The Swinger Queen Wasn't Feeling It

Taara Rose and her partner James were literally crowned Queen and King of the swinger community, but during the pandemic, Taara realized her pleasure had never been her priority. She set out to reconnect with her body, understand her own pleasure, and start advocating for it in all of her encounters. And the results...? Let's just say fire emojis abound, pinecones. And uhh, Taara got a tattoo of two pairs of scissors. 🔥✂️🔥✂️🔥 In this episode: How Taara and James started out as friends with benefits, and decided to be non-monogamous from day one of their Official Relationship Beach blowjobs under a double rainbow (yes, that really happened) What it's like to be crowned royalty at one of the biggest swinger conventions in the world The anxiety that started showing up in her body before events, how she wrote it off in the moment, and what it was actually telling her The article that got her kicked out of the swinger community How Taara's whole life changed when she trained to become a certified somatic sex educator The moment she realized her own pleasure had never been her priority Decentering orgasms and finding pleasure in coffee, dog walks, and sexy trees Negotiating a scene weeks in advance, and what two full weeks of aftercare looks like Going from swinging together to polyamory apart, and how James feels about it The Wheel of Consent, and why "thank you for your no" is part of it Why patriarchy has all of us—women and men—performing in bed instead of feeling anything WORK WITH TAARA ROSE: Website: https://sexedforthemodernbed.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexedforthemodernbed Email: [email protected] SUPPORT THE SHOW!
