Quotes by August McLaughlin (?)

“We believe that you are the expert of your own life, and we want to help create space for and facilitate additional healing, growth, pleasure, and vibrancy in your life, however that may look for you.”

“Great sex is not a train you get on as a passive passenger and wait to “get off” at your stop. It is a place, an idyll where you can relax, explore, pause, savor, run around, or leave altogether when you choose.”
― August McLaughlin, With Pleasure: Managing Trauma Triggers for More Vibrant Sex and Relationships
