Ready to Break the Sound Barrier?

Save the Date for our next It Doesn’t Have To Be Hard community workshop, Breaking the Sound Barrier: Adding Voice and Sound to Your Sexual Pleasure Chest.

Join Erica Leroye and Jill Carnay for an interactive all-levels play-full exploration of breath, vibration, tone, vowels, consonants, and embodied consent as tools for presence, arousal, and erotic reverberation.

Silent sex is often a habit of circumstance and, for many, vocalizing can feel “unnatural.” Yet, the body is an acoustic instrument and our nose, nipples, and genitals are all lined with erectile tissue, ready for sound, breath, and vibration to serve as activators. Like a vibrator, a blindfold, or a cock ring, bringing sound into sexual play and exploration enhances sensory arousal and can be a wonderful addition to have in your pleasure chest.

Sound doesn’t have to be big to make a big impact and when offered invitation, pleasure finds its voice.

Over our two hours together, we’ll explore:

The profound connection between sound, breath, and sexuality
How to connect to your “noises” in a way that feels good, not forced
The relationship between mouth, throat, pelvis, and genitals
The sweet spot between silence and “dirty talk”, where sounds and tones can rewire your erotic expression and connect you more deeply to yourself and your partner
The applied science of sound to boost nitric oxide, a vital player in erectile function and blood flow

You’ll leave with:
Somatic practices to help get out of your head and into your body when “turn-on” isn’t automatic
A new drawer in your pleasure chest rich with playful additions that don’t require batteries, lube, or clean-up
An awakened erotic relationship to your own sounds
Simple, shareable ways to support arousal, regulate nervous systems, and bring sound into consent, connection, and erotic presence — whether for yourself, your partner, or someone you work with

Whether you’ve been silently self-pleasuring for decades or want to level up your partnered play with a little more moan and meaning this is for you. Come alone, come with a lover, come with curiosity.

No previous vocal training needed, just a body, a breath, and a willingness to explore.

We can’t wait to make some sounds with you!
