Quote: Adrienne Maree Brown

“I am having the best sex of my life, and it isn’t an accident.”

"With time I realized it  wasn’t about orgasmic marathons but about my presence, about my detachment from outcome, about my  ability to bring my whole self to the point of contact with a lover or a finger or a  toy.  About letting my lover know when they are at the mouth of the river, of saying yes (and stay, and harder)."
