I was an only child growing up in Huntington Beach, California. My parents had stayed married, and I attended private school, but in the 6th grade, I was put in public school. What a culture shock that was for me! I was picked on a lot, and I dated only a couple of times in high school. I was an atheist at the time but decided to look into Christianity because many of my friends were Christian. I would get into it, which would last maybe a few months but never stick. It just wasn’t for me. I was not feeling it.
I attended nursing school and graduated in 2015. I met and married a woman in college, but we divorced later. I was living in Orange County when a female friend told me about Orgasmic Meditation (OM), which she practiced. Because the nursing program had been intense and required so much time and focus, I hadn’t dated much after my divorce. I wasn’t feeling very confident with women, so she thought Orgasmic Meditation would be something I might be interested in. I signed up for the introductory class.
The class was in downtown Los Angeles and consisted of a group of men and women interested in learning about OM. The people and the instructors were all positive and friendly. We did a lot of exercises, talked to new people, and communicated. I felt like we were all on the same level. We did this one exercise where we had to tell the person next to us a stream-of-consciousness story we made up on the spot. That was interesting.
While there, I saw a demonstration of Orgasmic Meditation (OM). We got into a semicircle to see how the nest was built and how the woman was positioned. I felt hopeful about being able to do it myself. I thought it was a good idea to keep the practice in a container with the gloves and do it all the same way every time so it has a solid foundation.
At first, I did have some difficulty finding someone to OM with, but it all worked out. It was a bit nerve-wracking asking people, and they would say no because I had never done it before. I did understand it, though. People preferred an experienced partner. Eventually, someone asked me to OM. I felt nervous, but the container made it a mutually safe space. My knowledge and skills from Orgasmic Meditation (OM) help me tap more into my intuition, which helps me, as a nurse, sense what people need.
