The seven
colors of sex.

For about seven years now, I’ve
majored in the gay erotic arts,
via escorting, adult film acting,
sex and intimacy coaching, etc;
and if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s
that we’ve been programmed to believe
that there is only one kind of sex worth
having: the pornographic, reptilian, and
carnal. It’s the kind of sex that inundates
porn sites, that popular dating and
hookup apps extol, and what we most
commonly imitate in the bedroom.
This is what I call “red sex.” And
don’t get me wrong; I love red, both as a
color, and as a kind of intimate interaction,
but when it’s the only pigment you
see when you pull back the sheets, it
can get boring and repetitive—especially
when there’s a full spectrum available
to us in our bedroom adventures.
Which is why I’ve written this guide!
To show you all the hues that can use to
make your sensual moments burst with
technicolor! Sex can do so much more
for the fulfilling than simply using it to
scratch that solitary itch, over and over
again (woof!).
For the sake of structure, I’ll be using
the seven chakras in the body—each
with its traditionally associated color—
to pinpoint the physical place from
which these shades of sex metaphysically
emanate.
