I learned to identify which things bring comfort or playfulness, sensual pleasure or erotic arousal, and how to ask for them clearly without shame’ (Katie) Certified Sexological Bodyworker (CSB) from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San FranciscoWith more than 100 easy-to-follow techniques for expanded orgasmic states and solo and partner play (as well as more adventurous practices), this in-depth guide reveals the delicious worlds of ecstasy available to all, no matter one's gender, sexual preference, or erotic tastes. Urban Tantra expands the notions of pleasure and opens new heights of intimacy and sexual fulfillment. This is probably going to sound crazy but here goes. I am 67 and I’ve been married to the same woman for 43 years. I know that before we married, she had been with about 10 other men sexually. I am only about 5.8 inches when fully erect, and for some reason that I can’t explain, I have been bothered lately wondering how many of the men that she had been with were bigger or even much bigger than me. Does a woman know the difference between say a half inch bigger or a whole inch bigger? I understand if she ran across a 7-plus-inch guy it would be noticeable. So that’s my question. Do women notice the difference when a guy is a half inch to a whole inch shorter than other partners? Please don’t ask me to move on and leave it alone. I really would like to know. Held in loving embrace: A clothed comforting session of warm tender holding and shared intimate connection. An allowance of body softening and moulding together through letting go of expectation, slowing down, breathing deeply and opening to the felt sense of being loved. Essential for maintaining good health and well-being – reducing anxiety, tension, feelings of isolation and loneliness. Co-regulates trauma response and enhances life-affirming safety within. I see it as my job to give people permission and possibilities. And the course is an invitation to join Urban Tantra ® as a community and ever evolving practice. As opposed to being certified in something that is rooted in a particular time. This is concrete in that we now have a closed Facebook group where we’re sharing successes and failures,

Intimate Sexuality and Intimate Relating are my unique systems of practical intimacy and sex coaching and education which have been developed from over a decade of working with clients. These 2 road maps give you the structure and tools to support you to awaken / transform your sex life and intimate relationships, in a way that feels true to you. We do this through a mix of coaching, education and practices:

Just as technique is never enough for great sex, a stellar curriculum isn’t enough to make a great sex educator. It’s hard for people who work in the sexuality helping professions to continue to grow personally and professionally. There’s so much in place that makes it comfortable and convenient to do what we do and give little more than a token gesture to continuing education. When intimacy and sex have been a source of stress or worry, my clients find that the sessions bring fun and lightness to these areas of your life. The programme gives you the focus and the structure for lasting change to happen.Urban Tantra is the most pleasurable, fun, meaningful, and liberating book on sex ever! Thank you, Barbara!” –Christiane Northrup

It’s designed for anyone working with sex and sexuality. You could be a massage provider, a sex therapist, a yoga instructor, you could be a sex worker. You could be any of those things or more. The training is for people who already have a basic confidence in their work or in the work they want to be doing, but they are yearning for something more. Everybody who comes to the course, comes with a struggle or issue where they want to get better at.

An Apprenticeship in Herbal Medicine & Earth Rituals

It’s also an opportunity to provide people who work with sex a place to find a common language. Often Tantric practitioners speak in a new age, energy based language that keeps people who would like their services away from them because they’re put off by language. Sex therapists can be too clinical to attract some of the clients that they want to work with. Kink professionals can be a little scary, and not in a good way. So we transform language so that people get to say what they do in a way that will attract the people they really want to work with. Consent is the cornerstone of conscious sexuality. Consent, as we understand and practice it, is an ongoing agreement which can be modified or withdrawn at any point throughout our work or play. Feathers Floggers & Fluff: An exploration of all things sensual and ‘kinky’. Suitable for beginners and those wishing to step into a deeper exploration of sensation, surrender, boundaries, erotic expansion, non genital focused pure prolonged pleasure. How to give your client/student what s/he/they want and need without compromising the integrity of your process.
