Guided by the incredible sexological bodyworker and pleasure expert: Iva Samina, we explored the uncharted territory of pleasure and self-discovery, from yoni mapping to mutual masturbation. This wasn’t your typical wellness retreat. Spoiler: we laughed, we climaxed, and we left changed. Curious? Stick around. And for the uncensored extra material that didn’t make the cut, find it here on JOYclub—because, let’s be honest, you want all the details.
By Amanda from Playful TV
When the two journalists Amanda and Filip Sandström Beijer moved to Berlin they were seeking a platform that introduced the city to them without blur. Even though there were many incredible platforms and magazines, they wanted something else, something that focused on the people behind the projects, this search finally lead to the creation of Playful Magazine – an ongoing celebration of the city that gives space for conscious, smart and creative people who are setting a social tone more than just living an individual lifestyle. A tone where freedom and passion are essential and which is also outspoken as to what politics we will accept, thus making a good example of a democratic and conscious society for the rest of the world.
1. Unlearning Shame: The Pleasure Revolution
Why have most people gone through phases when touching yourself felt like a guilty secret when it should be second nature? That’s where this session flipped the script. Forget candles and clichés; this was about reclaiming pleasure as a basic human right.
We started with the basics: mapping the spots you never knew could melt you (hello, G-spot, A-spot, and that elusive P-spot.. amongst so many more). Led by Iva—a powerhouse of tantric knowledge—this wasn’t just about anatomy; it was about unpacking all the BS we’ve been taught about our bodies. With me I had two experts, Ana Ornelas and Alexis Smiley Smith.
“I see you and let’s create a safe room for us to explore”, she said, as if reading our thoughts. And honestly? Then we got naked—metaphorically and literally—and the shame that was left just... dissolved.

2. Warm-Up Isn’t Optional (It’s a Game-Changer)
Here’s the thing about women’s arousal: it’s not a switch you can flick. It’s more like starting an old-school record player—slow and steady wins the race.
Breast massages, light touch, and intentional breathing were our warm-ups. Iva called it “building safety,” but it felt like setting the scene for something bigger. We weren’t just waking up our bodies; we were getting in sync—with
ourselves and each other.
And then came the aha moment: pleasure isn’t just physical; it’s deeply emotional. You can’t rush it, and when you let go of the clock, it hits differently.
- G-spot: About 2 inches inside, upper wall—think spongy, textured.
- A-spot: Deeper than the G—your best-kept secret.
- P-spot: Posterior fornix—Google it. You’ll thank us later.
And so many more spots that she guided us through that left my mind...
But you can probably find them in the extra material.
3. The Circle: Masturbation as Connection
Picture this: three women sitting in a circle, talking about touch. Then, slowly but surely, we started touching ourselves. It sounds wild—and it was—but not in the way you think.
This wasn’t performative. There were no expectations, no shame, and no competition. When we were going towards the end, Ana casually said, “I just want to cum,” we all cracked up—and then we did. Together.
It felt raw and primal, but also... liberating? Like breaking the fourth wall on your own body. And when we were done, we sat there, laughing, talking, and holding space for whatever feelings came up—because pleasure isn’t just about orgasms; it’s about being fully, unapologetically you.
Pleasure is Power
This wasn’t just a workshop—it was a reminder that pleasure is power. Whether it’s through yoni mapping, mutual masturbation, or just giving yourself permission to explore, the takeaway is simple: your body deserves
your attention.
