Erotic Intelligence: Theater of the Sexual Mind




I am trained in helping individuals and couples understand the meaning of their sexual lives, fantasies and behaviors.

A large portion of my practice is dedicated to those suffering from sexual addiction and compulsivity, sexual abuse, sexual identity confusion, MSM's and other related sexual issues.

I have a chapter on what I call one's "Sexual Shadow" in Chapter 7 in my book, "10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Find Real Love".



And now there is a book for couples that takes these books a step further exploring the secret logic to sexual issues between couples; MATING IN CAPTIVITY by Esther Perel.

“Emotional intelligence” has become an increasingly popular term to help people improve performance in the workplace and in educational settings. Employers and teachers are coming to recognize that emotional intelligence plays a role in understanding people.

Similarly, erotic intelligence—what men and women do and fantasize about sexually—reveals quite a bit about them. Your sexual fantasies are a result of your psychological makeup. Your libido is not separate from who you are. In fact, much of one’s identity is embedded in their erotic life. Just as you can tell much about people from the friends they keep, so you can tell a lot about anyone by understanding his sexual desires.

MSM’s arousal templates have prompted them to be sexually drawn to encounters with other men. Erotic intelligence is not so much about sex as it’s expressed through sex, and this chapter will help explain why. One’s childhood and past experiences become linked and embedded in one’s arousal template—one’s sexual fantasies, desires and behaviors.
