Hello Luvs,
May is Masturbation Month.
And before you scroll past thinking this doesn't apply to you — stay with me for a second.
Because this isn't really about the act. It's about the radical, revolutionary, deeply underrated practice of tending to yourself.
We live in a world that has conditioned us — especially women, especially people of color, especially those of us who have spent years prioritizing everyone else — to treat our own pleasure like a luxury. Something we'll get to later. After the work is done. After the kids are settled. After the relationship is figured out. After the stress passes.
But here's what I know after 17 years of personal and professional work in holistic sexual wellness:
Pleasure is not a reward. It's a resource.
When you are disconnected from your own body — from your own desire, sensation, and capacity for joy — everything suffers. Your emotional regulation. Your communication. Your confidence. Your ability to receive love and give it freely.
Self-pleasure is not selfish. It is literally the practice of coming home to yourself.
What happens when you tend to your own pleasure:
Your nervous system settles. Cortisol — the stress hormone that has most of us running on fumes — drops. Oxytocin and dopamine rise. You sleep better. You're less reactive. You make clearer decisions. You show up in your relationships with more patience, more presence, and more of yourself to give.
This is not woo. This is biology.
And yet we treat it like something to be ashamed of, rushed through, or hidden. We don't invest in it. We don't prioritize it. We definitely don't talk about it.
I'm talking about it. Because somebody needs to.
A question worth sitting with this month:
When did you last do something purely for your own pleasure — with no agenda, no performance, no one else's needs at the center?
If you had to think about it for more than five seconds, this message is for you.
If you're ready to invest in your own pleasure practice:

Because you cannot pour from an empty vessel. And you cannot give what you haven't first allowed yourself to receive.
Your love. Your rules. Your freedom.
Organically yours,
Taylor
P.S. — If last week's email about emotional triggers resonated and you're ready to go deeper, I still have coaching spots open this month. A single 90-minute session might be exactly what you need to get clarity on where you are and where you want to go.
