Interactive Erotic Education

 

Foundational Training

 

Commencing October 2024

What are we teaching?

Interactive Erotic Somatic Sex Education is a groundbreaking approach that provides integrated support for clients, empowering them with knowledge about agency, pleasure, and play. Sessions involve practicing relational and somatic skills with a professional who is experienced, non-judgmental, grounded, and authentic.

 

Interactive Erotic Educators are somatic sex practitioners and coaches who utilize their body as a tool to help clients learn and heal through exploration and play. They employ a client-centered approach to promote empowerment and support, working with individuals, couples, people in alternative relationships, and groups. This modality uses somatic inquiry and experiential learning to deepen the client’s understanding, sensitivity, and consciousness regarding their bodies, sexuality, and sexual matters, while also addressing any related challenges or concerns they may have. The course is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, values, and ethical foundations for practicing two-way touch and working within an educational erotic framework.

How are we teaching it?

In this course students will engage with the material through embodied practices, group learning, connecting with the student cohort and working with volunteers. There are five modules, each facilitated by a different practitioner who will teach from their own unique skillset and area of specialisation.

How is it delivered?

Classes will be conducted live on Zoom for real-time participation. Recordings will be available after each session.

Coursework will include research assignments, self-practice at home, small group work, and volunteer sessions.

Students must actively participate and submit assignments on the forum.

The course will demand a commitment of 10 hours per week over a 10-week period.

Why is it important?

If you are reading this, you are already aware of the limited education available to most people when it comes to sex and pleasure. We believe that it is crucial for every individual to have access to information about pleasure, and that this information can and should be presented in various formats to accommodate the needs and learning styles of different individuals. When a practitioner can engage with their clients through their bodies, it creates a unique and profound opportunity for change. Humans learn best through experimentation, so providing a much-needed and rare space for people to explore, experiment, and learn about pleasure is a wonderful gift to offer to the world.

Who is it for?

This course is designed for sex workers and practitioners who exchange physical touch with their clients and wish to incorporate an educational approach into their practice. It is also beneficial for CSBs looking to broaden their practice with interactive sex education and coaching. Enrollment is open to anyone interested in using eroticism as a means of self-exploration and growth.
