Mama Gena Makes the Playoffs
Darlings,
Last Sunday, this guy I am dating was coming over to watch the playoffs.
I thought it would be fun to greet him in some lingerie. It is always more fun to watch football in black lace, dontcha think? I think it helps the players. 
It had just snowed–as you may recall–and the aforementioned guy called to say he was having trouble finding a parking spot, and could I come down and show him the nearest parking lot.
Hmmm.
Snow.
Me in stilettos, and very little else.
Major snafu?
Or major opportunity?
Whether we know it or not, we all get to choose.
I could get annoyed. Inconvenienced.
Or, I could choose a totally different direction.
It seemed to me like the perfect moment for a Radical Act of Pleasure.
I threw on the Sister Goddess mink, and headed down to the street.
He looked over at me, tip toeing in my satin shoes, and wondered what was going on.
Slow smile as he begins to put the pieces together.
“Get back inside! In those shoes! And that outfit!!” He cautions.
Instead, I flashed my lingerie at him.
And guess what?
Yup, the car parked right in front of my building pulled out.
And he slid his car right in.
Just like that.
Who needs a parking lot in a snowstorm when you have Radical Pleasure at your fingertips?
Radical Pleasure is no joke. It is a piece of technology that any woman can reach for, any day, any time, anywhere–to have a friendly little mud wrestle with the universe in order to have her way.
You can use Radical Pleasure for the creation of something simple, like a parking spot. Or something much more profound. You get to choose. And I will give you the full download on Radical Pleasure at my upcoming Intro night: The Radical Step That Changes Everything.
I’ll show you how this essential, missing ingredient of pleasure has transformed thousands of women’s lives and allows you to:
• Be in charge of your own ecstasy
• Create relationships your soul is burning for
• Guarantee your own sensual fulfillment
• Profit from your deepest gifts
Come reacquaint yourself with this trace element and plant yourself inside a community that insists you live your destiny, right here right now.

Are You Getting Your RDA of Pleasure?
Darlings,
- photo: lizlinder.com
Did you ever have a wish that was so deeply held that you never ever even thought about it coming true?
You just loved having it?
Well, I had a wish inside me that I would not only get a chance to one day meet the incredible and inspiring Dr. Christiane Northrup, and express my gratitude to her for the incredible pioneer that she has been in the field of woman’s health–but also to open the doors of pleasure for her. I have had the privilege of both. And, deeper still, this woman has become my esteemed friend and colleague, and shares her genius as an honored speaker and student at the School of Womanly Arts Mastery Program.
Enjoy this special guest post from Dr. Northrup…
As I sit here, I am filled with pleasure. I’m holding the third edition of The Wisdom of Menopause, hot off the presses. The Wisdom of Menopause is a manual for negotiating the mother of all wake-up calls—perimenopause. And it’s loaded with new, fun, and life-saving information for women age 35 and up. The book and I have both come a long way since 2001, the year the very first edition of The Wisdom of Menopause was released. I see so clearly that the missing ingredient in my life (and in the first edition) was….you guessed it—pleasure. Yes. Pleasure. That thing we’re made to feel guilty about. The thing we don’t dare talk about lest we make someone else uncomfortable.
I’m not talking about sex here—though that’s what almost everyone thinks of when you say the word pleasure. No, I’m talking about a feeling of exhilaration, ecstasy, joy, and delight. The pursuit of pleasure is intentionally choosing activities and thoughts that bring about this feeling. Of course, sex can be included in the list. And your sex life will likely improve astronomically as you welcome more pleasure into your life. I can also tell you, emphatically, that the deliberate pursuit of enjoyable activities of all kinds is health-enhancing, too.
Let me explain. Back in 2005 when I was first invited to teach at Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts, I sensed, intuitively, that the women who were learning about the deliberate pursuit of pleasure were healing physical illnesses. To test this, I asked the students of the Womanly Arts to raise their hands if they had noticed an improvement in their health since starting the Mastery program. Hands went up all over the room. And as each woman spoke, I learned that pleasure was a key ingredient in improving everything from abnormal pap smears to lung cancer.
Like any good scientist, I decided to put pleasure to the test—in both my personal and professional life. I also began to study the biochemistry of joy and pleasure to find out why feeling good was such a key component in health. And this is how I made the connection between pleasure and the gas nitric oxide, which rises in response to all kinds of pleasurable activities.
Nitric oxide is produced by the endothelial lining of every blood vessel in the body. (It sounds like nitrous oxide, but isn’t the same at all. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is given by the dentist.) Nitric oxide levels rise in response to all kinds of pleasurable activities, including eating dark green leafy vegetables, laughing ’til you pee your pants, and having orgasms. In fact, an orgasm (and also the fertilization of an egg by a sperm) is accompanied by a huge burst of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide increases the circulation of blood, thus bringing more nutrients to all our cells.
But it does even more than that. It is an “uber neurotransmitter” that actually helps balance the levels of all the other neurotransmitters (like serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and beta-endorphin) in the brain and body. These are the very chemicals for which so many women are prescribed drugs such as Prozac and Paxil. I’ve found that the deliberate pursuit of pleasure in a circle of supportive women is usually all that is necessary to help lift depression and free a woman’s soul.
Make no mistake. The deliberate pursuit of pleasure is a path that requires great courage. It’s incredibly easy to follow the well-worn path of martyrdom, pain, suffering, disease, and anger. And yes, there are hundreds of valid reasons why women are angry and depressed and sick. I have spent a lifetime documenting them, writing about them, and helping women heal from them. Besides, many are convinced that suffering “buys” you something. It doesn’t.
To truly change the conditions of our lives, we women must have the courage to end the pain. And the way to do this is to bring more pleasure into your life. And to realize that every woman who rests, who sits down to enjoy a meal, and who says YES to herself and her deepest desires, helps the next women do the same. And the next one after that. This is the new feminism. This is how we change the world and uplift humanity. One woman at a time. Pure and simple. Now doesn’t that feel good?

Radical Holiday Pleasure Diet
Yo sisters,
Here is a question I get asked a lot:
Help.
How can I handle the holidays?
How can I not just handle the holidays, but actually have an incredible time?
Even when I am facing scads of family?
And the pressure of everyone’s expectations?
And the break from my routine?
And today I want to give you a solution.
A Radical Act of Pleasure.
There is nothing more balancing, more restorative, more enlivening, more uplifting to a woman, than a Radical Act of Pleasure.
What is a Radical Act of Pleasure?
It is an action you take—in the direction of pleasure—when you least feel like it.
Instead of being cranky when you are cranky.
And angry when you are angry.
And frustrated when you are frustrated.
You lob a grenade in the direction of your doldrums, by reaching for a Radical Act of Pleasure.
SG Cyndy Sizzle rocking out
This may mean that in the middle of cooking for your extended gang—just when exhaustion and crankiness are about to overtake you—you blast some music and declare a dance break and make everyone dance like furies with you.
It might mean that you come down to breakfast wearing a tiara and your pink feather boa, to make sure everyone remembers you are royalty.
It may mean that you sneak out to a cheap motel for a little sex break with your partner.
You can brush your teeth naked, wearing only high heels. Compliment a complete stranger. Go to a park and sing a Christmas carol out loud, for no reason.
You are the radical. You get to choose.
Here are some of my recent radical acts of pleasure to inspire you:
-We rented a karaoke machine for Christmas here at The Palace and took random singing breaks during the day.
-I grabbed my goddaughter, went to the barn and kissed and hugged all the horses.
-Feeling exhausted, I checked into the spa for a few hours: after steam, a mani-pedi and a massage, I was ready for my dinner date with a fantastic new guy later!!
Cranky is cool. But a Radical Act of Pleasure is revolutionary.
What Radical Acts of Pleasure do you have up your sleeve? Post them in the comments below, to inspire your sisters.

Here’s to being on the front lines of the Pleasure Revolution and squeezing every drop of joy from this holiday season!
Mama Gena
P.S. For a post-holiday juice infusion, join me at my latest Intro Course, The Radical Step That Changes Everything, LIVE in NYC, February 9th, 2012.
Mama G Does TEDxFiDiWomen
Darlings,
Mama Gena here, woman on a mission. I am about to infiltrate your doldrums, increase your circulation, and flood you with beta-endorphin and prolactin. Sound fun?
Every pleasurable experience you have creates a powerful biochemical reaction in your body. It is literally life-enhancing.
Watch this video to see what I mean…
Can you see how infectious pleasure is? What you didn’t see in this footage was that right after the end of my lecture, all the other conference speakers rushed the stage, creating a dance party for the first time ever at a TEDx event!!
It was a dream come true for me to share my work on that stage, as part of the first-ever live streaming TEDxWomen event in history, with over 110 events and 10,000 live participants on every continent. And I am counting on you to join me in moving the Pleasure Revolution forward. To infect everyone on your pathway with your radiance, sass, and over-the-top self-celebration. That is taking care of the planet.
What is one radical act of pleasure you are going to take today, in the name of celebrating yourself for no reason? Any act of pleasure, no matter how great or small, is a radical act. Post it in the comments below to inspire me, and all of your sisters.
Like what you see in this video? Want an even more extended, massive dose of the Pleasure Revolution? Join me for my latest Intro course, The Radical Step That Changes Everything, LIVE in NYC on Feb. 9th. Click here for more details or to enroll online.

Top 5 Ways Women Lose Their Pleasure and How to Find It Again
Darlings,
It is always hiding in the last place you look.
Yesterday, I was looking everywhere for my bracelet that I took off the previous day, just before my shower.
I remembered taking it off.
But I could not remember where I put it down.
And I looked everywhere, had my kid and my mom looking everywhere, on our hands and knees, but no bracelet.
It was like it vaporized.
But I did not stop looking. And I became more and more hysterical inside, with every spin through the house.
Because I knew it was there, I just could not find it.
Neglected pleasure feels just like that.
Just like that.
You have done whatever you could to make good decisions. You have worked hard. You have hit the marks that everyone told you about.
And there is still something vital that is missing, that fills you with an uncomfortable upset inside, that intensifies the harder you try to find it.
So, I want to give you the roadmap to the top five ways that women lose their pleasure and how to find it again, so you can stop your search, and find yourself, in a whole new way. Click here to begin your audio lesson:
To recap, here are the top five ways women lose their pleasure:
1. She is stuck in the misery of a long-term relationship where she feels stifled, undervalued, and ignored, or she is not dating because all the good ones are taken, and she is certain she will never find a great guy, even before she gets out of the starting gate.
2. She hates her job and feels underpaid and under-appreciated.
3. She feels fat, even though she’s not, she feels old, even though she’s not, and she feels like everyone else is sexier than she is.
4. She has it together, and she has created a lot of what she wants, but there is still a nameless longing inside of her that leaves her sad and lonely at her core.
5. She feels a deep sense of hopelessness and immobility as she looks at her options.
And here are the simple, proven methods you can implement right now to find your pleasure again:
1. Start your day with the Daily Fluffs for a little morning pleasure inspiration.
2. Every Thursday, create a new desire list and send your desires out into the twitterverse on #DesireThursdays with Mama Gena.
3. Choose a theme song, for your day, every day, that speaks to your soul. Give yourself a dance break and sing-along break every couple of hours. Today, mine is “Manhattan” by Kings of Leon.
4. Pretend that the streets are your runway, you are the hottest woman on the planet, and that everyone wants you, as you head for work, run a meeting, or do your supermarket supermom thang. I have learned to rock this in flip flops, sneakers, or stilettos.
5. Lip gloss. Always lip gloss. It never fails. Current fave: Laura Mercier’s Bellini.

The Radical Step That Changed Everything
Darlings,
I was 32 years old.
My career was stuck in reverse.
My relationship life was nonexistent.
I was on tenterhooks with my family.
And I had no good girlfriends to set me straight.
(Because most of them were in the same boat.)
And I took one radical step that changed everything.
Everything.
Yup, I said everything.
Within a year, I created love, work I was thrilled with, new openings with my family, and a sense of community.
How?
Well, there was a missing ingredient in my life—in all women’s lives—that, once put in place, is a power source like no other.
And it is the last place we were ever taught to look.
And it is called: pleasure.
It is an essential ingredient, a trace element that has transformed thousands of women’s lives, and started a revolution. The Pleasure Revolution.
And I want to bring it to you, right here, right now. So, I am coming to wherever you are with a program designed by my creative and business partner, Dr. Anne Davin, and with that trace element that has the power to transform everything, in Virtual Pleasure Boot Camp.

Your Next Step as a Pleasure Researcher
Darlings,
I love a woman with appetite! After all, it’s the most powerful, creative force on earth. Your appetite is your direct-access pipeline to the Goddess within. You are empty without it, abundantly lush with it. And when a woman wants, there is always a way for her to get whatever her heart desires. Money is no object, neither is time or distance. Appetite can move mountains in milliseconds.
Whetting Your Own Appetite is the first and most crucial Womanly Art. Most women were never taught how to recognize their deepest desires. Just as a seed needs soil, sun, and water in order to grow, your appetite requires a support system to really spring to life.
Which is why I want to celebrate your chomp and give you the opportunity to register for a complimentary Pleasure Consultation with one of my gardeners—I mean, enrollers—to determine which of our programs is the best fit for you, at this specific juncture in the legend you are living. Let us assist you in cultivating your field of dreams. Simply click on the “Register Now” link below and enter the appropriate information, and a member of my team will contact you promptly to schedule a convenient time for your over-the-phone, private Pleasure Consultation.
I look forward to fanning the flames of your desires!
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena
Complimentary Pleasure Consultation
My Own Personal Pleasure Diet
Darlings,
Do not be frightened of my Inner Circlets. In this photo, they were in the midst of making a hilarious art project out of that inner voice of judgment that haunts every woman, and calling it out to play.
What you know, can’t hurt you!
We had the most crazy fun event at The Palace designed around our brand new topic called The Pleasure Diet.
You know how we are as women–even though we KNOW it is good for us, we resist pleasure with every cell of our being.
When you have a gang of 75 sisters, all on a pleasure diet with you, it is waaaay more difficult to resist.
And think about all the things we do if we lack pleasure: overeat, drink too much, feel depressed and unattractive, etc.
So, after a night of deep celebration of ourselves, our bodies, our weight, and our beauty at the last live event, we are all officially on The Pleasure Diet.
Here it is, custom-designed especially for Inner Circle: your sneak peek into The School of Womanly Arts’ hottest, newest creation.
Please join us, just for a month, and report back!
The Pleasure Diet (diet: from Latin diaeta, “way of life”)
1. Spring clean every day on your body.
2. Every day, approve of and appreciate your body, in the mirror, and kiss the parts you dislike (or have a hard time loving).
3. Get off at least three times per week.
4. Every day press your pleasure edge by getting yourself out in the world publicly; take yourself out to lunch, or dinner, or a social event.
5. Flirt.
6. Dress hot every day.
7. Every first bite of any snack or meal is Courtesan eating—savor, don’t chew until it melts away into your body. Then continue eating…
Inner Circle Fall 2011 has officially sold out, and we are already 2/3 of the way full for IC Spring 2012, which kicks off in February! If you are a Mastery graduate and would like to be placed on the waiting list, please call The Palace at 212-787-2411 x1.
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena
The Wildfire of Desire Wants You
Darlings,
Desire.
My obsession.
My passion.
My raison d’être, cause célèbre and chef-d’oeuvre. (And I didn’t even know I spoke French ’til I got to Morocco…)
I have devoted my entire life’s work to this topic.
As you know, I have made it my mission to fan the flames of women’s desires wherever I go and wherever I see them.
Now you may wonder, why on Earth would I ever do that?
C’est peut etre parce que je suis une chienne folle.
Or, maybe it’s because your desires are the best thing about you.
They are the voice of your soul, calling you to step into an even grander, more dazzling existence. Desires are anything but frivolous. They have the power to transform you and every other person who has the privilege of being in your presence. In fact, the entire School of Womanly Arts began with the spark of my own desire, kindled by the hot, throbbing appetites of you, my sisters. We have created some wildfire!!
And the fire is growing. We now have Sistergoddess.com–The School of Womanly Arts Global Online Community, a worldwide desire playground where women learn to locate exactly what it is they want and let it come alive through practicing the discipline of pleasure, in sisterhood. Women are able to log in and join the party wherever they have Internet access. We’ve got women from over fifteen different countries right now. It’s like having a global desire task force at your fingertips, 24/7. As the Pleasure Revolution expands, more and more women are choosing to live as Sister Goddesses, remembering the ancient art of desire and bypassing one of the most common misconceptions women have about creating their dreams.
Let me show you what I mean. Check out SG Ti’s story…
SG Ti's avatar photo on sistergoddess.com
I joined Sistergoddess.com in the first weeks of its existence. An avid fan of Mama Gena’s amazing books and blog, I was thrilled at the chance to play with other Sister Goddesses and absorb their wisdom and beauty. I soon discovered that I had made one of the most brilliant decisions of my life. (Joining Virtual Pleasure Boot Camp was another, and I am quite sure joining Mastery in 2012 will be the topper.)
A few months into my Sistergoddess.com membership, I took on a new Sister Goddess name. My sisters cheered me on in becoming the Bliss & Beauty Bitch. That’s when things got really good. I owned my bliss, taking my first ever solo vacation and recapturing the feeling of being a small child in joyful communion with nature. I owned my beauty, appearing at a women’s art conference in a short dramatic dress, and sweeping everyone there into my celebration of female flesh. During the month of January, I listened to the Womanly Arts audio recording on Partying with Your Inner Bitch and found freedom from an old, deep wound with the homework of writing a viciously angry letter (that I didn’t send) and then doing an anonymous act of good for that same person. I took a relationship that had been great and made it legendary. I have Sister Goddess friends all over the world now, and our fierce support for each other extends beyond the virtual world into our daily lives, inspiring all of us to stay on the pleasure path and revel in the exquisite privilege of being a woman.
Using the Tools and exploring the Arts in community is life changing. I’ve done the exercises in Mama Gena’s books on my own and they work. But regularly checking in with my sisters online takes it to a new level. I write about my rough spots, and others admit to and transform those same experiences. I brag almost daily in the company of Pleasure Revolutionaries. I brag when I feel gorgeous and when I feel like an ugly duckling. I brag when I’m sure bragging won’t work, and it always does. I read about what my sisters are doing, and it fires me up in ways I could not have imagined. Through researching and practicing pleasure in this online community, I’ve conjured all sorts of desires, including the exact $888 I requested for a Tiffany necklace, a hot makeout session, and private coaching with Mama Gena and her business partner, the amazing Dr. Anne Davin. (Not simultaneously, though don’t put it past me!)
You know what’s the most fun? I enjoy my desires now. I don’t sit around staring glumly into the space between me and what I desire. I delight in the desire itself! I love myself for the audacity of my BIG desires and wriggle with joy at the pure fact that what I desire desires me and is on its way. There’s no angst or feeling of “less than.” There’s just play and hot, sweet desiring. Sound good? Get in the mix, sister! Join us at Sistergoddess.com and see just how delicious a life you can create.
SG Ti, Bliss & Beauty Bitch
You see darlings, all there is for you to do is take pleasure in your “hot, sweet desiring,” in community. Most women think they’ve gotta try and do all the “work” themselves, focusing on deadlines rather than desires. Don’t make it so hard on yourself. Your pleasure is the fastest path toward getting what you want, and on Sistergoddess.com you have the opportunity to take advantage of the magnifying power of global Sister Goddesshood.
Sistergoddess.com was designed for a woman to plug into her power no matter where she is, and study the Tools and Arts alongside her sisters. You can log in and listen to an audio recording of me teaching you about one of the Arts or interviewing a Mastery graduate on how she uses the SWA technology in her everyday life. You can take on the pleasure research assignments and share your findings, as well as see what magic your sisters are stirring up. Like SG Ti, use it to get inspired and to inspire. We are in this together, and being a Sister Goddess takes active participation. I created this Global Online Community as an answer to all the women from around the globe desiring a way to get active NOW until they can get to Mastery. Sistergoddess.com is loaded with features to enable you in creating a life of ever-expanding pleasure. Click here to read more about all the goodies included in your membership.
Your desires are seeking you. Will you answer the call? Become a member of Sistergoddess.com today!
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena

Intended for future parents and birth professionals, this 10-week Tele-Summit is bringing together some of the hottest teachers across disciplines to talk about living in your body, tapping into its innate power, pleasure and wisdom, AND how to integrate that into childbirth!!
This information is going to turn your conception of childbirth upside down AND inside out! We will be empowering you to deepen your connection to your body, whether you are giving birth in the near or far future, or supporting someone in preparation for a deeply connected and ecstatic birth experience!
Topics include:
- The interwoven nature of a woman’s birthing and sexual anatomy and how deeply this informs our birth experience
- How to get out of our heads and prepare for “birth as a body trip”
- The importance of a woman’s relationship to her sensuality, and how to deepen this connection and tap into it during birth
- Concrete tools and exercises for ecstatic and potentially orgasmic birth preparation
- The underlying physiology inherent in the ecstatic birth experience
- Practices to fully inhabit the body and connect to its innate wisdom
- Guidance for birth professionals on how to incorporate all of the above into their services
