How The Journal Came To Be

Once upon a time, I heard a poem at a virtual open mic hosted by The London Writers' Salon. Peppur Chambers was pinned to my screen. Her reading of "Can I?" uplifted and provoked me. It made me feel delicious.

I write about love and sex on my blog, Misseducated, and I asked Peppur if I could feature her. In my first sex writing workshop, Peppur read her poem, and I incorporated writing prompts. It was intimate and daring for those of us who shared what we wrote. We had stumbled across something magical.

Writing has a unique way of connecting us with the erotic and how we like to receive pleasure. I wanted my readers to experience the same awakening I had. I encouraged them to keep a sex journal. Then they had questions. What journal should they use? And when was my journal coming out?

My excitement brewed. I decided to publish a journal to help women explore their sensuality and sexuality. I was determined to find the best poetry about female sensuality — to evoke the same feelings Peppur's poem had sparked in me on every page.

I ran up against the publishing patriarchy; I couldn't get permission from the world's greatest poets to reprint their own work. But I got lucky with other translations, and the collection blossomed with contemporary voices. Poetry foundations like the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation and The Poetry Foundation enabled me to honor the most incredible female poets across cultures and throughout the ages.

That culminated in this first collection I've curated for you. I hope you love it, and that the voices in the book speak to you as they have spoken to me.
Meet the Author

Hi, I'm Tash! 

I'm a writer, intimacy educator, and workshop facilitator based in Mexico City. I quit my corporate tech job to become an author and have since published my first novel, These Perfectly Careless Things.

After blogging about my sex life for over 3 years, I realized I'd accidentally become a lot more confident asking my partners for what I want. I created The Intimacy Journal so my readers can experience the same transformation from the privacy of their own homes.

Who is The Intimacy Journal for?

People who are looking for a new way to connect more deeply with themselves, process their buried emotions, and discover more about their pleasure and sexual preferences. It's been used by people who don't write at all, and who have no idea what they want in bed, to full-on sex writers. This audiobook is especially great for people who prefer listening to reading, or who want a guided companion to their journaling practice.

How much time does it take each day?

The audiobook has 20 chapters. You can listen to one chapter a day and spend time reflecting on each, or listen at your own pace. Every minute of reflective writing on the prompts counts, even as little as 10 minutes. It's up to you, but Pennebaker's research at UT Austin shows that 20+ minutes of expressive writing is recommended in order to receive the full benefits.

How long does each journal last?

The journal has 20 chapters of poems and prompts, so about 3 weeks if you do one chapter a day, though many people take longer.

Do I have to be very sexually experienced or active to use this journal?

Absolutely not! The Intimacy Journal is created for people at every stage of their sexual journey. It is a tool designed to help you go deeper into exploring what you want in your love life and pleasure, and how you can communicate that to your partner(s).

Is The Intimacy Journal only for women?

No. While most people who purchase the journal identify as women, men also enjoy it. The journal is a particularly powerful tool for men who do not have friends they can talk about sex with, men going through breakups, and men who want to tackle their shame. Tackling shame appeals to gay men especially.

Can I use The Intimacy Journal with my partner?

Absolutely! You can share the prompts and poems with your partner, or purchase a second audiobook if you want to listen separately.
