Try This Tonight: The Side-by-Side Solo Session

"Lie side-by-side holding hands in the center. Use your outside hands to pleasure yourselves with lube for 10 minutes while sharing loving eye contact."

01

Introduction & Framework

In alignment with trainings at ISTA (International School of Temple Arts) and the School of Erotic Mysteries, advanced exploratory intimacy integrates sacred container-building, boundary mastery, and life-force energy movement. When approached with radical consent and somatic awareness, non-ordinary states of intimacy offer profound catharsis and mutual empowerment.

02

Historical Roots & Lineage

Ritualized power dynamics, sensory deprivation, and ecstatic trance states have deep roots in ancient mystery schools, shamanic initiation rites, and esoteric Tantric practices. Ancient temple arts utilized intentional containers to transcend everyday ego identity. Contemporary conscious kink and sacred mystery schools synthesize these ancient cathartic traditions with modern psychological safety and trauma-informed consent protocols.

What It Is & Somatics

Lying side-by-side or propped up facing each other in bed, simultaneously or taking turns masturbating to climax while holding eye contact and vocalizing pleasure.

Somatic Pacing & Rhythm

Mutual masturbation is the ultimate bridge of visual pleasure, anatomical education, and deep trust.

Why It Works

Demonstrates authentic individual pacing and technique while activating mirror neurons for deep reciprocal arousal.
