Sexpedition
Wandering out into the great unknown can be intimidating. Where should I go? What should I bring? Do I have the right shoes? How long does it really take to get to the top of that mountain?
Making the decision to go out into nature for an extended amount of time can seem overwhelming. I mean, there is so much to think about from planning the safest route, to ensuring you have the right supplies. But, once you’ve made the decision and you’re ready to go, it can be the most incredibly fulfilling experience.
It gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself and learn about boundaries; to attune to yourself, your body, and reconnect with all of your favourite places.
“Going on an expedition gives you the chance to be truly in the moment and let everything else go.”
In this instalment of the Love Canoe blog, we’d like to encourage you to explore what we like to call a Sexpedition.
You may be wondering what we mean by a Sexpedition and the answer is very simple: it’s a sexual expedition. It’s taking the time to check-in with yourself and explore your sexuality and sexual preferences. Whether you decide to go out on a solo mission of self love or adventure of tandem sex with a partner or two that is totally up to you; the intention is to go on a journey of self and partnered discovery, get excited about a sexual adventure, and uncover the parts of yourself that you want to visit more often or discover the areas of your partners body that you love the most.
So where do we start?
Think of something that you want to try that excites you, something that lights a fire inside. Maybe you’ve never gone on a solo camping trip before where you can get away from the distractions of everyday life and take time for self-reflection, self-care and being fully present with sensations. Or perhaps it’s a tandem white-water canoe trip where you need to work closely with another person, plan your favourite route together, explore new strokes, make responsible decisions, and express your needs with confidence. The point being: decide on something that you’re excited to try and sexplore!
“By taking the time to do a bit of physical exploration alone or together, we learn things about ourselves and others that can strengthen our relationships and our overall well-being.”
In this fast-paced world built around immediate gratification, it is easy to lose touch with ourselves, with others, nature and the world around us. It can feel like you’re standing at the bottom of a mountain looking up, intimidated, with no idea which route is the best to get to the top. We want you to know that exploring your sexuality doesn’t have to be scary, and a Sexpedition is a way for you to step outside of your comfort zone while feeling completely safe doing so.
Going on a sexpedition is an opportunity to collaborate, build confidence, and reconnect with yourself and your partner while discovering the best possible route for both of you. Perhaps most importantly, it gives you the chance to work on all of those things while having fun doing it! Sexual pleasure and the road to finding it can feel unfamiliar for some but it can also be exciting and incredibly rewarding: we hope, when you’re ready, you’ll choose the adventure that suits you the best.
