“The importance of play doesn't end when childhood ends.

Playing as adults is about pleasure, curiosity, creativity, fantasy —

all the juicy parts of life we savor.”

Esther Perel, Sex Therapist and All Around Icon

Play is seriously important business.

why do we ignore it?

Play? In this economy? When the empire’s death rattle is shaking all around us?

Yes, especially now. Play is an innate state that humans (and so many other animals!) come into this world with. You don’t have to teach a baby to play— they show up with play in their little bones!

Play teaches us creativity, helps us build trust and intimacy with ourselves and our play-mates, and gets us into our pleasure-filled flow state.

An added bonus? Play is a big ol’ middle finger to racialized capitalism, purity culture, and all the other systems of oppression that say productivity is how we measure our worth in this world.

In short, play and its pal pleasure remind our bodies why we are here. And, as Audre Lorde said, once we’ve known that embodied satisfaction, it becomes impossible to settle for less.

We become ungovernable in our liberated play and stubborn pleasure.

Creativity + the erotic are the Same Energy

Play Practice helps them come together so you can, too.🔥

Or, ya know, whatever saucy and abundantly authentic dreams you are making a reality.

After over a decade teaching and coaching thousands of people toward thriving sexualities + intimate lives, I have found that play is at the core of what most folks are looking for.

“I want to feel more present during sex and less performative.”

“I want sex to feel less filled with shame and stress. I want it to be fun!”

“Things used to feel so much more creative and adventurous for us. I want to get back to that energy!”

“It feels like everything is just focused on getting to orgasm, which puts so much pressure on it than I can’t sustain an erection/get out of my head/get aroused.”

“I want to feel connected to my partners and for sex to feel like scripted— to have more variety.”

“Growing up queer in purity culture, I never even knew what pleasurable and joyful sex could look like if it didn’t involve a penis and vagina. Now that I’m out, I want to explore!”

Turns out, what all of these folks are seeking?

Is play!

And now a word from our sponsors
