In 1967, during the Summer of Love, I was a teenager who spent a lot of time in our bathtub in Berkeley, California, masturbating. “Free Love” did not turn out to be quite so free, but in many ways that decade did change the world! Plenty that we take for granted came into Western Culture at that time, including Tantra and Taoist erotic teachings. That laid the groundwork for my own discovery, much later, of what became Mindful Masturbation.
