SELF-CARE SUNDAY | PLEASURE PRINCIPLES
It’s the P L E A S U R E P R I N C I P L E S…
So, this week’s SELF-CARE SUNDAY is all about finding ways to self-care while self-pleasuring. I recently had a conversation with my very good friend, Caramel, as we discussed the surge of support for black-owned businesses and how she felt there was often a lack of support for hers. Caramel is a distributor for the well-known company, Bedroom Kandi, and offers a wide range of products. We talked about how there is a stigma around companies like this and how many people initially think that she is just slinging dildos and butt plugs when in reality she offers body oils and massages, lip balms, candles and much more. This made me begin to thing about how people can become so uncomfortable when it comes to discussing this type of self-care and how the conversation needs to happen more often,
How do you approach peace and relaxation? Do you light candles? Do you play soft music? Do you take a hot bubble bath? Do you masturbate? (Oooh I said the M word. Masturbate. Masturbate. Masturbate. Grow up) All of things can be a form of not only self-care, but self-pleasure, as well. All of these things combined can lead to a good night. wink wink
“In Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, the pleasure principle is the driving force of the id that seeks immediate gratification of all needs, wants. and urges. ... Sometimes referred to as the pleasure-pain principle, this motivating force helps drive behavior but it also wants instant satisfaction.”
So let’s talk about all this more, shall we?
Join me tonight, on my IG LIVE at 8:30pm, as I am joined by Caramel from Bedroom Kandi as we discuss self-care, her product line, and everything in between. It’s going to be LIT. Don’t be lame, or late. Tune In!
In the meantime, hop on over to her site and shop, fill your cart, and find some self-care :-) (Sidebar: Did I mention its black-owned? ::insert joyful smile::)
See yall tonight!
xoxo,
Marie
