V is for Valentines Day
Dear Ones,On Valentines Day I will be part of an sexy, erotic poetry reading on zoom with friends that is produced by Dance Naked friend, Eleanor O'Brien. Join me on V day Zoom TabooAnd write your own poem. Hell, when I was an English major in college I thought you had to be White, Dead and a Man (and English) to write a poem. Maybe a dry one. Prove them wrong, my Friends, write a poem and put it up on your door!Also, extravagant whore friend, Kaytlin Bailey is on the road with her show Whor...
I woke up naked this morning
Thank goodness! Lovingly I spend at least 1/3 of my life naked...or more. Feeling the ocean wash up my pussy is a birthright--right?--we're 94% salt water!And the moss--so squishy! Traveling to Baja California Sur, my Mexican friend tells me about 'sobre mesa,' or 'over the table.' Here you sit and talk after a meal...have another coffee or drink...another appetizer....and sometimes even stay for the next meal. Such is the importance of 'conversarse.' Visiting the USA...
Wishing you a Mossy, Mossy Christmas
Dear Patreons here's some VICTORIES for Sex workers in 2023:* Vermont enacted the nation’s most comprehensive ban on police sexual violence.* Rhode Island enacted a law to prohibit health-care professionals from discriminating against sex workers (and others) because of their professions.* The arrest of the Gilgo Beach serial murderer gave a huge boost to DSW’s bill to permit sex workers in New York State to report crimes without fear of arrest.* The Rhode Island study commission recomme...
Patreon White Christmas Wish
Dear Patreons,As we approach the year's end most of us take stock in what it has brought us, how we've grown, what we learned from another circle around the sun. I share with you a song I sang with my Dad on Christmas Eve when I was in college at our small Unitarian Church, where all seasonal greetings were welcome, as well all aspiring young musician.In this season, I like to go back over my year's notes and recognize people who have gifted me insights, touch, kindness and generosit...
Hello Peru
My friends, I just returned from a month in Peru and it feels like a year. Europeans travel like that. They get twice the vacation time. The altitude here at Lake Titicaca is over 12,000 ft and I am on the edge. Back at sea level in Lima, I find a children's book store and the books are just the right level for my Spanish! Here's oneI love, Your Body is Yours.It's In its 11th edition! We are learning all over the world to take care of ourselves and decide who touches us and how. For ...
I got a game for you
It's Halloween, time to spoof a friend. Try this game. Start by making a list: What kind of traits describe who I am? What are my qualities? Who is me? Quickly, don't over-think it, take 30 seconds and list 4 or 5 things that YOU ARE. Try it now. Got your "this is me list?" I came up with this for me: I am efficient, tidy, like to get things done, organized, and want to look pretty. Now that you got your I AM list, write a second list, I AM NOT: list things that you are NOT, trai...
Prostitute or Sex Worker?
I brought the first steamy moisture to Austin in over 2 months of 100 degree dry days. Yes, it rained the whole time I performed Naked at My Age there last week. A medical doctor came up after one show, “I could treat the Stars, but I choose to treat the Whores.” Yes, sex workers seek out her positive attitude.After my Portland show this month, I recognized Rep. Nosse in the audience who championed a statewide study of sex work in Oregon—which the Governor VETOED. Ugh! She wanted more disc...
Why Whores are my Heroes, my poem!
I just love wearing my whore hat and cape playing Super Whore on stage in Naked at My Age. My girlfriend said I should sell whore hats in the lobby after the show, along with bumper stickers with my anthem, "If my panties aren't WET, they don't come off." I am going to make bumper stickers, maybe a cop will pull me over!Here's a ticket link for Portland's show, Sept 9, and two performances in awesome AUSTIN, Texas, Sept 13 and 14 tickets. I wish you all could come, if you...
It's harvest time, eat a juicy peach!
Dear Ones, you have inspired me. Bite into a juicy peach, and let it drip down your chin unto your chest and nipples...then have a friend lick it off! It's harvest time of year--share the abundance!Heres a letter from a Catholic Priest who celebrates the Living God each time he orgasms.A Catholic Priest thanks God when cummingAn 85 year old Catholic priest from Holland found a copy of my book, Erotic Massage, in Amsterdam (translated into Dutch). He emailed to congratulate me, and all erotic...
Power and Surrender--Let's play
I talk with my old partner Melissa who now is Austin's sex and intimacy teacher at BodyJoy Remember cops and robbers, teacher and student, captor and captive--when did we stop playing in sex? When can we start again? And we can even switch roles--halfway through the game if agreed! Make a play date and you each get 30 minutes to lay out your scene and get a green light to play (or agree to some timeframe and hold to it). And you can always change your mind at any point. Let me know how it go...
Summer is for Nudity
Time to be Naked! My friend, Eleanor O’Brian, who frolics nude a lot on her Patreon, reminds me to swim, dance, yoga and breathe—Naked. Here I am practicing on my friends deck! Past Client Story:The words we use are important. Words are powerful. A man comes to see me after losing his wife to a long illness. He told her before her death, “I won’t be sexual with anyone else because I won’t be able to get erect.” And it became true.Years later, I helped him renegotiate his unfair and o...
Charla is Naked again in Portland
After touring with Naked at My Age Down Under, I'm back in Portland at the Back Door Theatre tonight, Friday, June 23. Every time I tell stories of my sexual awakening and the value of sex work I chip away at the mortar of prejudice and misunderstanding. I've rewritten it to be even more vulnerable; I love aging, we nothing to loose. Wish me luck, I'll play again Sept 9 in PDX, and looking for other towns! Patreons, I carry you in my Heart! You are on my team and I love it! Miss Char...
Charla's Lingerie Show
I was just gifted a beautiful 'teddy' lingerie and wanted to share it with you lovely Patreons. I highly suggest you dress in something that makes you feel sexy, and have a friend capture your deliciousness. I'm in my bedroom here, but outside in nature works too. Maybe next post! The roses are blooming--luscious early summer to you! Teasingly, Miss Charla
Down Dog Down Under
One small Down Dog for the Universe! I remember the New Zealand Tasman sea rolling between my toes and body! Rejoice, Patreons, some small favor for Universal Pleasure! Lovingly, Miss Charla
G'day Mates
I had a ‘massive’ good time with Aussies and Kiwis when I popped Down Under! Now I know a jumper is a sweater, cutlery is silverware, Bottlow is a liquor store, but really…erasers are rubbers?!” Good on me for learning that one.So our Australian Shepard dogs are not from Australia, and Koalas are not bears (but cute), and born the size of jelly beans, live 5 months in a Mother’s pouch (marsupials), come out, eat Eucalyptus leaves, and sleep 20 hours a day. Little Kiwi birds, bless thei...
Tasman Sea Mermaid
I thought this was included in my last post. Yay! Charla
Tasman Sea Mermaid
Ocean covers our body planet like skin covers our body. Welcoming and salty. Greeting from the east coast of New Zealand. Here's one of my best interviews, and it's on National radio New Zealand! I'm a lucky girl to talk about sex, sex work aging, intimacy and the joy of being authentic to a national audience! Last performance last night sold out!I'm cracking open oysters with a rock on the beaches in the Northlands of New Zealand (Whangarei)! Gorgeous here and beaches have NO pe...
Naked Siren sited in the Tasman Sea
Anyone recognise this nymph frolicking off the west coast of New Zealand by Mokau? A long way from home, or is it for the adventuresome!I got to meet the woman who lead the decriminalisation of sex work 20 years ago in New Zealand, Dame Catherine Healy. Yes Queen Elizabeth 'Dame-ed' her, just like you'd 'Sir' a man (Sir Paul McCarthy). I enjoyed an evening with Catherine, who heads up the New Zealand Sex Workers Collective and does a good job of educating for sex workers righ...
Naked in New Zealand
This Kiwi country decriminalised sex work 20 years ago! Gee, that would have made my life easier! My show 'Naked at my Age' is a hit down here, I got a national radio interview both in Australia and New Zealand. And also good print in major papers, like the Herald in New Zealand. I love it here. They see the USA as the world's largest experiment in democracy--and the verdict is still out! EVERYONE down here wishes us well. What we do matters!On national radio I got to talk about sex ...
Australia is treating me well!
Being in the 'Down Under' is a little like the 'down there,' (which is what I called my genitals until I learned their real name), it's moist, wonderful and inviting! I performed a benefit of 'Naked at My Age,' for the Aboriginal Decolonize Sex Work Alliance in Brisbane. And performing at the Adelaide Fringe Festival I passionately spread the word, "Sex work is adult and consensual. It needs to be made more safe and we need to stop criminalising sex workers and th...
Naked at My Age: 30 sec Teaser
Charla sings, jokes, and pontificates about the joys of sex work in this short teaser of her one-woman show.I'm loving Australia—“No worries, Mate, just scoot me an email and pop right over, we’ll knock one out.” I’m performing Naked at My Age this week at Sydney’s queer-run theater, The Red Rattler, and looking at my play script with new ‘gender-conscious’ eyes. I’m learning to use pronouns, ‘they, them’ with my queer Aussie, non-binary friends, and feel blessed to lea...
Swing Low Sweet Chariot
Greetings from the Down Under, I'm in Australia now. Growing up I called my genitals "Down There." So I guess I'm close. Why does the full moon looks up-side-down from here? I'll be performing at the Red Rattler soon--a woman run theater! Everyone down here says, "No worries!" So I won't.On my way across the Pacific, I stopped in Kona, Hawaii, and performed 'Naked at My Age' at the Dragonfly Ranch’s gorgeous outdoor theater. Yes, that's the oceanI wa...
Naked Swim in a Cenote
The longest night finds us awaiting the coming lightWe have traveled another circle around the sunWe travel afar—to come homePursue dreams—to find peaceSeek the summer—to fall backDwell in Darkness to find a new LightDear Patreons, the air in the Yucatan is embracingly kind, and invites you to sleep naked. The sunrise sky, baby pink and blue, peaks through my open glass patio. Rising early, I bicycle to the beach to find other ‘sunrise worshippers’ in our expansive 'cathedral' ...
Charla swimming in a cenote in the Yucatan
I am enjoying the clear, mineral waters of a pervasive system of rivers and pools know as cenotes, that can be connected for miles both above and below the the surface of the ground. Mexico's Yucatan peninsula has over 1,000 cenotes to enjoy in the tropical Mayan jungle. And Swimming naked is the best!
Charla teases you with "Naked at My Age"
Dearest Patreons! I have the most exciting tour of Australia and New Zealand planned for my one-woman show on sex work. Here's a 30 second teaser. Can't wait to take you all on tour to kangaroo country with me! All aboard--starts January! Charla sings "be a Whore at 54!"
Will a G-spot massage save the world?
After a decade of Tantra workshops one would think World Peace is just a g-spot massage away. Gee, does she even want one? Can you ask? Can you answer? Melissa, who I mentored as the new Miss BodyJoy, and I get to talk about it.And I had another great time talking about sex--in a sauna with strangers--enjoy my story...Strangers talk about Sex in a Sauna!I sought out the sauna at the YMCA (!) seeking warmth when the weather turned cold. i said 'hi' to a woman on the lower bench, and we st...
Pornography Pros and Cons
As a sex and Intimacy coach I decided since porn is a big part of today’s sex scene, I’d better know more about it, so I spent a good couple months watching…lots. Very interesting experiment, I didn’t even need a vibrator. Instead of trying to answer whether pornography is good or bad, I decided you need to know 1) what porn will and will not do for you 2) how to find the good stuff 3) and how to watch it.Porn can kickstart a hot sexual encounter, or get in your way of having good sexual...
Peter Pan comes to see me.
Enjoy my audio story about a young man's fantasy. Expressing our 'hidden selves' creates fodder for sexual arousal and pleasure.Halloween brings out playfulness. In Key West I attended the anual October Fantasy Fest. People paint their naked bodies creatively and take to the streets. We have more in common than we think. Welcome the Dark season with open arms.
The Kissing Game
I love teaching the Kissing Game, such a simple way to learn more about a partner. And kissing is our erotic signature. I hope you try it out on a friend!A client suggested I share some client stories from my 20 years as an Erotic Muse/ Healer. Great idea, thanks! I'll share these heartfelt, vulnerable stories with each month. Here's my priest friend:A Catholic Priest thanks God when CummingAn 85 year old Catholic priest from Holland found a copy of my book, Erotic Massage, in Amsterdam ...
