Practical exercises to reach higher levels of orgasm, renew relationships, and discover the healing power of sex • Illustrates how to identify and best please the nine male and female genital anatomy types--such as Coyote Man or Buffalo Woman • Provides exercises for greater sexual pleasure and orgasmic intensity, including the Firebreath exercise for full-body orgasm • Explains how to perform powerful healing sexual energetic work with the chakras and light body Based on ancient Mayan, Olmec, and Toltec teachings passed down through the generations by the Twisted Hair Nagual Elders of the Sweet Medicine Sundance Path, the practice of Quodoushka offers practical guidance on sex, intimacy, and relationships as well as how to reach higher levels of orgasm and sexual ecstasy. Working with the healing power of sexual union and orgasm, this practice offers a path to repair emotional wounds and sexual insecurities, revive monotonous relationships, and discover the sweet medicine of sex. Revealing these once-secret teachings for the first time, initiated Quodoushka instructor Amara Charles explains the physical, energetic, and sexual qualities of the nine male and female genital anatomy types--such as Coyote Man or Buffalo Woman--and how to identify and best please each type as well as take pride in your own unique anatomy. Describing the nine variations of orgasmic expression--from avalanche to forest fire--she provides exercises for greater sexual pleasure and increased orgasmic intensity, including the Firebreath exercise, a method for reaching a full-body orgasm through breathwork. Covering role playing and sexual energetic work with the chakras and the light body as well as ceremonies to bring the sacred back into your lovemaking, the practice of Quodoushka reveals how we can--through pleasure--become more sensitive, creative lovers.

I thought I was accustomed to cis-heteronormative gender essentialist sacred sex advice, and this book goes even further to be both colonialist and appropriative too! The best part is when the author readily admits that she is being so restrictive in her language because it's easier than writing a book that actually offers something up for everyone who might be interested.

Let's be clear here. This is a book written by a white woman about a new age spiritual practice created by other white people claiming to have roots in native Mesoamerican cultures (and denounced by those same people) while actually appropriating nearly all of its content from ancient Mesopotamian cultures, Hindu and tantric Tibetan Buddhist practice.

There were a few interesting ideas in the book, but it was buried amid so many piles of awful, it was almost impossible to take in anything worthwhile. Seriously, the only thing that stopped me from throwing this book across the room on *several* occasions is that I was reading the Kindle version.

"This book is both good and original. But the parts that are good aren't original, and the parts that are original aren't very good."
I wish one could sue an author for malpractice.
I gave it one star only because no lower ranking was available.

The Sexual Practices of Quodoushka is a comprehensive introduction to practical exercises to reach higher levels of orgasm, renew relationships, and discover the healing power of sexual intimacy. The author Illustrates how to identify and best please the nine male and female genital anatomy types, provides exercises for greater sexual pleasure and orgasmic intensity, including the firebreath exercise for full-body orgasm.

This book is an interesting read on sacred sensuality in the Nagual tradition in North America (Mesoamerican).

A book which helped me understand the different types of sexual anatomies, put back orgasms on a spectrum, and aroused me with desire to explore once more the wide range of experiences with my own sexuality. Quodoushka not only teach about the technical parts of it but the energy, and unseen dynamics happening during encounters with the self and others. There were parts that I’ll retain and others I’ll let go because too engrained in a singular perspective but I highly recommend to read this book.

For those who are opening this book for the first time, this book would be illuminating. For me, because I've had some background in different sexual practices, I found the book difficult to get through and repetitive because it was mostly informative and not immediately useful. The contents, however, came alive within the context of the class itself, providing me with concepts and background that I could then begin to work with immediately. I would suggest also attending the class.

Powerful book on sexuality.

While I didn’t agree with every aspect of the book, it still gives great insight on human sexuality which can be delivered as a true blessing to each other.

It would have been better had she just written a good sex book. The cultural appropriation and misrepresentation frustrated me and really turned me off.

Really interesting perspective that doesn't use dichotomies. I really enjoyed this book and plan to further research some of the ideas it introduced to me.
