You want more pleasure. You want to savor your sexual experience.
hell, you want your intimate life to feel like a joyful and nourishing art project.
But life has other plans.
You’ve unlearned sexual shame (or a good amount of it!). You have some sex toys in your nightstand, and the sex you have isn’t bad. In fact, it is damn delightful sometimes!
But in the hustle of life’s responsibilities, the constant pressure to prioritize productivity, and the stress of being a justice-oriented person living through fascism?
Pleasure and play takes the back seat. Like, the trunk.
Okay, they’re holding onto the bumper.
With 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.
Does this sound like you?
“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, or get aroused.”
“I want to feel connected to my partners and for sex to feel less scripted— to have more variety.”
“Growing up 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 (including, maybe, you!) are seeking?
Is play!

As an award- winning sexuality and intimacy professional with over a decade in the field of sexuality + intimacy education, my special sauce is the way I take the shame, taboo, and intimidation out of sexuality conversations.
My belief that intimacy and sexuality are intrinsically tied to creativity and agency makes Play Practice a no-brainer.
We can only think our way to transformation so far— we have to let our bodies learn that sexuality and connection can be life-affirming, joyful, and generative.
What better way than through play?

And Now, a Word from our Sponsors (just kidding, sponsor me, National Institute for Play!)
If you’ve made it this far into my love letter to play thinking, “gosh this woman is obsessed with having fun. But life isn’t all fun and games. Play happens when we have time and— tbh, I don’t have time.”
I hear you. And so, I turn to the National Institute for Play to share with you just why play is so crucial in our lives:
Play increases intimacy, belonging, and trust with our play partners and the world around us.
It can take thousands of repetitions of a behavior to form a new neural pathway. But it only takes 15-20 when that behavior is done through play. That’s right! We integrate new ways of being faster when we have fun!
Play activates the reward centers of the brain, floods the rest of the brain with feel-good chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin and triggers the release of powerful neural growth factors that promote learning and mental flexibility.
It causes stress hormones to drop, mood to lift and has an energizing effect! In short, it gets us into the perfect context for connection, presence, and joy.
