PAUSE, Pleasure & Peace: Decolonizing Celibacy is a radical offering.

A sex-positive, pro-PAUSER guide to celibacy as a pathway to peace, power, and pleasure in a world that has tried to silence, shape, and shame our bodies.

Written with bold intimacy and revolutionary clarity, PAUSE Book invites readers to reimagine celibacy not as deprivation, but as a conscious return to self.

How the Story Is Told:

The author uses a blend of:

  • Reflective storytelling
  • Memoir-like personal moments
  • Cultural commentary
  • Responses to real social media posts and conversations
  • And reflective questions to help readers design their own PAUSE.


These tools create a conversational, intimate reading experience that allows readers or PAUSERS to see themselves reflected, challenged, and cared for.

Whether it's a story from the author's own life, a summary of a viral post, or a quiet moment of reflection, every page becomes a mirror. Readers are guided to ask deeper questions about desire, identity, autonomy, and healing. PAUSE Is Not Neutral.

It's intentional. It's disruptive. It's liberatory.

At its core, PAUSE Book is a deprogramming tool-an invitation to untangle ourselves from:

  • Colonialism
  • Racism
  • Sexism
  • Ableism
  • Heteronormativity
  • Monogamy-as-default
  • Xenophobia
  • Homophobia
  • Religious shame and purity culture


These systems have long dictated how we access our bodies, our pleasure, our power, and our peace. PAUSE calls bullshit on all of it.

PAUSE is anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-colonialist, anti-ableist, anti-homophobic, anti-xenophobic, anti-heteronormative. It's also radically sex-positive, pleasure-filled, pro-liberation, pro-choice, and pro-PAUSER.

Celibacy here isn't framed as moral high ground. It's framed as a sacred reclamation-of consent, sovereignty, desire, and truth.

Whether you're in the:

  • Boudoir
  • Classroom
  • Workplace
  • Dancehall
  • Family room
  • Relationship (or not)


PAUSE is about choosing yourself on purpose, in every space. Who Is This Book For?

  • Those who are curious about celibacy outside of purity culture
  • People healing from burnout, over-sexualization, or relationship trauma
  • Black, queer, disabled, fat, femme, and marginalized folks seeking sovereignty
  • Anyone ready to explore celibacy as a form of rest, resistance, and ritual.


PAUSE, Pleasure & Peace: Decolonizing Celibacy is a genre-defying, deeply personal, politically rooted guide to celibacy that:

  • Centers the PAUSER
  • Honors the complexity of pleasure and power
  • Offers a liberatory roadmap back to self

Autorenporträt
Ami, The Celibate Sex Goddess, is a sex-positive, pro-slut, celibate sex goddessyes, all of that, and no, it's not a contradiction. A Black woman over fifty, mother, grandmother, and lifelong student of love, pleasure, and self-sovereignty, Ami has spent more than three decades practicing and un-practicing celibacy, and a lifetime exploring (and unlearning) what it means to be whole, worthy, and free.

A survivor of many things, Ami holds a B.A. in Communication from Trinity Washington Universitywhere she focused on journalism and the depictions of Black women, families, and culture in mediaand an M.A. in Communication: Producing Film, Television, and Video from American University. Her work and her life are rooted in storytelling, truth-telling, boundary-setting, and deep intrapersonal healing and connection.

Through her practice of PAUSE, Ami invites readers to reclaim their power, pleasure, and peacebeyond shame, beyond societal conditioning, and beyond the myth that celibacy is the absence of desire. For her, celibacy is not deprivationit's liberation. It's a practice of self-love, clarity, and connection that honors both body and spirit, inside and outside of the bedroom.
