Pleasure-Focused
Sex therapy can provide the sex education most of us never received. Pleasure-focused, not reproduction or disease-focused, education can be healing. Giving EX-PLISSIT* permission, learning how bodies function, feel, and vary, getting affirmed for the activities and identities that were shamed, bullied, or oppressed are all ways that pleasure-focused sex therapy can heal.
Centering Erotically Marginalized Folxs
Sex is ideally always about pleasure (and therefore also consent). For many people what we learned about sex filled us with self-conscious anxiety, shame, and even disgust. Prioritizing wisdom and desires of queer, kinky, fat, disabled, BIPOC, aging, and other erotically-marginalized folxs centers pleasure over pressure and can greatly expand the healing capacity of the erotic.
