It was fascinating to hear from the many women we portrayed in our book Orgasm about their sexual lives which varied a lot. For example, Nirvano talked about how including water into her erotic life gives her a feeling of protection: “I have had many experiences in water or under waterfalls and I love surfing ...

Photographer’s Journey: Women who squirt and the importance of talking about sex

Often when I lecture on our Orgasm book project and female sexuality, men ask me how to help a woman to squirt during sex. In the book two women speak about their experiences. Miss Amelia said, “Orgasm is something that I crave and love to have as often as possible – a few times a ...

For our book Orgasm we interviewed Dragonfly who talked about her pleasurable experience with shower heads: “Detachable shower heads are just fun if you want to clean everything.

I talked to a number of women while at hot springs when finishing my photo book, Healing Waters, who told me they imagined their stay would reduce stress from abuse and break ups. They said also that they discovered that while re-cooperating in the water it awakened their “body feelings”, opening up a renewed sexuality. ...

An excerpt from the interview with Solveig from my book Orgasm: “I remember that when I had my first orgasm, I was 15 years old, and I was in a summer camp which had big army-like tents with beds inside. The girls had a tent, and the boys had a tent. It was dark outside, ...

Photographer’s Journey: The many different definitions of eroticism and pleasure

AnyaSunita — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 10:00:57 +0000

The women I work with have so many definitions of eroticism and the role of an orgasm. Each one of those definitions adds insight to the powerful aspects of sexuality in a woman’s life. One woman we interviewed, Gudrun, said: “For me, orgasms can be very different. Sometimes they are gentle like a wave in ...

Photographer’s journey: The dangerous road to knowing yourself

AnyaSunita — Wed, 09 May 2018 12:00:01 +0000

Through book projects I’ve discovered over and over how life affirming sexual pleasure is. I was obliged to care for my parents at an early age and this interfered with my personal space, which is why I still offer immediacy easily to people as I think I will gain insight and connection with them.
