To Connect Deeply, We Need Sexual Authenticity

Our true erotic selves hold the key to long-term passion.

“Just be yourself,” the age-old dating advice goes.

And as frustrating as it can be to hear, it makes sense.

Building a relationship with someone from an inauthentic place is a recipe for failure long term. Eventually, you’re bound to get tired of putting on an act.

The same thing goes for sex.

Without knowing your authentic sexual self, it’s easy to end up erotically exhausted.

If you’re maintaining a performance that isn’t true to your actual needs and desires in the bedroom, your energy will quickly drain — with your relationship’s energy soon to follow.

By contrast, knowing and acting from a place of sexual authenticity ensures not only that your deepest desires become reality, but also that you have an endless source of erotic inspiration.

Let’s talk about it.
