Soft Cock Week Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Soft Cock Appreciation Week 2024 is asking you, Are you Ready to break the Sound Barrier? Silent sex is often a habit of circumstance and, for many, vocalizing can feel “unnatural”. Cardiovascular research has shown that the HUM in particular helps the physical functioning of the body by increasing Nitric Oxide, a critical component of erectile health. Like a vibrator, a blindfold, or a cockring, bringing sound into sexual play and exploration also enhances sensory arousal and can be a wonderful addition to have in your pleasure chest. In this conversation Erica Leroye and Jill Carnay, Somatic Vocal Coach and founder of The Vocal Universe, discuss the acoustic nature of the body, humming techniques for better erectile function, and more ways for integrating sound into intimate practices for both those who are uncomfortable making noises and those who love it. Together they explore: The profound connection between sound, breath, and sexuality The essentials of the Hum- what it is, how to do it in practice, and how to apply it during intimacy The relationships between the throat/mouth and pelvis/genitals to maximize what you do above to impact what happens down below Between Silence and “Dirty Talk”-Tapping into the eroticism of vowels as a playful way to connect the body/mind both solo and with partners More Info: To connect with Jill Carnay: www.thevocaluniverse.com  @thevocaluniverse  For More Information and to Connect With Erica Leroye https://www.flowcode.com/page/creativebodyrelease.com For More Information and to Connect With Soft Cock Appreciation Week https://www.softcockweek.com/ We have MERCH!

Soft Cock Appreciation Week 2024 asks, “Why is talking openly and honestly about changes in erectile function still so taboo among men?”  This question has been at the forefront of Erica Leroye’s quest to demystify the erectile epidemic and treat men’s sexual health as openly as any other health matter. In this conversation Erica speaks with Courtney Brame, founder of both Something Positive for Positive People- a vital resource for STI stigma re-education, and Selfed a mental and emotional health nonprofit for Black men, as well as  a yoga instructor and yoga therapist in training. Courtney shares ideas from his years of his personal and professional experience helping people learn how to accept their bodies as they are and feel more free in communicating openly and authentically with partners. Join them as they explore: How it often takes a crisis to begin the shift from societal expectations of “what it means to be a man” to the personal explorations that create one’s own truth. Redirecting thoughts of “I am alone in this and no one will ever want me again” to accepting what is in a way that encourages self-care and discoveries of new possibilities. Transforming “disclosure” of erectile concerns to partners into open dialogue and discussion .  Speaking from the Body- Learning your body’s cues and messages as a path for communicating desires and needs Practical Tips for Stress Management, Open Communication, and Lifestyle Changes For More Information About Courtney Brame and to Support His Work: https://getselfed.org https://spfpp.org  @SelfedWithCourtneyBrame  For More Information About Erica Leroye and Her Work https://www.flowcode.com/page/creativebodyrelease.com For More Information About Soft Cock Appreciation Week www.softcockweek.com We have MERCH!

During the closing panel of Soft Cock Week 2023 the conversation shifted to “where is the joyful representation of soft cock in erotica that isn’t humiliation focused?” This inspired previous participant Mish Middelmann, prostate cancer survivor, advocate and founder of Recoveringman.net to go on a quest to find what lives in the wilds of the internet for those who want Soft Cock in their erotic fantasies. His North Star is to celebrate how soft cocks invite men and their partners from one-dimensional results-oriented sex into full body integrated connection with love for self, and partner, and beyond. Erica Leroye and Mish are likeminded on this mission and in this conversation Mish shares what he has discovered. They also talk about their personal experiences tapping into the creative process as a way to deepen the mind/body connection to their juicy erotic wholeness and share tips and ideas for turning on self and others through creative expression.

Soft Cock Appreciation Week knows that pornography is the number one way people get their sex education and with that comes a lot of expectations and pressure to match what they see. But often the soft penis is not highlighted in adult visual media, leading the mind to believe that it is unwelcome or unappreciated in play and intimacy. In this dynamic conversation, Erica Leroye speaks with Jet Setting Jasmine and King Noire, founders of Royal Fetish Films XXX. Jasmine and King are life partners, performers, activists, educators, entrepreneurs and all around baddies with heart ready to take you behind the scenes and celebrate hot, sexy, sultry, softness. This conversation is rich and touches on:

A typical day in the life of a penis on a porn set- moving through the physical ups and downs of arousal and expectations

WHY Hardness is what we see and how Royal Fetish Films is changing that expectation

Communication skills you can take from adult performers to feel more comfortable talking about desires, needs and boundaries

The importance of  “setting the stage” so that presence and flow state can be achieved

The link between athletic performance and sexual performance and how preparation shifts performance anxiety to arousal

Using what you see for ideas and inspirations while also better understanding that pornography is Intentional Entertainment
