"If you're in the middle of sex and you want to take a break and you don't know how to tell your lover that you need a break to breathe, say that you want water like I need a water break."

"My body and I trust each other."

"Erotic mindfulness is stepping into a habit of being in pleasure rather than seeking pleasure."

"Your body doesn't speak in words. It speaks to feelings and impulses and gut reactions."
