How Do I Become a Sex Coach?

Published October 6th by Betty Dodson
in

I have just started reading your book Sex For One. Bravo! Thank you for helping me start to destroy this huge wall I have built around myself for the past 23 years. I have purchased many books and plan on studying sex and relationships from home. I have been interested in this field for about three years now. I want to know if there is any advice you can give me as to what texts I should study. I want to be able to coach people to be better lovers, by themselves and with others.

My Intentions For My Sexlife Blogging

Posted July 7th by Eric Amaranth

Hello all. I often utilize my blog to write, with each lover's permission, on the sex I'm having in real-life. I do so of course for the sultry entertainment value and also to show the kind of sex I am having and doing. Ever wondered if a sex educator or therapist could live up to what they preach? Well, I have. My intention is for it to teach and illuminate as much as titilate. Imagine yourself feeling and co-creating with your partner the things in this blog. If you find yourself needing to learn how to make these things happen for real, I welcome you to schedule a talk-teaching or sex coaching session with me. Enjoy to the fullest. -E.A

Phone Session with Eric Fan Mail

Posted March 20th by Eric Amaranth

Here's some feedback from two clients who had phone session(s) with me. The first one is from a mid-40's woman wanting to learn some strong oral sex skills for a man and the second is from a thirty-something woman who was searching for solutions on how to get better at sex, yet not let classic goal-orientation symptoms occur. I believe a much more accurate term is immediate-success orientation. Without goals when it's time to grow, practice, and develop, we get nowhere. The key is how you make goal-orientation work very well for you and your partner and enjoy the trip without having a requirement that you reach your goal. Let it come when it comes; be it the first time or the 20th time. Go back for further clarification if need be, but always be enjoying the trip there, the erotic exploration, and connection even though you're in learning mode.

What Your Therapist Doesnt Know About Sex

Posted March 11th by Eric Amaranth

Here's an excerpt below of the full article written by Theresa Ikard from www.carnalnation.com on Dr. Marty Klein's workshop on how traditional psychology therapists are not trained to help bring sexual sophistication into their clients' lives. It makes crystal clear how often therapists will use the standard social mores and/or religious-based beliefs as their answers to questions posed to them. Psychologists with sex therapy certifications are an improvement, but based on my research into what they are teaching and their training, their knowledge does not extend beyond basic to intermediate sex information and often it's gathered from statistics and science-only. I'm glad they're out there and I love many of them, but there is more.

Are There Sex Health Education Resources in Hawaii?

Published March 11th by Betty Dodson

Aloha Betty and Carlin.

I've been interested in sexual health education since my college years when I was a peer counselor in sexuality. After working in a different field for a bit, I've moved out here to Hawaii and am trying to reinvent myself. I've taken up a health ed position with the american lung association to learn about health education and promotion on a larger scale, and I've taken a position as a sales associate for the local women friendly adult store here in town. I'm very much interested in furthering my education in sexuality and sex research in all aspects--this is a fairly new revelation for me as I've now found a more specific future route than just 'public health/community education'. I know i'd like to focus on adult sexual health education, with things like the after hours education classes put on at Good Vibes in SF as my sort of 'ideal' type of job in the future.

What Course of Study Would Your Suggest for Sex Therapy?

Published March 11th by Betty Dodson

Dear Betty,

I am a 55 yr. old elementary teacher (near retirement), with 3 strong sisters, and mother of 2 independent daughters. I have always been supportive, if not active, in women's issues and enjoyed your early work while I was in college exploring my nascent sexuality.

Recently my younger daughter informed me that she would like to pursue a psychology concentration in sex therapy. We have always been open and forthright about sex and she has come to me often in surprise at finding her friends have not had the same upbringing! My question is... what course of action would you suggest for her?
