Eros in Everyday Life: Finding Sensuality in the Mundane

Let’s get one thing straight: when I say eros, I’m not just talking about sex. Eros, in its deepest sense, is life energy. It’s the aliveness that pulses through you when you feel pleasure, connection, creativity, and presence. It’s what makes you want to dance, write poetry, touch skin, or savor a ripe peach like it’s an act of devotion.

And guess what? You don’t have to wait for a romantic getaway or a tantric retreat to access it. (Though I’m a fan of both.)

Eros is right here. In your kitchen. In your morning shower. In the way sunlight spills across your floor.

I used to treat sensuality like a luxury. Something reserved for “special” occasions—if all the dishes were done, the to-do list was finished, and I was feeling particularly inspired (which, let’s be honest, doesn’t happen all that often). But living that way left me dried out, going through the motions. Productive, yes. Passionate? Not so much.

Then I started experimenting. What would happen if I brought sensuality into the mundane?

Turns out, a lot.

Washing my hands became a little ritual. I slowed down, noticed the feel of water running over my skin, the soft lather of soap, the scent of lavender. Eating a piece of fruit—yes, a plain ol’ tangerine—became a sensual experience when I peeled it slowly, felt the juice on my fingertips, tasted each bite like I’d never tasted citrus before.

Even vacuuming (don’t laugh) became oddly satisfying when I put on a playlist that made my hips want to move. I wasn’t performing. I wasn’t seducing anyone. I was just being in my body. And it felt good.

This is what I mean by finding eros in everyday life. It’s not about adding more tasks—it’s about shifting how you do what you already do. With intention. With awareness. With pleasure.

You don't have to earn your way to embodiment. You’re allowed to feel turned on by life just because you’re alive.

So here’s my invitation to you:
The next time you brush your teeth, do it slowly. Feel the texture of the bristles. Notice the taste of the toothpaste. Sway a little while you do it. Light a candle at dinner—even if it’s just takeout. Wear something soft against your skin. Take a walk and really feel your feet on the earth.

Your senses are doorways. And pleasure is not a reward—it’s a resource.

Living erotically isn’t about escaping reality. It’s about infusing reality with presence. With curiosity. With a sense of reverence for the sacredness of being here, in a body, on this spinning planet, for just a little while.

Want help reconnecting to your sensual self? That’s exactly what I guide people through in my sessions. Whether it’s mindful intimacy, tantric touch, or simply learning how to be at home in your own skin again—I’m here for it.
