This carousel will be dropping on IG later today but wanted to share with you first!
Also, a reel from our interview.
Thanks for being here on Somatic Pleasure!
Sex without performance. Connection without second‑guessing.
In this episode, Melissa Davison (Director of BodyJoy Intimacy School; sexological bodyworker, hypnotherapist, Shadow EFT practitioner) shows us how to trade “doing it right” for embodied presence—in solo practice and with a partner.
We unpack Temple Night (a sacred intimacy frame couples can use at home), the Wheel of Consent (service vs. taking, allowing vs. accepting), and why repair work must often happen before the “hot stuff.”
Melissa breaks down what one‑directional touch teaches, how to spot performance pressure in the wild, and simple ways to rewire patterns with breath, pacing, and attention.
We explore men’s desire to serve (and the shadow where it slips into taking), what hypnotherapy and Shadow EFT add to somatic change, and why a 10‑minute self‑pleasure practice can transform your erotic life.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, bored in the bedroom, or confused about boundaries, this conversation is a practical map back to sensation.
Slow is hot.
Presence is power.
