Recently I had the honor of meeting with Dr. Jess for her podcast, Sex with
Dr. Jess and we spoke about sexual compatibility. I don’t think it’s much
of a secret that I think folk use the idea of being sexually compatible as
a cop out.
What I mean is that we often work hard as hell to NOT try but then blame
everything on sexual compatibility. We will say there is no chemistry, that
we feel off, and have really done no...

Therapy without politics sounds a lot like polite conversation, as my
friend Dr. Lexx would say. You don’t go to therapy to just feel good for a
moment, you go to therapy to heal from a lifetime of hurts with skills to
continue on with.

We are talking about Wish dating--where you have a wish list of romantic wants and you try to make someone fit that

How does the idea of walking on eggshells, feeling paranoid, and taking
forever to make a decision sound like to you? Exactly, sounds like
anxiety!! To be successful, creative, innovative or anything more than
average, you need to make room for error.

Between my clients, friends, and followers I’ve realized that there are a
lot of folk out there who don’t know much about masturbation or are still
carrying the terrorizing lies they heard from way back when. But hey, it’s
okay to admit you don’t know a whole lot about it or that you have some
questions. What better time to answer them than National Masturbation
Month?!

Relationships are hard enough without a pandemic, yet here we are in the
midst of COVID. Some of you are sheltering in place with your partner and
some of you are sheltering in place without your partner(s). While you may
feel one scenario is better than the other, I'm here to tell you neither
one of them are all that rosy.

I hear the same thing with my single clients. They are using up all those
vacation days because they’re frustrated about various things going on in
their lives. They’re tired of being alone in the house, they’re having
problems with some of their friends so their first thought is,
"You know what? I just have wanderlust. I just need to go on a vacation."

I really wanted to talk about something that I feel is a pandemic that
needs to stop. It's something that bothers me, hurts me, and makes me
wonder what kind of work I and other sex therapist out here in these
streets doing if this is occuring. I'm talking about...hold your breath,
faking orgasms.

Oftentimes, whether or not we want to have it this way or even if we think
it's silly, we get a lot of our ideas from TV. We form our thoughts about
our ideal relationship from the various places that we see relationships
happen, including the media.

I emanation buying some Valentine’s Day goodies from Askgoody.com/shop. Why did I choose them out of ALL the spaces available to buy great toys? I chose them because they are Black Owned and Goody is a whole sex educator! So yeah, this Black History month (and all year) I am supporting Black owned businesses.

Last week while I was in the therapy office I said something out my mouth
that didn't make no daggone sense when I said it but made perfect freaking
sense as I explained it. I told someone to act like their clitoris. To
channel their clitoris and to live that life.
I know y'all are probably reading this with a side eye but it was actually
in the context of what Black folk, especially Black women do all the time,
work ...

Have you ever been going through something mentally or emotionally and felt
like you should be able to get over it in a couple of days? You told
yourself that healing shouldn’t take long, so you’re confused when you’re
still upset weeks later.

I mean you are making monetary goals and every other goal you can think of,
telling yourself you are going to start working towards them come Jan 1
because you feel hope and a sense of urgency, but then you feel overwhelmed
and done. You started with desire, hope, and happiness, and now you're
feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, and overworked. So, let's talk about how
you stay on track with your 2020 goals.

I am constantly reminding my people that they are enough! I remind them
that there is nothing they can do to prove their worth and they shouldn’t
feel like they need to. When you start trying to prove your value and worth
you’ll find yourself doing instead of being.

When working with Black and Brown clients I like to use Biggie and Tupac
as a part of my communication explanation. I often ask “did you have a
Tupac conversation or a Biggie conversation?”
Now I'm talking about either one of their lyrical genius, and I'm not
talking about their body of music. I'm talking about how people FOREVER,
even to this day, swear that Tupac is not dead. But nobody questions that
for Biggie.

For those of you who don't know the CROWN Act is also known as Creating a
Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair Act. What I love about this
act is that local government is actually taking steps to make sure there is
inclusion, pride, and choice in the workplace. They’re making sure (well,
trying) Black folk can remain Black folk even in places of business.

All my melanin sisters are walking around with a new glow and confidence
because they received external validation through a song, and I can’t help
but wonder why Beyonce needed to say Brown skin girls are beautiful and
worthy for them to believe it!
