Is it possible for women to have orgasms from breast and/or nipple stimulation?The short answer is yes! And here's why...Studies have determined that there is, in fact, a neural link between the nipple and the clitoris. Stimulation of the nipples activates the same sensory area of the brain associated with the genitals.Stimulation of the nipples activates:Your Brain -Stimulating the nipples activates both the chest area and the genital sensory cortex in the brain.Your Hormones - Nipple stimulation also triggers the release of oxytocin, a hormone that can cause uterine contractions, which may contribute to sensations in the genital area.Your Pleasure - Research involving women who have undergone a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) suggests a direct neural link, as the genital sensory cortex is still activated during nipple stimulation, even without the uterus being involved.This neural connection provides a neurological basis for why nipple stimulation can enhance sexual arousal, lubrication, and orgasm for many women.Listen to the full episode for our step-by-step guide to activating breast orgasms using Pleasure as Medicine.Thank you for listening to Sex Is Medicine!

Your cervix is PORTAL into ENLIGHTENMENT! In Tantric Buddhism, the cervix is the bottom end of the Uma Channel (aka Shushumna Nadi, aka Central Channel).In the genital reflexology system associated with Taoist sexual teachings, the cervix is the “heart point,” and stimulation of this zone can catalyze deep emotional release and opening.Your cervix is one of the few organs of the body to boast triple innervation, with the hypogastric, pelvic, and vagus nerves all contributing pressure-sensitive pathways to this 3rogenous zone. In fact, your cervix is even MORE densely innervated than your clitoris!Directly stimulating the cervix allows you to “hack” into the vagal pathway, inducing all the vagal benefits of increased immune system function, improved physical and emotional health, greater resilience to stressors and triggers, and deep feelings of relaxation and well-being.Your pleasure is a gateway to health, wealth, and longevity, and you DESERVE to know, understand, and explore this!In this episode of Sex Is Medicine Reboot, Devi and Alaina answer questions about pain and pleasure in the cervix.Find out the answers to:Why your cervix hurts during sexIs it possible to have a cervical orgasm when you have an IUD?The keys to cervical pleasure during deep penetrationHow cervical orgasms may change after having childrenOne of the ways we can resist oppression and access our POWER is through embodied Pleasure and Connection! Click Here to join Devi and Alaina (and the IHS Team) on November 4th at 7 pm EST, for a conversation about the Power of Pleasure and how YOU can become part of the RESISTANCE! ***References for WSC - https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/Thank you for listening to Sex Is Medicine!

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a sexual issue that affects approximately 1 in 3 men aged 18 to 59 in North America. It occurs when ejaculation happens sooner than desired during sexual activity. PE is considered the most common sexual disorder among men and can lead to depression, low self-confidence, erectile dysfunction, and relationship problems.Conventional definitions describe premature ejaculation as a sexual dysfunction characterized by ejaculation that "always or nearly always occurs before or within 1 minute of penetration" and the inability to delay ejaculation in nearly all instances of intercourse. This often results in stress, frustration, and sometimes avoidance of sexual intimacy.Many men and their partners believe they have PE if they cannot last more than a few minutes, and we agree with this perspective! We define premature ejaculation as having little to no control over when or if one ejaculates. In short, if you consistently ejaculate before you want to, it becomes an issue for both you and your partner.Fortunately, PE is one of the more straightforward sexual dysfunctions to address, provided you understand the underlying causes and have effective methods to tackle it.This episode of Sex Is Medicine outlines:The definition of PE and how to know if you have itCommon causes of PEPros vs Cons of conventional remedies for PE Holistic methods to last longer and how they workCuring PE naturally and safely Thank you for listening to Sex Is Medicine!

Welcome back to Sex Is Medicine, your number #1 resource for holistic sex education. In this episode, Alaina and Devi draw on their combined 27 years of expertise to answer a listener's question: "Can you practice tantra as a same-sex couple?" The answer is "Of course!", and here are a few things to consider:It's essential to distinguish between authentic, lineage-based Tantra (real Tantra) and Neo-Tantra. Authentic, lineage-based Tantra involves energy body yoga and meditation, whether practiced sexually or non-sexually, and whether done individually (solo)  or in partnership. The concept of "polarity" in Neo-Tantra creates a lot of confusion for Queer folks. The concept of "polarity" is not found in authentic, Buddhist lineages of Tantra. The concept of "Polarity" as it relates to sexuality was introduced to the Neo-Tantra industry by author David Deida. David Deida's teachings are not sourced from or associated with an authentic Tantric lineage. In short, the concept of polarity is not a concept present in authentic Tantra. It has no relevance in the practice of actual Tantra. Same-sex relationships are very congruent with the original roots of Tantric Buddhism, which were revolutionary, transformative, and transgressive. In examining the roots of Tantric Buddhist sexuality, studies reveal the concept of "Pandikas"—people who are trans, gender non-conforming, or engage in same-sex relationships. There is a historical reference recognizing non-cis, non-heteronormative relationship structures. In some cultures, such as Chinese Taoist, women-to-women relationships were well-supported and celebrated. In contrast, in others, such as Roman and Spartan societies, male-to-male relationships received similar acknowledgments.Authentic, lineage-based Tantra for same-sex couples can incorporate all of the same methods and practices as used for heterosexual couples.Same-sex couples can use meditation, yogic breathwork, communication, and pleasure methods to enrich, balance, and heal the energy and physical. For queer men, women, and non-binary folks, heart-centered tantric practices can help improve relationships by healing wounds inflicted by Patriarchy, allowing individuals to foster loving relationships with themselves, their partners, and their environment.Tantra is a spiritual technology that has been transmitted from one human heart to another for millennia. Tantra is designed to support the liberation of body, mind, and sex for all human beings, without a single exception.Check out our Tantra Healing Program if you'd like to learn Tibetan 5 Element Tantra for Holistic sexual healing.Thank you for listening to Sex Is Medicine!

This episode clearly breaks down the overt and intentional lies told by Nicole Daedone regarding the origins of Orgasmic Meditation (OM).It highlights how these falsehoods were used to manipulate and coerce clients, employees, and the general public into practicing OM. The misleading narrative suggested that OM was a legitimate esoteric method of spiritual realization, supposedly transmitted by a Buddhist monk to OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone.These lies form the foundation of the OneTaste brand and its primary methodology, Orgasmic Meditation. They directly challenge the core of the OneTaste trial defense, which claims that the plaintiff and OM participants were always in “full consent.”  However, one of the basic tenets of abuse recovery is recognizing that you cannot consent to a lie. Withholding or omitting the truth, as well as intentionally deceiving people about the origins of a method to manipulate their perception, are hallmarks of abusive behavior. This is crucial because OM was, and still is, promoted as a method for “healing sexual trauma,” yet the very foundation of the practice was built on an extensive and deliberate lie propagated by Nicole Daedone through multiple media outlets.Fortunately, the US justice system agrees with this perspective. On Monday, June 9th, 2025, after less than 2 days of deliberation, a federal jury convicted the Founder and former CEO of OneTaste, Nicole Daedone, and her former head of sales, Rachel Cherwitz, of forced labor conspiracy. After hearing 5 weeks of testimony from former employees and clients of OneTaste, based on the evidence presented, it took less than 48 hours for the jury to determine that the defendants, Nicole Daedone and Rachel Cherwitz, subjected their victims to: economicsexualemotionalfinancialand psychological abuseas well as surveillanceindoctrinationand intimidation They are each facing up to 20 years in prison. Read more at https://holisticsexologyinstitute.com/the-deliberate-deception-of-orgasmic-meditationom/.Thank you for listening to Sex Is Medicine!
