One day I sat down with the team at Erotic Living and I asked each of them what their stand-out experiences were at our Festivals.
What I really wanted to know was: why are they working with me? What is it that had made them so passionate about what we’re doing?
What was surprising was that they all said pretty much the same thing.
Erotic Living had provided them with opportunities to confront their limits.
For Ira, it was lying naked with three women while the audience poured wax over them;
For Sarah, it was confronting her shyness;
For Oliver, it was discovering the power of foot worship and anal penetration.
Their boundaries of consent were in each case respected, while they were taken to an emotional and physical place they hadn't been to before. And in that place something opened up and changed in them.
From listening to them, I learned that this is a large part of what our work is about. You can think of Living Erotically as a kind of Yoga, i.e., as an informed way of learning to expand our limits, without causing physical or emotional damage to ourselves or others. Such expansion, I believe, is deeply healthy.
