The Resilient Edge of Resistance is a concept that guides how we approach massage, erotic touch and even relationships!
The Resilient Edge of Resistance is all about finding that magical place of “just right” – in touch, in sex, in love. It means using not too much force and not too little, offering full support without smothering, being fully present without being overbearing. When you find that place of “just right” so much opens up – more pleasure, more arousal, more connection, more responsiveness to your partner’s changing needs.
In this episode we talk about how to develop the skill of finding and riding the resilient edge of resistance, and how to apply it in every day life, in and out of the bedroom.
The Resilient Edge of Resistance is a concept we inherited from our amazing teacher, Chester Mainard. Chester was a pioneer of erotic touch, gay spirituality and the creator of the anal massage techniques we teach. After a few profound years as Chester’s student and then co-teacher, Chris lived with Chester for 9 months as he died of brain cancer. Chester’s work continues to live through our teachings, and those of so many of his other students.

Arousal is not something that happens TO you – it is something that YOU generate. Your arousal is your own – so OWN IT!
In this episode we explore the nature of sexual arousal, and why we all need to stop waiting around hoping to get turned on! Arousal is an internal process that we can develop, learn how to pay attention to, and practice on purpose!
We offer you a three step process for owning your arousal. First, you learn how to pay attention to arousal using the super power of interoception. Then, you map how your arousal system works – what arouses you and what happens when you get aroused? Third, you learn how to cultivate arousal and then put it to use as fuel for your life and creative purpose! But for all of us, this magical process starts by learning how to first pay attention to arousal and then feel less shame and judgment about that arousal. These are the skills we work on in the Mindful Sex course and throughout our work and relationships – how can we get rid of the sexual shame and fear so we can cultivate and use sexual arousal as the clean burning fuel it can be?

What would it mean to bring more reverence, awe and wonder to the bedroom? What does it mean to worship the genitals rather than degrade them? What are the implications of bringing more reverence to sexuality? We explore all this and more in this heartful episode.
First, we explore the standard definitions of cock worship, pussy worship and body worship. Then we talk about what we can all learn from bringing elements of worship into the bedroom (no matter what your spiritual inclinations or what your faith looks like)
Tune in to reflect on the power and potential of exploring reverent sex!
