It is your birthright to live a life filled with erotic joy. This book will guide you through insights and somatic practices that can heal trauma and neglect, foster resilience, and help us cultivate joy in our bodies, in our intimate relationships, and in the world.

Somatic Sex Educators Demonstrate Scar Remediation
Healers on the Edge is the first anthology to introduce and explain somatic sex education, a trauma- informed touch modality that uses the innate wisdom of the body to help heal physical, emotional, and psychological wounds and expand pleasure. Coming together from a variety of backgrounds, the authors present an array of examples and applications: from scar tissue remediation to gender identity explorations, from sexual problems and dysfunctions to the treatment of chronic trauma and neglect.
The Art and Science of Sacred Intimacy
for healing and pleasure
Many lives and relationships are profoundly impacted by persistent pelvic pain. Original medical conditions frequently become complicated with anxiety, depression and social isolation, as pelvic pain affects sexual pleasure and intimate relationships. All too often, people do not feel empowered to talk with medical professionals and partners. This unique approach to the treatment of pelvic pain transforms the cycle of pain, anxiety and tension into one of increasing ease and pleasure.
This set of Powerpoint slides is sold with the rights to use the images - for sex educators in their practice. Onika Henry and Caffyn Jesse describe The Anatomy of Pleasure as presenting “a small taste of the delicious diversity of genitals.” You will find drawings here that honor many diverse genital structures, including trans and intersex genitals, and diagrams of the anatomy of arousal.
This book shows how new scientific understandings of the brain and nervous system can guide us in creating expanded sexual happiness. With accessible theory, real-life stories, and over 100 evidence-based practices, you will learn to: unwind the effects of trauma and neglect, and feel safer in your skin; use neuroplasticity to feel more pleasure; and create a ‘sexual happiness feedback loop’ with your own neurochemistry.
