“When we touch someone, we touch their whole history, their deepest wounds, their secret identity, their healing powers, and their most profound capacities for joy. Sacred Intimacy is not rocket science, though it is neuroscience.

Olivia Naomi Bryant is the creator of Self-Cervix – a body of somatic education, research and call to revolution for reclaiming and developing a love affair with this often overlooked and medially mistreated part of the sexual and reproductive anatomy.

We explore reasons for why this is and how to sensitize and reclaim the pleasures and orgasmic capacity of the Cervix.
