Frottage , Failure and Liberation. Where do we place our attention in 2016 if we are invested in our collective erotic liberation? How can we play and celebrate failure as a way of decolonizing spiritual, bodies and minds? What can we “rub up against” that will change the world? What is a Sexual Solidarity Team? Who can be on it? How does Sexological Bodywork tie into this exploration for you? How has your gender journey effected your erotic journey?

Most couples find it difficult to keep an open, honest line of communication with their partner especially when it comes to sex. Over time this creates underlying tension and resentment, which directly impacts the intimacy and passion. We believe it’s possible for couples to avoid becoming disconnected emotionally and sexually if they’re willing to make one another feel R.A.D.(respected, appreciated, desired) on a consistent basis.
