• S4 | E5 What Kind of Responses Do I Like? Let’s Talk About Sexy Pics, Respect, and Emotional Growth
    May 19 2025

    Today’s question comes from a follower:

    “What kind of responses to your sexy pics do you prefer?”

    And while that might seem like a simple question, my answer is anything but.

    I’m diving deep into how my views on attention, sensuality, and online expression have changed, mainly as I’ve processed past abuse, found a committed relationship rooted in respect, and done the emotional work of reclaiming my body and voice.

    This episode is for the men who follow me, admire women, and want to express their sexuality without shame. They also want to understand what it means to truly be respectful, emotionally aware, and in integrity with the relationships they’re building.

    I’m talking about objectification vs admiration, consent, emotional safety, the shifting cultural tide around women’s rights, and how men can show up better, online and in real life.

    If you’re ready to think differently about desire, digital behavior, and the kind of partner you want to be, this conversation is for you.

    Is it weird... or just sexy?

    In today’s episode of Here Comes Sunshine, I will answer a follower's question about pantyhose, turn-ons, kinks, and embracing your unique erotic blueprint. What matters most isn’t what turns everyone on; it’s what turns you on, and whether you can find someone who honors that.
