Autoerotism by Lisa Sonora Beam, from 1008 Meditations on the Human Condition

Autoerotism is defined as, “sexual pleasure derived from one’s own body”.

“The term was invented by Havelock Ellis and is most frequently used as a synonym for masturbation.”

That’s all well and good, but what I find more interesting is how “automatic writing and drawing” show up on the top of the page.

And how creativity and sexuality share the same chakra.

How do we choose to channel our creative energies?

Just today, an interviewer made reference to my book being a “baby”. That’s how I’ve always thought of my creations. As something I’ve nurtured within and given birth to.
