The Female Orgasm

May is such a sexy month.

A month of opening, of flowering, of attracting.

In our backyard, we have two massive and ancient apple trees. Right now they are a mass of delicate pink flowers, and if you stand near them, you become aware of an underlying humming. Looking up, you see hundreds of bees in a love-drunk dance, dizzy with the sweetness of apple blossom. Tree sex? Bee sex? I'm not sure. But I do know that the blooming flowers and the shining sun and the May Day celebrations can make me feel sexy indeed.

A little while ago, I came across this video on youtube. I have been wanting to share it with you, waiting for the right moment. The bees and the trees and the flowers outside tell me the moment is right.

In the video, Nicole Daedone, a researcher and lecturer who has dedicated her life's work to the practice of orgasm, talks about the importance of female orgasm. She sees many women in our culture who have deep, unsatisfied hungers, and she believes that orgasm is the answer.

I am all for having orgasms.

As I listened to Nicole talk about finding connection through orgasm, I realized she was talking about connecting to something greater than just our sexuality: she is talking about connecting to our feminine spirit. Women are hungry because we are disconnected from the essence of who we are. We are disconnected from our womanly bodies, and when we are disconnected from our bodies, we can't be connected to our feminine spirits. Attaining that connection, through orgasm or otherwise, will feed our deepest hungers.

I hope you can take the time to watch the video. In my May Day post I talked about reclaiming the sacredness of sexuality, so this post can be the next installment in that series. Let's reclaim the sacredness of our bodies, let's reclaim the beauty of sex, and let us find pleasure deep within ourselves.
