Professional Artist Paints With A Vibrator | HeART to HeART

[@Missokita]

Emily, thank you. I'm also SA victim who always hated my body. this is so important to hear, and I hope this will reach to as many people as it's possible. thank you for your courage and making me feal more comfortable in hard times. Love you and wish you the best ( to you and your family) take care, you're amazing, and I'm glad this channel exists

[@callanightshade8079]

Me too. I hope you've found some peace in your life ❤️ Much love to you and yours ❤️

[@riveramnell143]

I’m sorry for what you’ve had to go through. I hope that you have found love and peace within yourself, you so deserve it! ❤️

I thought she was going to smear paint onto a vibrator and paint with it I guess this makes more sense but now I miss the idea of a vibrator paintbrush

Same.

[@LeChapeauMusic]

I thought the same lol

[@PawsitivelyQuestionable]

Saw the title and my first thought was "Emily would make this video" and LO AND BEHOLD

[@bobatea1950]

i was actually taken aback -

[@jacklyntree7752]

Honestly I wish I thought to do this before!!

[@AdolosFlow]

Literally did the same 😂

[@wonderland4515]

SAME THO!! I read the title and for a quick second I was confused but then I just thought "Oh it's Emily she would totally do something like this" and I'm glad she did because everything this video stands for I love

[@makaylaserniotti1474]

Not necessarily related to my own sexuality here: but this was a good reminder to slow down and take care of what I need for myself. Thank you for that reminder, Emily.

[@SystemOfAClown]

im crying. ive never considered myself a SA victim but as i got older and grew up i realized that what ive experienced, wasnt right or normal. i relate so much to what you said starting at 2:20 where u said u had a toxic bf but u felt validated and worth because of them giving u attention and knowing that they desired you. I started crying because i was the same way growing up and i was so young and also doing sneaky things without my mom not knowing but also i was neglected at home and that was just one of my problems, but hearing those words and ur story from another person just hit home. i always love watching your videos and listening to your heartfelt stories, its nice to be heard. ❤️

[@TapiNova]

As an SA victim and someone who was forced to sell themselves.Hearing someone say how I have felt about my body and sexuality was comforting. It's hard to bring yourself back to something when it feels so ruined and broken. Thank you for this and as always your work is beautiful

[@nousernamefound.7]

Why is everyone trauma dumping in these comments? Just see a therapist or talk to a friend instead of posting this on the internet for *everyone* to read like… that’s mad weird. Also how can someone be ‘forced to sell themselves’ like… it’s either you’re being sold against your will or you sell yourself willingly.

[@Bootystank99659]

@@nousernamefound.7 you’re pretty dense and lack any empathy Sad

[@Hilolrat]

⁠@@nousernamefound.7Because this video has topics that hit home to a lot of people and empower people to tell their stories. Really, there’s no issue with op sharing their opinions on this video and how it connects to their life. It’s not out of nowhere or unprompted. They’re also not sharing grotesque or overly intense details. It’s not like it’s just a regular video and people are commenting stuff like “my mom died lol”. This is very different.

[@taylermuilenburg5029]

Dude..that’s kinda a insensitive comment.

[@Hilolrat]

@@taylermuilenburg5029 It’s really not.

[@night_owl365]

I think a lot of women have trouble with body and sexuality. I have experienced recent trauma and I relate to this video a lot. Thank you Emily. Glad to see you making videos again. 💜

[@recoveringsoul755]

Toys are great, if you change your mind part way through, they won't get mad at you (and neither should a person, but some do), they are ready whenever you are, you can ignore them for months, no diseases. Plus, you can explore what feels good to YOU, and then if you're ready for a partner, you can explain to them what you like. And they don't care what you look like. We are too hard on ourselves. I lost a breast to cancer, got to re-learn my new landscape. It took years, but was well worth it. When I tried to get back into dating, I discovered the men I was maybe interested in, they really didn't care. They were just happy to have a naked woman.

[@messytexy]

Hearing you talking about wanting that sexual approval because of low self-esteem and other traumas was so spot on for me

[@MissShembre]

Watching this all come together was really cool, especially with the "bloody" limbs turning into portals for pretty flowers.

[@Let-it-rainn]

So happy to see you back and posting again!!! I love you! Hope you’re doing well. Edit: hope da babes and your other kids, as well as your husband are doing well too :)

[@RatClowns]

As much as I love this vid, it feels weird to me as someone with really bad tremors which makes it extremely difficult to draw anymore. It is inspiring though, to see someone make such beautiful art with this unique "technique" haha

[@RatClowns]

(I don't mean that in a negative context btw, just wanted to clarify ♥️)

[@RainbowPandaProducti]

Hey! Idk if you’re looking for inspiration or if you already know but Stephasocks/Doodle Date’s Steph has been dealing with tremors for the past couple years and talks about it a lot on the Doodle Date channel! Just wanted to pass the word along if you wanted to check ‘em out! Wishing you the best :)

[@emilyartful]

@@RainbowPandaProducti I second this recommendation! Adam and Steph are my good friends and make such wonderful content!

[@RatClowns]

@@RainbowPandaProducti yeah! I love that she's more comphy talking about it now 😊

[@eenzamevriend7183]

I wonder if the vibrations of a vibrating pen or brush would somehow offset your tremors? I know this might seem strange but I race and I struggle to drive straight when I’m not driving fast so you would assume I’m a bad driver but I’m a bad slow driver and parallel Parker. I am however a great driver when I’m going fast. Sometimes I have to do things more extreme for them to work, or add in the opposite of what I think I need.

[@lavacattoonz]

This almost feels like a poem,thats how beautiful your story telling is Emily

[@faerykaye]

The spider walking across your art was very symbolic. Spiders represent femininity, especially "taboo" femininity. 🖤

[@starrienoir]

For some reason i kinda feel like telling a little of my story because this video and your story really resonated with me. I’m 22 years old now and I’m a survivor of SA, both as a child and as an adult. And I went through the same kind of thing that you did at a certain point; just kind of turned off my emotions towards sexuality and just…let things happen. I didn’t like myself, didn’t take care of myself, and just…kind of let people use me in more ways than one. It wasn’t safe and at some point I turned things around with myself, and focused more so on me. Things became easier with time, because I started doing things for me. I dressed the way I wanted to, I wore makeup the way I wanted, I drew and sang whatever I wanted, everything I ever did was for me. And that made doing things for others easier too. Being nicer to myself helped me be nicer to others, in a way. All of this to say, we tend to see sex as a taboo, both consenting and not (at least in my religious family) and being able to see through that and learn that my sexuality isn’t taboo or something to be super hush-hush about, it was a very liberating feeling. Seeing others that have similar stories makes me feel seen.

[@DTailorUK]

This is art. I remember my days during art college where we would draw a naked woman. Fashion students get it better. :D

[@jacklyntree7752]

I hope to do nude drawings in my art courses in my college, but if not nothing like myself and a mirror won't remedy

[@recoveringsoul755]

Apparently the computer AI assisted image generation won't allow nudity, so there should be no competition from the bots for that kind of art.

[@DTailorUK]

They should, how else are people need to accurately draw people?! Makes me wonder if the models get paid, too.

[@sophiarhoads1196]

@@DTailorUK they get paid very handsomely, at least where I go to school. I was in a figure drawing class last semester, and the models got paid $20 an hour. There's also a lot of rules in place to ensure they get treated respectfully, and the professor can only have them pose for a maximum of 20 minutes, so we had to take breaks pretty regularly. That's one of the reasons why figure drawing class is so stressful, you have to draw really quickly (because of the 20 min limit and because gesture drawing is an important skill to learn). As I type this I realize you probably know all that already because you did this in school too, but I figured I'd say it for other people's knowledge.

[@DTailorUK]

​@@sophiarhoads1196 I had the models pose for an hour, so we draw them for that long. I was told the college I was at, was a respectable college but this was years ago. Like 2005ish. I did get the rules of respect. I was told if any of us laugh, we get thrown out and we don't draw, like never. I also think they get some good models, too, so I suppose it makes sense they get paid for it. One time, the seat the model was sitting in was empty and the room of fashion student were sit there (almost mostly women). I ran in and jumped in the seat, posing and I told them to draw me. Then I stood up and the girls were yelling something at me, telling me to look out, then I felt something that hit my head. Apparently, my feet back pushed the chair back and it knocked the plain of wood, that was used as the backdrop and it stood on itself and fell on me. I rushed to put it back up and ran out. I suppose that's what I get for trying to take the spotlight. I'm surprised I've never told my college friends about that drama but I think they would have laughed at me but it was fun.

[@PaigeChristieUK]

Gorgeous- and I love the story. Felt like you were talking to my teen self ❤️

[@kayshachaos]

I love this video so much. For every single word you said. For this amazing piece. I'm so glad I gave myself a minute to watch. Thank you for always baring your inner self in a way that connects so many of us. 🖤🖤🖤

[@sickeningcherry9012]

I’m still in my teens and honestly I can relate to the feeling of not feeling wanted and having to please other people I barely know to receive affection. It’s really hard to seek love from others when you know you don’t love yourself. It’s stressful and feels awful. I hope I can get to the point you have soon. Love the art ✨💕

[@headerahelix]

I've been experiencing exactly this. Suddenly I couldn't climax, and honestly I still don't understand why but I did notice that "brain floating in space" feeling. I've been going through trauma therapy and wonder if that's part of it. Even the painting with your vibe, I'm struggling to put anything on paper. Maybe losing the control is what I need artistically. Just woke up from a nap where I was screaming about being unable to just express myself. Extremely interesting timing this video was for me.

[@meowunicorn7658]

Wow this painting is gorgeous! Everyone should explore themselves in as many ways as they possibly can. Im glad youre in a good place, hopefully others can do the same from you speaking up on this subject.

[@roxannestahl2596]

I love the connection between the art, story, supplies, and even the music.

[@Skittle2296]

I've been excited for this video since you brought it up on Twitter! This is such a lovely way to inform people about personal sexual health

[@jacklyntree7752]

Such imperfect timing because I've been on a nudity art mood for a few weeks now; using my nudes and recreating my body, making boob earrings, whatever to start loving myself and my artwork. After watching the video, I love the idea of you making more videos with the art and story mended together. For this one, your words about trying to please the gaze of others for that satisfaction makes me really look at myself, because even now I catch myself thinking the same way. I haven't had sexual interactions with anyone, but I also crave it, pulling me into being someone else. Sometimes I critic myself and ask, "what's wrong with me?" because I haven't "interested" anyone to like or love me.

[@adorablepandaring1975]

I’ve been watching you for years (you’re one of the reasons I got into watercolor) but I have to say this painting might be my favorite that you’ve ever done. Not only is it so beautiful on it’s own but paired with the message and story of the video it really has that extra meaning and beauty to it. I love this style of video and I relate a lot to the topic, so I hope you keep it up! Keep making great art and great content❤️❤️

[@Yourlocaltrashgoblin]

Ngl- saw the tittle and was like “welp I need to see how and wtf this is” I’m only like a min in and I think it’s really sweet so far :)

[@recoveringsoul755]

I love this message. After a mastectomy and realizing my husband didn't care about me, I had to learn my body all over again. It took years to get through the mental block, but when I did, I discovered things that were better than ever. I'm glad i didn't have any hangups about using toys. And I feel sexy again.

[@shekayart]

Not only is the art here brilliant, so is the commentary and the video itself as a whole piece of work. I've always loved your honesty and clarity about things in life, thank you for sharing your story with us along with your art!

[@dabycat1]

This video is so empowering, thank you for sharing your story. ❤ As someone who grew up with body dysmorphia and was shamed for my sexuality by family amongst other things it was hard for the longest time to feel comfortable expressing myself and I felt constant shame for normal human emotions. It wasn't until I met my current friend group who are all so open about their sexualities that I was finally able to embrace that side of myself and let go of the shame I held onto for years and also to accept my body the way it is. We live in a world where we're so often shamed for having natural human urges that we suppress them or others take advantage of us for their own pleasure. It's good to be more open for these things and to be able to talk about them in a safe, healthy and positive manner. Thank you for sharing your story. 💕💕

[@eleiaeliasidentitycrisis]

I sought out what I thought "excitement" was and for years, reasoned with myself that it was consensual and I wanted it. I still don't know what causes me more pain; the physical and emotional pain I set aside while in sexual relationships with others, and knowing now as an adult that my childhood ended at twelve by people who were late teenagers and young adults. I've spent all this time refusing to think about my body. I don't know how you found the strength to get this far but it's so wonderful seeing you thrive and I really hope I can get here someday.

[@aminuteinlife9503]

Such beautiful artwork, especially the shot at the end🥰

[@amysimonbiz]

Yay! I had a vibrator from another company and as it’s now been retired after serving myself well, I’m happy that you’re doing this. I just went and ordered something, so thanks Emily for the gift card! Much love and positive vibes from Montana. ✨💖✨

[@jacklyntree7752]

Hey, you don't need to answer of course, but have you received a message about your order since you placed it? I ordered a couple things a day after this video too, but I haven't gotten an update. I'm sure they got a big influx from this video and stuff, but I figured to ask a community member!

[@purplehaze2358]

I truthfully can’t pretend to understand your experiences. But I very much relate to you feeling highly insecure about your overall physique and relying on the approval, whether romantically or sexually, of others as a sort of toxic coping mechanism. I relate to letting anyone, no matter how awful, into your life to ward off the gnawing sense of insecurity and loneliness. I relate to a lot of other things that I, to be quite honest, don’t feel entirely comfortable sharing. This is all to say that, though our experiences no doubt differ heavily, I can learn by your example how to better a negative situation I’ve been trapped in. And I just wanted to say thank you for that.

[@toshabeans]

Thank you so much for sharing. If we all could speak so openly about our sexuality and vulnerability, the world would be a better place ❤🙏❤

[@NekoEijiKikumaru]

I found this video extremely comforting. Im struggling with my own bodys desires myself… The guilt and disgust over my needs is always there. It hurts both because i want happiness and have physical needs and both because i feel disgusted about it. This was extremely comforting. Especially because i havent seen any videos covering the topic in such an artistic and beautiful way. Thank you for this Emily

Keep being awesome I hope you and your family are well!🖤

[@crystallis4006]

It's great to see you again! I've been noticing quite the surgence in articles and experts on TV/the radio talking about sexuality and how important one's sexual health is, and I'm genuinely loving it. It's always been such an uncomfortable topic because of the social stigma surrounding it, and that kind of attitude only leaves people uninformed and possibly ashamed or afraid of the prospect of exploring their relationship with sex and sexual gratification. So seeing people attempting to deconstruct that stigma is awesome. It's high time we were able to talk about it. I'm glad you're doing well and I hope your boys are good too!

[@Ddrhl]

Lots of food for thought. And, thank you for ample time during your "outro" to really look at the finished art piece!

[@xsevilite]

This helped me quite a bit and got me to an understanding with myself I never got SA'd, but I was groomed by an older man for over 5 years. (My parents were aware and didn't intervene) And it was extremely damaging especially to my confidence and sex life since most of it was him telling me to change my body to suit his wants (I was a young teen and he was an adult) and especially in the middle of development, it caused an ED and just a fear of not "Being good enough" I over 6 years later and married, I have no sexual desire because I get anxious at the thought. I never get intimate with myself and I realized its because I still have the slight feeling that I HAVE to please someone else rather than myself and that my needs aren't as valuable in the bedroom.

[@rubinne1581]

Always a sign of a good day when a video of yours pops up! This painting is lovely, both as an idea and in execution. It's my favourite kind of content you make, even though I also love the art supply videos and the DIYS. These are topics most people in general don't touch on, and it's really comforting to hear your balanced perspective on them. Gonna use that gift card now. Have a great day and thank you!

[@holdmacat9932]

I totally relate, I gave pics of myself to anyone who would notice me, cause my family didn't give me attention I needed as a human and It also gave me fake confident boost that didn't last long. Which wasn't good cause some of those people abused me mentally like ignoring me, saying im horrible if I don't send anything, saying they love me to hate me an hour later. Later a had one relation based on sex, but it was toxic. My depression got worse, my social anxiety got worse, I was a shadow of a human. I was hyper sexual, addicted to sex and porn and after many years and taking care of my mental health my libido is totally gone and I don't even know what to do to have it back. It hurts me and my current relationship. I glad I'm not addicted anymore, but also sad I feel nothing.

[@ThePMRadio]

For a long time i found it hard to accept my sexuality, i was ok with everyone around me but it felt wrong for me to feel good about it. So i tried to repress it but that only made it worse, accepting my sexuality and kinks let me accept more of me, and I'm still trying to accept myself as well but it's getting better every step of the way. As someone who also had an eating disorder it was so hard to accept my body and i have quite a few mental illnesses which were hard to accept but now i am aware and accepting of myself and trying to better improve my feelings towards myself, it made such a massive impact

[@varibunn]

[@casrastr0phe]

this is such a great video. as an SA survivor, it was very hard to get a hold of my feelings about my self and my own body, thinking it was only seen when it was exploited so a good recovery for me was to just slowly stop focusing on getting validation from this factor and focus on what i want. today, i am still confused as to what i want but i know its not physical stuff as i realised i am asexual. this video helped me see another perspective. to anyone who sees this (and especially to the people who might have been in a situation like mine), please , take time to take care of yourself and be unapologetic about it. youre more important that what the others make you to be.
