brush them off and they’re gone forever.
Skin brushing not only clears toxins and dead skin from the surface of your body, it also stimulates your blood and lymph vessels—both of which remove toxins and other debris from your cells. Do skin brushing at least once every day during your dietary cleanse; you may be surprised by how revitalized you feel after such a simple technique. With a soft scrub brush, use gentle, firm strokes to cover as much of your body as possible, always brushing toward your chest. (To most effectively enhance detoxification, it’s best to encourage the circulation of your lymphatic fluids in the direction of your heart.) Brush from your hands toward your shoulders, and from your feet toward your pelvis; upward from your abdomen and lower back toward your heart; and downward from your neck toward your heart. As an alternative to dry-skin brushing, you can use a loofah sponge or exfoliating glove in the shower.
Conclusion: Putting the Great Sex Lifestyle into Action
In this chapter, you’ve explored three highly significant aspects of your health and sexuality: your diet, exercise habits, and ability to detoxify. You’ve seen the vast difference that each can make in your overall health and your capacity for sexual pleasure.
We began this chapter by reflecting on the notion that great sex is your birthright, but with an important caveat: you ultimately have to choose it. As you move ahead, you can use the tools you’ve just discovered to make choices that will maximize the effects of everything else you gain from this book—whether it’s new exercises, acupressure points, specific aphrodisiacs, or any other way of enhancing your sexuality or health. So let’s continue moving forward; the journey has only just begun, and there’s much more to discover. …
Your Phenomenal Feminine Organs
Your sexual organs, the centerpiece of your pelvis, are a wonder of nature, unique in their elegance, complexity, and capacity to bring you to shivering heights of sensual pleasure and profound feelings of spiritual connection and love. With their ability to expand and contract, respond and recoil, welcome and release, they’re delightfully dualistic; partly external and partly internal, both seen and unseen, closely known yet secretive and mysterious. In Chinese medical terms, they’re both yang (outward, in the light, “hot,” and intense), and yin (inward, dark, cool, and protected). Let’s take a closer look at each of your precious sex organs:
— Your vulva. The beautiful outer portion of your feminine organs, your soft, velvety vulva suggests the shape of an orchid in bloom. The term vulva encompasses your labia majora (the large outer lips along the entrance to your vagina), labia minora (your thinner, inner vaginal lips), vaginal opening, external clitoris, and urethral opening. Your vulva contains thousands of nerve endings, includes glands that allow for vaginal lubrication, and provides a protective covering for your inner structures and organs. Your vulva also includes your mons veneris (Latin for “mountain of Venus”), the soft mound over your pubic bone.
— Your clitoris. Perhaps the single clearest anatomical proof that you’re meant to enjoy your sexuality, your clitoris has but one purpose: to give you pleasure. (It may be no coincidence that the words clitoris and climax share a common Indo-European root.) Resting partly on the outside of your body yet nestled inside your protective external labia and hidden beneath its hood, your clitoris contains highly specialized, delicate tissue and between 6,000 and 8,000 touch-sensitive nerve endings—a staggeringly dense concentration compared to other similarly sized parts of your body.
Dictionaries typically define the clitoris as a “small” erectile organ, but you may be surprised and delighted to learn that your clitoris is much larger and more extensive than what you can see externally. Many women believe that the clitoris
