Welcome to Big Time Sensuality!
I’m really happy you’re here. My name is Ev’Yan Whitney. I’m a sexuality doula, somatic practitioner, and author of the book Sensual Self. I also host a podcast of the same name.
I’ve been writing, thinking, talking, and ruminating about sex/sexuality, pleasure, love, queerness, gender identity, and embodiment on the internet for many years (since 2008 officially). Big Time Sensuality is a deeper, more intimate glimpse into those realms.
Big Time Sensuality is a cross between a living memoir and an intentionally curated manual to help you prioritize the pleasures of your senses on a regular basis. We’ll explore themes of sexual liberation, somatic awareness, pleasure activism, sensual living, authentic relating, and body connection.
Personally, I’ll use this space to process with words/feelings what I’m learning about what it means to be, feel, heal, and take up space with my body, (a)sexuality, nonbinariness, Blackness, and nuances.
Big Time Sensuality is more than a newsletter—it’s a standard of aliveness, pleasure, and self-connection that I aspire to daily. It’s also the title of one of my favorite Björk songs (if you haven’t ever heard it, you should; it’s a bop!).
Big Time Sensuality will be a space where you and I can feel ourselves.
Other things I’ll be offering here:
Monthly playlists to move + feel to
Audio readings
Practices to help you get into your body + pleasure
Musings and life updates that I won’t share anywhere else
I want this space to be just as much of an invitation for me to enjoy life through the senses as it is for you. Maybe we can learn about each other as we learn about ourselves.
If you want to support the work of a Black, queer, nonbinary person and get tips on how you can feel yourself more, become a $7/mo subscriber.
Note that you must become a paid subscriber to get full access to my letters, including previous ones you might’ve missed.
I’m excited to share more of myself with you and connect with you in this new way.
