Original Text


You may not be ready or interested in dipping a toe into erotic audio stories. And that's OK. So today I'm going to walk you through how you might get started creating your own stories and activating your own sexual imagination. I won't take this too far. You don't have to follow along right now. But consider this a guide for the next time you get a little me time.

(Laughter)

First, you'll want to settle into your mind the same way that you might start a meditation. Then imagine that your mind is like a projector. Everything you can see and experience is what's right in front of you. Everything to your left, right, behind you, that's out of frame. This is important because while there are thoughts that turn us on, there are also thoughts that are incredibly effective at turning us off: stress, shame, insecurities, and also the things that inexplicably ick us out. So when a thought appears that isn't working, and it inevitably will, you'll be able to sweep it out of frame.
