Learn the New Female Model of Conscious Connection with PhD sexologist Dr. Lily, August 20, Friday 7-10 pm, Austin, $25 singles, $40 couples, 610-517-8276

Drug manufacturers want to make a killing on a ‘Viagra pill’ for women and medicalize ‘low sexual desire’  as our newest sexual dysfunction. Ok, low desire is rampant (in both men and women), but we ain’t easy for a reason!  Why are the female yin waters so different to heat up than the male Yang fire?  And how can a man’s fire keep a woman simmering all night long?!  Learn from Sex Doc Lily a foolproof 5 Step RX for greater pleasure and intimacy.  You’ll rediscover the delight of living from the neck down…without popping a pill.

Male Erotic Massage: Opening to Profound, Prolonged Pleasure and Spirit

October 9, Sat 2-5 pm, central Austin, singles $85/paired friends $160

Demonstration class for men, women, singles or couples: Register at www.paypal.com and deposit tuition in acct, charla@bodyjoy.org

Men are naturally capable of multiple, whole body orgasms and prolonged waves of bliss…just as women are.  Find out how to open a man’s capacity for profound realms of internal and external orgasmic joy.  Men and Women, come to this class if you desire to honor and touch the male body profoundly and learn new ways to encourage a man’s deep surrender, emotional release and spiritual connection.

Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Charla Hathaway, and best-selling author of Erotic Massage: Sensual Touch for Deep Pleasure and Extended Arousal (available in nine languages), demonstrates on a live male model how to give a man a sensual, sacred massage. She covers male anatomy, how to prepare a man for “receiving” deep bodywork, full body strokes, genital massage, and external and internal prostate massage.  Participants do not massage each other (like in her Tantra Couples Massage class).  You are invited (your choice) to try the strokes on the model.

Many men have not experienced massage without feeling pressure to perform or “give back.” Often men have not learned to experience the sensual journey instead of focusing on a destination. Many have yet to discover the pleasure of perineum and prostate exploration.  A man receiving this kind of massage may enjoy extended Erotic Trance States and heightened potency, pleasure, and health–including prostate health.

Students are amazed at how comfortable they feel in the company of others learning such sensitive material.  You will drop a sense of shame, separation and isolation around the body, and begin to enjoy, within a community of fellow seekers, an authentic and sacred connection to the body erotic.

To register go to www.paypal.com and send  payment to: charla@bodyjoy.org. You’ll receive confirmation and directions to the class.  Limited enrollment to first 13 people, this class sells out.
