What's Possible

  • There is a powerful medicine that challenges the cultural epidemic of disembodiment head-on: sustained sexual arousal.
  • After exploring sexual arousal as a feeling state, it will be easier for you to make better decisions about your health and your relationships.
  • One month of 25 mindful sexual arousal practices can transform your next thousand solo sex and partnered sex sessions.

What to Expect

  • Although there will be practice sessions off camera, there will be no on screen nudity in this class.
  • Our arousal practices facilitate neuroplasticity. Sexual arousal changes our brains, helping us to replace limiting erotic habits and rigid ways of thinking.
  • Our practices will be about integrating sexual arousal into our bodies and lives and playing with that arousal, making consequential use of that arousal.
"Sexual arousal may induce an altered state of consciousness for anyone willing to explore it. But, as with meditation and shamanic journeying, the state generated in sustained sexual arousal creates an opportunity one must learn to use." —J.R. Haule

Description

🌶️🌶️Medium Spiciness (clothed in-person events that may include touch and clothing-optional virtual events)

This workshop is for everyone—all bodies and expressions. If you have questions or specific needs, please contact Ben at registrar@bodyelectric.org.

Important: Joseph has even more information about this course here.

The core of this course is 25 filmed practice sessions, each 20 minutes in length. Your practice sessions will be structured to interrupt habits while making use of accelerated learning methods. In practice session after practice session, you will be redirecting your attention from external awareness to internal sensation, repeating subtle touches and movements that refine the specific skills you have chosen to develop. This is how you make optimum use of 25 filmed practices to re-pattern your nervous system and facilitate learning.

In your practice sessions, you will explore four core strategies:

  1. You will let go of the goal of orgasm and instead focus on noticing, sustaining, and playing with different levels of sexual arousal.
  2. You will interrupt lifelong sexual habits by standing and gently moving for each of your 25 sessions.
  3. You will practice a hands-free approach to solo sex using an anchored Fleshlight or vibrator.
  4. You will film your sessions and watch them immediately afterward, while the erotic sensations are still alive in your body.

What insights and pleasures might emerge when you cultivate sexual arousal as an ongoing practice? In our Zoom calls, students will share the joys and difficulties of their journey from practice to practice. Class recordings will not be available. However, reports from students about what worked and what was difficult for them will be shared in the class forum.

Enroll early so you can begin practicing and learning immediately.
