Sacred Sex Ed: for presence, pleasure, & purposeful relating
Sacred Sex Ed is the sex education you never had, but that we all desperately need; a sex education that is empowering, honest, and pleasure-based. It is the pathway to a future in which we feel empowered by our desires, rather than a slave to them; in which we feel celebratory of our nakedness and vulnerability. Sacred Sex Ed is creating a world where we can openly and emphatically talk about the energy and acts that brought us into it.
This book is an ally in reclaiming the most powerful energy in your body by inviting you
Illuminate your shadows. Acknowledge the patterns, authorities, education, and belief systems that have created shame for our bodies, judgment of our sex, and resulted in nearly every sexual assault and trauma.Expand your awareness. Discover the magic available when we evoke intention into our intimate lives. Get curious about your vision for relating and gain tools to consciously create expansive erotic and intimate experiences.Liberate your eros. We are invited to expand our capacity to find pleasure, purpose, and presence in the most unlikely of places. We push our edges and learn how to use our life force energy to manifest our deepest desires.

Hi,
I hope all is progressing well.
Sacred Sex Ed: For Presence, Pleasure, & Purposeful Relating by Leola in memoir-like fashion explores tantra as a method of ending violence (particularly sexual violence), healing (particularly from and beyond trauma), manifesting of one's life, and growing with more self-awareness relationally with and beyond oneself in myriad ways. Engaging my interests in healthful progressions of life as well as of being a more mindful romantic/life partner, I decide to buy then read the text to further broaden and deepen my healthfully progressing understanding of healthfully progressing parameters of life. The text offers exercises for one to engage the material of different dimensions to better engage control one has of one's life. Here are a few more of my ponderings when reading the text; even as one experiences beautifully beyond/of healing, one must be mindful navigating a/ world(s) in need of healing reflecting dynamics of grief(s) and trauma(s); energy assessing/alignment is valuable to mindfully-assess; and the text's approach to intuition and/or instinct is interesting to consider with dynamics of decision-making in connection with dynamics of trauma entwining/aside from familiarity (vice versa) as well as with healing/beyond healing.
Additionally, I find the following texts may assist with further deliberating concepts of contexts within Sacred Sex Ed: For Presence, Pleasure, & Purposeful Relating by Leola: SEX EDUCATION FOR TEENAGERS: ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU DON’T WANT TO ASK YOUR PARENTS ABOUT PUBERTY, DATING, AND STAYING SAFE by Riley Rhodes, The Pornography Wars: The Past, Present, and Future of America’s Obscene Obsession by Dr. Kelsy Burke, PhD, Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections by Dr. Emily Nagoski, PhD, It's Your Body: The Young Woman's Guide to Empowered Sexual Health by Dena Moes, RN, CNM, What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff, Dr. Nita’s Crash Course for Women: Better Sex, Better Health, Better You by Dr. Nita Landry, MD, OB-GYN, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Dr. Daniel Goleman, PhD, All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today by Dr. Elizabeth Comen, MD, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, MD, All About Love: New Visions by Dr. bell hooks, PhD,Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing (Newly Updated and Revised 5th Edition) by Dr. Christiane Northrup, M.D., The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did) by Philippa Perry, a Psychotherapist, The Girls' Guide to Growing Up Great: Changing Bodies, Periods, Relationships, Life Online by Sophie Elkan with Laura Chaisty and Dr. Maddy Podichetty as well as Illustrations by Flo Perry, Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire by Dr. Lori A.
