Feeling Myself : Discovering Erotic Interoception Speaking of Sex with The Pleasure Mechanics

Interoception is known as the “eighth sensory nervous system” of humans – and is perhaps the most important sense that you’ve never heard of!







Interoception is our human ability to feel the insides of our own bodies, thanks to the vast network of internal nerve receptors found throughout our internal body but especially concentrated around our heart and lungs, guts and pelvis. These internal nerve endings communicate vital information to us all day long.







How do you know when you have to use the bathroom? How do you know when you are hungry? Interoception!







But interoception is ALSO responsible for telling us how we FEEL. How do you know when you are angry? How do you know when you WANT something? Interoception!







In this episode we introduce you this incredible super power you already possess and share why interoception is a key erotic skill to develop.







We are sharing our favorite #PleasurePractices in our membership community, The Pleasure Pod.







Join us for guided solo & partnered explorations to help you develop your capacity for erotic pleasure!
