Theoerotics ventures out on the Fediverse…

After the Flame—What Remains? Desire wrecked me. And then remade me. The bed cooled. The breath slowed. The lover slept. And I was left with something holy burning in my bones—not consuming me, but to illuminating a path forward. What do you do when Eros reveals the divine? You don’t retreat.You don’t abstract.You live it. […]

The Ache Doesn’t Leave—It Deepens My body slumps into the mattress, fallen from the cosmic heights of orgasmic bliss. Heart beating, ragged breath, sweat that streaks my heated skin like tears of relief. The event has passed, the euphoria fades … my soul cries out as I am overpowered by longing.

There Was a Time I Thought I Had One I used to think I had a sexuality. Like a wallet. Like a passport. Like something, I could carry around, present on demand to prove I belonged somewhere. Straight. Married. Monogamous. Male. I carried those labels like holy credentials, like keys to the kingdom. But they […]

The post The Illusion of Having a Sexuality — When Desire Unmakes the Self first appeared on TheoErotic.

Something Beckons, and I Cannot Ignore It I didn’t choose this sacred path. I didn’t invent the desire. I didn’t plan the ache. I was called. There’s a whisper that stirs in my bones, a summons deeper than biology or identity. It comes like poetry at midnight. Like arousal during liturgy. Like longing that doesn’t […]

We’ve been taught to suppress the body and it’s needs in favour of the mind, often desire is perceived as a dangerous distraction on the path to enlightenment. But what if I told you that the yearning, that ache in your soul, the Eros that throbs within you, is a direct line to the divine? […]

Christmas is by far the greatest secular holiday. Within Christianity, most Christians would argue that it shouldn’t be; that Easter should be the greatest Christian holiday. I disagree. I think the incarnation is the greatest miracle imaginable. As I have written elsewhere: Christmas is first and foremost a celebration of our humanity. It is the […]
