Sex Is Medicine REBOOT
Sex Is Medicine REBOOT ~ The Podcast for Sexual Rebels and Spiritual Warriors! Raw, raunchy, and most of all, REAL. Hosted by Devi Ward Erickson and Alaina Salks, Sex Is Medicine is the go-to podcast for sexual rebels and spiritual warriors. Drawing from over 27 years of combined expertise in holistic sexual wellness, Vajrayana Tantra, Tibetan Medicine, and somatic science, Alaina and Devi deliver your weekly dose of sexual wellness through a social justice and anti-racist lens. With a focus on the transformative and healing aspects of human sexuality, Alaina and Devi are committed to busting myths and breaking down systems that keep you disconnected from your true sexual potential. If you identify as a misfit, queer, and/or socially non-conforming human and are looking for decolonial, pleasure-based, humanistic sex education, this is the place for you! Because yes, sex is political (and Tantra is too!)

The short answer is yes! And here's why...
Studies have determined that there is, in fact, a neural link between the nipple and the clitoris. Stimulation of the nipples activates the same sensory area of the brain associated with the genitals.

Your cervix is PORTAL into ENLIGHTENMENT!
In Tantric Buddhism, the cervix is the bottom end of the Uma Channel (aka Shushumna Nadi, aka Central Channel).
In the genital reflexology system associated with Taoist sexual teachings, the cervix is the “heart point,” and stimulation of this zone can catalyze deep emotional release and opening.
Your cervix is one of the few organs of the body to boast triple innervation, with the hypogastri...

Our ability to give, receive, and respond to pleasure is largely dictated by our sense of emotional and physical well-being. From a very basic physiological perspective, if you don’t feel safe – physically, emotionally, or psychologically – your sexual function simply doesn’t function. Or, certainly not as well as it could/should. There are a LOT of stressors in our Western lifestyle that can impact our sexual experience, many of w...
