If you are a person on an erotic spiritual path, this book by David Guy brilliantly offers nourishing erotic wisdom from D.H. Lawrence, Walt Whitman, Marco Vassi, Joseph Kramer (yes!) and others woven into a searingly-honest narrative of his life as a spiritual man "obsessed" with sex. more

Somatic sex educator Barnaby Barrett begins his provocative and subversive book Sexual Health and Erotic Freedom by stating: "I believe passionately that humanity needs a more loving world, and that a more loving world can only be achieved if we humans are free to enjoy the pleasures of our bodies."
Barrett, a Harvard-trained psychoanalyst, offers insight into the unconscious or unexamined patterns that inhibit our erotic freedom. He explores the communal nature of eroticism, the importance of embodiment, trauma, the incest taboo, the glories of sensuality, successful sexual partnering, and Tantric practice. more

The Way of the BodyPrayerPath: Erotic Freedom and Spiritual Enlightenment  is an invitation to erotic-spiritual practice and a guidebook for spiritual directors and Tantric facilitators. Barrett reminds us we can choose to cultivate and breathe conscious awareness of our thoughts and feelings. His core message is to make love openly and extravagantly, to go wild, and to live life as a sexual-spiritual adventure. more

Have you ever had a significant or dramatic personal experience in which the reality of the body became clear? Ed Maupin calls such a somatic insight a "Body Epiphany." He writes: "Whatever its form, the body epiphany matures into a more sustained state of embodiment, in which every aspect of experience maintains some link with the sense of the lived body. Embodiment is close to the center of what we attempt to bring about with somatic therapy and somatic education." more

Blackburn’s and Wade’s interviews with sexual pioneers – people who openly identify themselves using terms such as “sacred intimate” or “sacred prostitute” – are filled with profound insights, tenderness and humor; the thoughtfulness and integrity of the interviewees will undoubtedly shatter many preconceptions. Blackburn and Wade demonstrate that it is possible to reclaim the sacred role of the prostitute and that doing so would help liberate us all.
