Researchers hope to learn more about the nature of sexual fantasy and how shame, fear, internalized moral judgements and past trauma interfere with sexual pleasure  Galen Fous MTP, in association with Dr. Rachel Needle of the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes, believes his sexual fantasy research study – the Discover Your Personal Erotic Myth (PEM) Survey 2.0, can help psychology professionals, as well as curious individuals, better understand the range and depths of their sexual fantasies and how to express them in healthy, consensual ways. According to Fous, a sex-positive therapist, author, and sex-educator, “Understanding your PEM and learning how to communicate honestly about your fantasies , can open you to profound sexual ecstasies, deepen Intimacy in your relationships, and help you avoid disastrous erotic mismatches in long-term relationships.” Dr. Rachel Needle, Co-Director of the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes is joining Fous to do a scientific analysis of the data and publish research findings that will be gathered from the survey.  “We still have so much to learn about the nature of sexuality, sexual fantasies and how our sexuality is shaped” Needle noted. “We hope this [...]

One can destroy trust and connection – another offers transcendent dark-edged sexual ecstasy "Galen is one of our favorite presenters...always fascinating, insightful and compelling insights into the Psychology of Kink." Dusty - Kink.com events Our unresolved shadow personas can wreak havoc on our D/s relationships.  They can also add potent psychological depths to our erotic excursions into the taboo edges of BDSM sex. For example, a raging tyrant or an incessant victim aspect of a person may be triggered to life in a moment, that acts nothing like the noble Dom or sub one aspires to be.   But in a consensual, negotiated scene, bringing out the tyrant aspect has the potential to drive the sexual intensity off the charts for both Dom and sub. There can also be a shadow behind one’s hesitancy to fully embody the tyrant in a scene, even when a partner desires that intensity. Learning about and beginning to resolve our shadows can build profound trust, enhance the depth and intimacy of our D/s relationships, and allow the deepest expression and ecstatic experience of our personal BDSM sexual personas.  Concepts Considered Shadows [...]

Have you been in sex/porn addiction therapy for a year or more and are still struggling? Do you want to move beyond secrecy and find a way to be honest, confident and shame-free about your sexuality? You might be a candidate for an alternative treatment program called Sexual Integration Theory and Practice. We are inviting 8 participants to this FREE 8 week program. Sessions are 50 minutes scheduled once per week. This program has a value of $800 plus. If someone is experiencing compulsive use of porn or sex, often called porn/sex-addiction, the Sexual Integration approach considers that the behavior may be a symptom of an underlying psychological conflict, not a psychological nor physical addiction. Here are some other possibilities that SITP considers in assessing the client: The core conflict may be the internal psychological struggle the client has about their own sexual desires not matching the moral or religious expectations of partners, family, religion or society. This inner conflict can include feelings of deep shame, confusion, fear of being discovered, or harsh internalized self-judgments condemning their sexual desires.  These sex-negative judgments opposing their authentic [...]

A Transpersonal View of the Empowering and Healing Dimensions of Sexual Authenticity Presenting at the 20th Anniversary Conference of the European Association of Transpersonal Psychology, Paris France, Sept 2019 My lecture will demonstrate how embracing one’s authentic sexuality from mainstream to Kink, can lead to a sense of wholeness, empowerment, deep intimacy and ecstatic transcendence of the ordinary realms of consciousness. This implies consensual, negotiated, conscious expressions of one’s sexuality. At the same time, the path to sexual authenticity offers an opportunity, if not a necessity, to untangle decades old internalized shame, fear, trauma, and moral judgments that may resist one’s authentic sexual desire. The path to sexual authenticity runs parallel to the path of sexual healing. Context  The “normal” range of human sexual expression is shifting profoundly. Millions of people around the world have already crossed the thresholds of previous cultural, moral and spiritual norms for acceptable sexual behavior. Millions more stand at their own thresholds, hesitant but eager to cross over. This mass excursion into the full spectrum of Erotic expression is unprecedented in the history of civilization. New relationship styles are emerging, [...]
