I joined a book club.
The book is called “ Taking Sexy Back” by Dr. Solomon, and Mark Groves at Create The Love is co-hosting. It’s a book club meant to be transformative for women.
Why did I join this book club?
Well, after a brutal divorce and my journey for growth, I found myself questioning a lot of things in life, mainly surrounding intimacy and sex. Today, I have chosen not to have mindless sex for a few reasons, and this book club couldn’t have come at a better time for me.
For the first time in my life, I am entering a non-judgmental space to see who we are as humans and how we can co-exist and relate. After my divorce, I find myself curious about increasing my sexual awareness of what my female partner may be going through, but also, so I can shift my view on sex and what it means to me.
This week, I am diving deep into the first few chapters, and the book is talking about the idea of looking at sex from a 30,000-foot view. So we can catch ourselves in judgment, and reframe the thoughts and beliefs we have around our sexuality.
I’ll be the first to admit that my view of sex has been rigid as a man. It was either as a way to manipulate and seek approval or mindless altogether. And that hurts knowing the truth. But that is why I am here today, to break open my scars and change the lens through which I view sex.
