Make Out Book

The Make Out Book is envisioned as a deck of cards, a coffee table book.  Its meant to become a short hand - a communication tool - to your partner, to yourself.  The 'instructions" are a poem like dance to inspire.  There are insights and objectives to help explain the idea behind the dance.  Ultimately, it is meant to inspire and assist with getting us in touch with ourselves and each other in healthy ways that honor and respect our connectedness. 

Find these dances/poems in the sub menu of MOB called 'The Make Outs'

Excited to have this posted now and to continue to add to the collection!

The Beginning. 

The Make Out Book was birthed in May of 2019.  I don't know why.  Its not like I'm an expert.  At that point in my life, I was in a long term happy marriage and enjoyed a long term sex life with him.  We had navigated a major affair period. He had one then I had one to normalise the incongruence. We stayed together.  It was challenging time. But we loved each other and we had a lot vested in staying together.  Then we morphed into an "I'd rather not know" period. It stayed way in the background until my awakening that began in 2022.  

In sharing some of these things, please know I don't hate my first.  I love him.  There are many layers to a long term relationship of friendship, intimacy, safety, family, parenting, business, success.  We weathered many storms together.  There was just this layer that lived in the shadows.  It was my journey.  And this is my story.  

When the concept of the Make Out Book was birthed, I had a lot of excitement and a lot of ideas flowed.  I talked with several friends over the next year or two about making this book, but it never found any real momentum.  Life was happening as well at breakneck speeds.  COVID.  Then separation. Divorce. My sister's long term illness and death.  

Today, July 2025, I've decided its time and i'm just going to post the concept an initial draft and let them live in the inter-webs and see what comes of this.  Ultimately, it'll continue to be my healing and learning that morphs as a result.  And maybe it helps someone along the way.  

It will be bold, silly, profound, erotic, and my intention is healing.  

If there is a mission/vision of this work at this point it is this: 

Healing the trauma and dogma around physical touch
