workshop
Sean and Colleen recently spent a long weekend in Cancun, in an exploration of Slow Sex, a new path to intimacy. They joined other couples and Nicole Daedone, founder of OneTaste and originator of Orgasmic Meditation. Through exercises and mindful sexuality practices, they explored their desires together.

Can the power of intimacy free us to experience a deeper connection with others and ourselves? That question is explored freely every morning in a group setting, when the residents of OneTaste Urban Center meet for orgasmic meditation.  Women, eyes closed, lie unclothed from the waist down, while men –their “research partners” stroke them. In an approach with roots in Buddhist Tantric Sexuality, couples seek to extend the woman’s peak experience. OneTaste Urban teaches mindful sexuality to open and integrate experience. »

I am a regular here, as are many others. For the last month or so I have been seeing this man, he is dark brooding, perhaps five plus years older than me. We have an acknowledged glance as two downtown coffee lovers nothing more. »

Illustration by Adriana MunozAnd Opens Up the World

I had an orgasm today that made me genuinely wonder, have orgasms always felt that good? It was the first time in some time that I’ve had what I used to call a “sunny come”—when nothing is forced or raw-feeling or effortful. It’s not too abrupt. It’s not too delayed. There’s no fantasy or concentration. The sensations are more than pleasure, they’re pure happiness, like my body’s been flooded with mushroom honey. And I smile while it happens, feeling my bare chest dissolve in the sunlight of the room, the little sword bone between my breasts spreading like it’s turning to air. Laughing as he gasps at the grasping of my cunt. Forgetting anything that happens afterwards. »
altWhen I move my mouse over the squares, I'm reminded of what it's like to be awkward in a room full of strangers. At first, we all seem to move around warily. For a moment, I forget myself and get closer than I had intended. To my surprise, it feels good.. »

A VeryTogether Love Story
altSavage Scout rolled down the streets of Troy, New York, working out with her roller derby buddies. Ethan saw her on a corner and approached her, but she didn't really focus her energy on him and blew him off. That was the first intersection.

Weeks later, Juli, aka Savage Scout, was surfing a transgender dating website, looking for love in what turned out to be the right place. Ethan's profile stopped her in her tracks. She emailed him, confident, only to have the email returned, account expired. She didn't give up. She'd chosen. She started to network, tracing the artistic, academic, adorable man.  She contacted a friend who had recently written an article about Ethan in the local paper and got a live email. When he didn't get back to her immediately she kept trying. »
frisbee golfIt's almost spring - a great time to try a new sport. Frisbee golf, a synthesis of golf and frisbee, has spread across the country. It’s inexpensive, popular and easy to get into. All you need is a set of discs, a frisbee golf course or portable target, and about  90 minutes for a full 18 holes. Even without a real course, players naturally improvise targets as they play. "You can play as well as you can imagine. Believe it then see it," said Derek Robins, a world champion from England. »
