Empowered Sexuality for Men: Beyond Porn

Self-paced Program


Sexual Empowerment is a process of taking back your power from anywhere you have been giving it away. It is based on an understanding of sexual energy, and how what we feed our energy to in life determines the quality of our life. Ideally we want to feed our sexual energy to whatever serves our purpose, and to love and to our higher self.

One of the biggest places where men give away their power is to porn. Porn starts off feeling like it is for our pleasure. But before we know it, it can feel like it is taking over our life and hijacking our sexual energy.

It is actually often designed to be addictive, and unfortunately often has the effect of diminishing our in-body sexual experiences.

Issues such as impotency, premature ejaculation, dissociation during sex, sex addiction, lack of sex drive in physical situations and craving for violent experiences can all be caused by use of porn, leading to sometimes severe disruption to our intimate life.

Yet still we keep using it.

That's because, like other addictions, it is not as simple as just wanting to stop.

This is where ancient Taoist and Tantric techniques can be of immense value.

These ancient tools understood sexuality in terms of ENERGY. There is the saying "where attention goes, energy flows". Thus we are not only spending our money on porn, we are spending our precious life force energy, our sexual energy.

Tao Tantric tools enable us to see where our energy is getting drained and draw it back into our core, circulate it in our body and choose where we share that energy.

It is also wrapped up with deep emotions, often on an unconscious level. There are deep laters of shame and guilt wrapped up around our use of porn, and these emotions result is us feeling drawn to and yet ashamed of our use of porn.

Neo-Tantra brings many methods for discovering the emotional impact of our behaviour, and reveal the underlying desires and needs. Once we can uncover these, we can find other healthier ways to fulfil our needs and to express our desires.
