Sexual Sophistication: A Framework for Embodied Pleasure
My Beloved and I are co-teaching a new workshop on January 10... the first of our monthly series of Mindful Sex Monthly Workshops.
Sexual sophistication is a new framework for understanding yourself and your lovers.
My Beloved and I created this framework on our honeymoon a few months ago... we made love, we played in the wind and waves, we got high, and we spent time imagining our sex life as a married couple. We envisioned what might be possible with ourselves and with other lovers. We thought about how we can best understand our needs and desires for ourselves and in each other. And we connected our years of work and practice and play to create this fabulous new body of work under the framework of SEXUAL SOPHISTICATION.
As two middle-aged sexperts deeply immersed in this work (personally and professionally), sexual sophistication seems to includes the many facets that make for magnetic lovers and amazing partners: emotional intelligence, sexual mastery, attunement + embodiment, and deliciously practical sexual skills. And you can learn them all with us next week!
On Saturday, January 10, join us for a free workshop to discuss this delicious framework. We meet at 11am Pacific time.
You can register here! 🩷
In this workshop we’ll explore four pillars of sexual sophistication:
Embodied consent: How to get clear about what you want with yourself (self-consent and self-honoring—trusting your animal body) and how to give/receive in new ways that make for delicious, crave-worthy sex.
Co-Creation: Sex is so much more than showing up, getting naked, checking boxes, and creating friction… Within this sophisticated approach, we’ll look at sexual play as a co-created experience that you both/all can play a role in manifesting what you want.
Mindful presence: Sex isn’t something you do, it’s who you are... so learning how to show up in your fullness and presence is how to create a deeper connection and better sex. It’s the power of holding your desire, staying still, and honoring what is alive in the moment—stillness, wildness, connection, pleasure, healing... or something more.
Sexual tools: Our curated list of foundational sex skills everyone needs... and all the ways you can continue to explore your most sensual self in workshops and sessions with us.
This yummy 90-minute workshop is hosted by MEEEEE! That is, Sex Coach Andrea Devon Bertoli, and my HUSBAND (!) Psychotherapist + Sex Therapist Christopher Frier Brown. We are a (newly) married couple with decades of personal and professional experience in sexual healing and relationship intelligence. Our work is rooted in therapy, mindfulness, kink, Tantra, sacred sexuality, and sexual healing. We are a mixed-orientation couple, and we are open and affirming for all sexual, gender, and relational expressions!
Our free Mindful Sex Monthly workshops are for anyone curious about exploring their deeper pleasure potential and building deeper, more satisfying sexual partnerships. These workshops are explicit, but there will be no nudity on screen from teachers nor students. A replay is available for those that cannot make it live. The Q&A is not recorded.
We invite you to truly make space in your day to really dive into this yummy experience for the full 90-minutes. Give yourself time afterwards to continue to feel into the conversation, and explore with ongoing readings or pleasure practices. Register here, darlings!
