Just spend another wonderful day with a group of same-sex couples, talking about sex. I’m always amazed by the power of a group of women sharing their thoughts on this sensitive topic. As some said, “We don’t talk about sex with our friends…it helps to know you’re not the only one.”
When you hear others saying the things you’ve been thinking, you realize you’re not alone or weird. You’re “normal.” No matter how unique, intelligent, and successful we are, deep down we’re still social animals who need to connect with each other and run with the pack. And we get to choose the pack!
I always come back to the “safety vs. growth” paradox. You have to feel safe where you are before you can risk going somewhere new. Feeling connected and “normal” is where you start. As Ram Dass said, “We’re all just walking each other home.”
