When The Women Gather to Talk Sex - Magic Happens!

Men talk sex in the locker room - Women talk everywhere!

Women like to talk - and a lot of women that I know - like to talk about sex. We talk about whether we are having it - wanting it, bored with it and what to do to make it better. Men may talk in the locker room about sex - but the women I know talk about sex almost everywhere. Sometimes it is on the phone in the privacy of our own kitchens - and other times we can look like a scene from "Sex in The City" and can have a no holds bar discussion quite loudly in a restaurant over Cosmos.

What I like the best - is when I am able to intentionally gather with other women to talk about sexuality. When we gather together with a set intention to talk with other women about sex - it creates a special container - some have even described it as sacred. Because it is understood that what is said in the circle stays in the circle.

Gathering with other women in an intentional space often helps us feel safe in our desires - and we are able to listen and share with our female friends as a way of "checking in" to know that we are not alone in whatever we are feeling around our sexuality. Talking with other women is also a way of learning - yes - women do get sex tips from other women.

And it doesn't matter that what we are feeling changes with our age, and where we are on the path of life from a newly wed to a peri-menopausal woman - the circle of women friends remains a constant source of comfort, inspiration, and barametor of what we are going through sexually ourselves.What I have learned about most women is that they are willing to go deeply into exploring their sexuality as long as they feel safe. A woman's circle is a great place to create that place of safety - so how do you find a woman's sexuality circle or create a woman's gathering?

One easy - and fun way to experiement about talking with sex with other women is to host a Pure Romance Party for your friends. Yes - I am talking about one of those parties...where the consultant comes in and brings the toys, the games and the fun - and a little how to experience. You don't have to run the show - you just invite the friends. Your job can be to mix up a pitcher of sangeria and put out the chips - and let the good times roll. It's a wonderful and way way to gather and talk about sex - a way to get the girls together to talk about something so central to our lives - our sexuality.

These types are parties not only "juice us up" sexually by pumping up the fun of exploration in a safe container (a woman's circle) - but it also allows us to create the space to talk about what is going on in our sexual lives if we choose.

Anything can happen when the women gather.....I think it where we can really have the opportunity to be shameless!
