Dancing with Psychoactives, Estrogen and oOrgasms
Dancing with Cannabis, Psychedelics, Estrogen and oOrgasms There is a magical dance party continually at play in your mind and body. Your friends have arrived and are ready to party. As the ‘Hostess with the Mostess’ it is your job to set the stage. This is especially true for women. Communication is key. Be selective of who you invite and keep an eye on how things are going.

Blasphemy + Horror Films 🎥 Ken Russell - My Director Pick
THE DEVILS - Ken Russell - Director Pick If you follow YestoSex you know my film and music recommendations lean into artists that shock, twist and rewire one’s thinking.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show The year is 1970. Leave it to Beaver is well in the rear view mirror and the Cleaver’s marriage is 50% less likely to survive the decades to come. Sitcoms reflect the new status quo. The Odd Couple , Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, struggle to survive life as two unhappily divorced dudes living together without the help of wives.

Adrenaline + Dopamine to Fight Viruses
Adrenaline + Dopamine to Fight Viruses On a recent trip to Chicago I coupled hang time with my grandkids with a conference.

Birds & Bees and Honey Please!
Meet our Queen Bee (represented by the white spot on her crown) In ancient times, honey was considered a luxury item. It was a symbol of sweetness, devotion and longevity. Cleopatra moisturized and bathed in it, and the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese each succumbed to its magical healing powers. While I have always loved honey, it is only in recent years that I learned to include it as a staple in my daily skincare routine. Why honey? As the founder of oOYes and Uh Huh Honey

Love and Marriage
Love and Marriage This summer I walked my son down the aisle. It was a happy handoff to a woman who loves him madly. The day was magical.

Swimming & Breath Work for Epic Sex
Swimming and Breath Work for Epic Sex As the lifeguards find their way back to college, Denver Parks & Rec are winding down the outdoor swimming season. It has been a blast. Since signing up for the Sunset Triathlon - Boulder I find myself at the pool 4-5 days a week swimming 1800 meters without stopping. I have surprised myself.
