Reclaim Your Female Joy

Welcome to our world, a Blissful world, an ecstatic world. Do you live in ecstasy? Or, do you wonder where all the joy has gone? Of course I'm talking about the joy of love, romance and sex!

In the past, dysfunction described, and to a large extent, still describes our societies attitude about sex. This created a closed-door, fearful and sometimes shameful attitude which has kept many people, especially women, from learning about their own sexuality, as well as the sexual needs of their partner. Many turn to the mass media to teach them about sex, so how do you think that's working? Is it working for you? Or, do you desire to know more?

I'm glad to say our society is undergoing a positive, cultural shift toward openness and honesty when it comes to discussing sex. We're slowly evolving into a sex-positive culture, and Blissful Lotus is honored to be part of this dynamic movement by helping women (and their partners) explore sexual solutions and intimacy enhancement in their everyday relationships.

Through education and commitment to female sexual health & pleasure, we are committed to demystifying the secrecy surrounding sex in order to promote a healthy & healing dialogue of wholeness and respect.

For too long, women have been afraid to openly talk and ask questions about a basic need, the medical community is finally starting to acknowledge is a part of a healthy, fulfilling life…sex. Blissful Lotus is dedicated to providing in-home party experiences that create a safe environment where women feel comfortable to ask questions about intimacy and sexuality. Today’s woman is ready to reclaim her sexuality in a loving and compassionate way; and Blissful Lotus is here to be your romance guide.

Falling in love is easy. That’s why we call it “falling” and not “climbing.” Sometimes we even plummet into love. This falling idea implies we don’t have a choice. It also means we don’t have control. Falling in love is an emotional bungee jump, an adventurous free fall into the unknown depths of imagined romance. There is an element of excitement to that “falling” feeling. When we relax our guard and let ourselves love another person, we get into the rush. It’s only later that we say to ourselves, “Oh, wait, what was I thinking?”

In the early phases of romantic love, everything feels easy. We are excited to see our beloved. We think about them often. We desire them sexually. And sometimes we feel like we can’t get enough.

At some point, the fall seems to slow down. Maybe it even stops. For some of us the ground rushes up fast, and we slam into the hard cold reality of real relationship. Our partner doesn’t always adore us. We don’t always feel cherished. Sometimes they annoy us. And sex isn’t as spontaneous and passionate as it was during the free fall stage. The relationship moves into a more settled place and sometimes we wonder whether we are still in love. When the sex is different, the highs are not as high, and the attraction is not the same, does this mean that we are no longer in love? What happened to the passion? Long-term relationships are not necessarily a death sentence for love and desire. These phases of partnership are normal and common to everyone. Sexual excitement and passion are part of a conscious relationship, where a shared vision of connected, intimate partnership is part of the work of couple hood.

Better sex and more passion often require more conscious choice. It may not feel effortless anymore like it did in the free fall phase of your relationship. But now we have the opportunity to create the passion we really want.
