Spiritual Sexuality Mentoring:
We live in a society deprived of sexual mentoring, which has given rise to a culture immersed in sexual oblivion and lacking any sense of sexual bliss. This has lead to gender-biased sexual roles, where the partner representing the male is expected to be the aggressor and the partner in the role of the female is expected to be the passive receiver. Lack of communication, performance pressure and unfulfilled expectations based on these faulty role models, frequently lead to sexual problems and/or lack of sex altogether. In my practice I spend much time mentoring clients about the sexuality of their own as well as other genders, and about the fluidity of gender, sexual identity and sexual attraction.
Procreation is a powerful and intrinsic urge in both animals and humans, but a fulfilling and pleasure oriented sex life is not so inherently available. As much as we need to learn and practice certain skills--from reading and writing to dancing and yoga--we need to be mentored in the art of sex. It is essential for all of us to get to know our own sexual bodies and then learn about our partner’s sexual body. All individuals are different in their sexual response, what feels good for one might not feel good for somebody else. Every love making session is a new experience; it is a journey into the unknown, what felt good yesterday might not feel good today. A good lover, independent of gender, is someone who can be fully present to the unknown, be willing to explore and discover, and refrain from thinking they know what the other person wants in any particular moment. The person who is a good lover takes great pleasure in the experience of seeing and being seen, of touching and being touched.
As a mentor I provide a safe environment where sexuality is discussed and explored within a framework that is freed from normal conventions and thus can expand on multiple levels. I teach my clients how to recognize, acknowledge and embrace their own erotic potential. Celibate or sexually active, we always carry our sexuality with us, and to some extent it is present in the field of every interpersonal encounter. To be able to recognise, accept and embrace this, and not have to act on it, is from my point of view, a manifestation of an integrated sexuality. Repression, alienation or denial of one’s sexuality frequently leads to sexual compulsions, fear of intimacy, physical illness and neurotic behaviour.
I provide a safe space to explore different concepts of sexuality, and to voice taboos and shame-laden fantasies, changing repression to expression, denial to acceptance and alienation to integration.
