She finds women who are in their 40s, 50s, & 60s... professional women both hetero and bisexual women... are exploring and expanding their sexuality, taking their sexuality by the reigns and finally paying attention to themselves... they want it all! And newsflash... "Eroticism doesn't age." She explained how nice it is for women to experiment with a female practitioner in a safe space, how women should stop asking for permission to be who they are and tend to their own needs and wants, and ask for support from their partner instead. Take charge! She strives to help women connect with all parts of themselves, thrive in community with other women, and encourages them to play and explore.   Ruan:Ruan on Sapphire's Earplay podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sapphires-earplay/id425291233?i=1000622805333 Neighborhood Sex Secrets: affiliate links Buy links: https://books2read.com/u/3R5MZj https://amzn.to/3CVxzw8 Ruan's books and audiobooks; https://books.ruanwillowauthor.com/ Support the show Newsletters https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillow https://linktr.ee/RuanWillow Affiliate Firm Tech 15% OFF with code ruan15 https://myfirmtech.com/ruanwillow
