“Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with erotica. Blame it on the pre-internet era of the local LAN network which connected computers in my neighborhood and a mysterious user named “Cop” who generously opened access to his enormous archive of untitled .mov files with adult movies which I was entertained by and shocked by at times for years to come. Or late-night soft-core erotiqué stories on the RenTV channel I discovered while on vacation, getting to the hotel earlier than my parents did. Or accidentally seeing the glimpses of affection between my parents which showed me that being intimate with your partner is healthy and beautiful.

On the flip side, there were formative years of school, with the school system reflecting the authoritarian, character-crushing regime of the state. I was a kind-hearted misfit who was expressing herself through makeup and clothing. When I came to school wearing red lipstick and red high-heeled shoes for Valentine's Day, I was met with comparisons to a prostitute by the school officials. I was made clear that my WORTH as a person and student was reduced to my look and compliance with the system. I dedicated those challenging teenage years to fighting the system and protecting myself and others who suffered from oppression by a close-minded society for simply being themselves. 

Those experiences plus my natural curiosity made me question the status quo. Why are my body autonomy and self-expression being challenged, labeled, or shamed? Why is there so much “bad” depiction of intimacy and a woman’s body — vulgar, tasteless, male-gazed? Why are we ashamed to talk about something that brings us so much pleasure?

I became passionate about finding answers. I found them through photography, art, articles, podcasts, books, movies, and poetry that bring a truly different perspective — on sexuality, femininity, and eroticism. I see a woman as a sacred goddess, the Greek nymph — fully in control and at peace with her sexual energy, the vital energy that creates life (literally and figuratively speaking). This is how the name ‘nympho life’ came about. I started writing my own narrative on how sexuality can be shown — by founding the community on Instagram dedicated to erotic photography and art. This community grew into something bigger than just curated content. It became a safe space for people to learn, ask questions, and share personal experiences. I learned a lot along the way too. And it became much more than my outlet for self-expression and sharing inspiration."
