Growing up in Utah, immersed in the culture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), my understanding of sex and intimacy was heavily shaped by its teachings. Within the church, intimacy was seen as sacred but highly regulated—reserved for marriage, primarily for procreation, and rarely discussed openly. Like many others raised in this environment, I wrestled with guilt, shame, and a lack of tools to navigate my desires.
Now, as a 40-year-old man living in a more progressive state, my perspective has transformed. While I respect the role religion plays in many people’s lives, I have found that for me, spirituality and religion are different paths. Spirituality allows me to explore self-discovery and connection without the constraints I once felt. This shift ultimately led me to create Royal Sins, an online adult store that celebrates guilt-free, shameless intimacy and connection.
A Journey to Reclaim Intimacy
Leaving the LDS Church was a pivotal moment in my life. While I don’t harbor resentment toward the church—understanding that religion serves as a source of strength for many—I found that spirituality resonated more deeply with me. It offered the freedom to question, explore, and redefine my beliefs, especially around intimacy.
Through this journey, I began to see intimacy not as something to fear or restrict, but as a vital part of connection and self-expression. This transformation was gradual, shaped by introspection, education, and the voices of others who had navigated similar paths.
Inspiration from Thought Leaders
A significant turning point in my journey was discovering individuals who speak openly about sexuality and intimacy in ways that challenge societal norms. These voices helped me break free from the stigmas I had internalized:
- Kim Anami: A holistic sex and relationship coach who promotes sexual mastery and the transformative power of sexual energy. Her teachings helped me see intimacy as a tool for empowerment and connection.
- Kimi Inch: A somatic therapist specializing in conscious kink and sensuality. Her work taught me to embrace desires without judgment, focusing on boundaries and mutual respect.
- Jonathan White: A Taoist practitioner who teaches sexual energy cultivation for vitality and personal growth. His insights helped me integrate intimacy into a broader sense of spiritual well-being.
Listening to these voices was liberating. They offered not only practical advice but also a new framework for understanding intimacy as a celebration of connection, trust, and joy.
All Are Invited to Explore a Guiltless and Shameless Experience
At Royal Sins, our mission is to create a space where everyone—regardless of their background—can explore intimacy without guilt or shame. Whether you’ve left a religion, are seeking to enhance your relationships, or simply want to learn more about yourself, you’re invited to visit the best online adult store for products that promote connection and well-being.
Intimacy isn’t just about toys. It’s about cultivating connection, fostering trust, and finding joy in the moments we share with ourselves and our partners. That’s why we curate a range of products designed to help you feel more in touch with your body and your relationships.
Going on this journey has also fostered an unrealized connect to the LBGTQ+ world as well. Religion teaches that these practices are from "the dark side", satanic, or wrong. In all honesty I used to judge people who chose a different form of sexuality. Now I realize how wrong that was and that people of any background crave the same thing I do; connection.
Royal Sins actively promotes and upholds any humans rights to practice intimacy how they see fit because like it or not, we are all in this together!
