"Where the rubber meets the road in body positivity…

Will a scar remain that leaves me less attractive? I want to stay present with whatever emotions and thoughts arise — while also choosing gratitude for removing a little cancer.

Ecstatic dance is one way I practice presence in my body.

With my post-surgery limits, I’ve been editing instead of dancing — here’s a teaser for a 10-minute sample, now on JFF/OF, drawn from an hour-long dance last month.

Not much of a #FCF for me today — this morning was skin cancer surgery instead of self-pleasuring.

Doctor’s orders: no elevated heart rate for two weeks.
I guess I’ll be finding more gentle, meditative ways to stay present in my body for a while.

A highlight of my trip — holding my 10-day-old grandniece.
Just being still, watching her discover her body and her first sensations of light and shadow.
A reminder to keep returning to presence, and to the possibilities of our own lives.

And then… the other side of my Vancouver day ☀️

Started the day in bike gear, ended it without any.

Vancouver gave me both the skyline and the sand — and the awareness of being exquisitely present in both settings.

I’m in a very different place than usual — new landscape, new quiet, even a different feel to the air.

What a gift to notice how these surroundings bring a new energy in my body… and to savor that awareness.

That was not my retreat, I was just a participant attending something sponsored by bodyelectric.org, which occasionally a uses a venue in NM.

ThrowbackThursday — I'm in the rustic outdoor shower at my mom’s cabin, 5 years ago. A little nostalgia, a bit more facial hair, and still a lot of naked pleasure.
Full 4-min video now on JFF/OF.

Mesmerized by the water passing the ferry to visit my sister. Pausing to notice what's present. Forming an intention to release auto-pilot habits with family and to tap into the energetic resources I have been learning to find in my body.

I couldn’t be in San Francisco for today’s Folsom Street Fair, but here’s a fun candid of me on those same streets last year.

May those of you there this time be fully present with what you experience and learn.

The sunset is always beautiful — but now it feels so soon, so early.

As we pass the equinox, the days shorten. It’s a season to be present with more darkness, and perhaps to welcome the gifts it brings.

From Market Days dancing into presence and pleasure at home — I’ve finished a 30-minute self-pleasure video from last month, exploring slow savoring, movement, and waves of orgasm. Now live on JFF/OF.

Ten days in a row of naked sun on the beach — what a September gift!
Today after the rain it was just me and the geese, so I took a set of fun photos I’m sharing as a gallery with my subscribers on JFF/OF.

A week of gorgeous beach weather, and I just had to be there every day — who knows, it might be the last good stretch before winter. I suppose there are less healthy addictions 😉

Faithfully keeping up with a few simple squats — an example of building practice into my life, honoring what I learned in physical therapy, and savoring being present in my body.

After a long afternoon naked in the sun, I need the exercise of a mile walk along the lakefront. Even in just a thong, I felt at ease — moving, breathing, fully present in my body.

A tantric massage with David was a two-hour journey into sensation, breath, and erotic energy — an invitation to explore how these can awaken more of the self.

I love being so at home in my body that I can chat with a friend and forget I’m standing naked on the beach this late-summer afternoon.

Filmed during the New Mexico retreat, this self-pleasure practice explores slowness: soft cock, single stroke, and riding low arousal.
Teaser here — full 8-min session on JFF/OF.
