Daring to be sexually healthy
By Michael de Glanville & Viola Edward….

Daring to be vulnerable
When you feel trusting and trusted and in safety with your partner, the feelings of security make it possible to really open yourself up to them with your defences lowered, vulnerable and fully present with nothing withheld, expressing your deepest longings, talking about
The key to sexual intimacy
To allow vulnerability to appear, we have to overcome our fears and face up to the risks of losing our loved one, plunging ourselves into the pain of separation and loneliness. Exploring those

Our delicate nakedness
Our capacity to go into deep intimacy with a partner will have a strong influence on how we live our sexuality in the relationship.

The Essential components
In the conscious relationship, healthy sexuality, intimacy and elements of eroticism are essential components of each day, alongside love, communication, trust and commitment, where the shared journey is nourishing and self sustaining. Situating where you are today with your personal attitudes about sexuality is an important step in the process of developing a deeper consciousness of the subject.
