The Ultimate Guide to Seduction & Foreplay

Techniques and Strategies for Mind-Blowing Sex

This isn’t just about seduction. It’s your ultimate guide to erotic theory & sexual communication.

Packed with practical exercises, techniques, and creative ideas, this inclusive guide is a surefire way for folks of all genders to master the art of pleasure.

One lesson from a happy couple on board the Desire Cruise: Don’t wait for whatever time is left over at the end of the day, month or year. Plan your love just like you plan vacations, kids’ schedules, and even football pools! 🗓️  “If it matters to you, you’ll carve out time for it. Don’t just spend your ‘leftover’ time together—plan for quality time, adventure, and connection. Otherwise, you’ll get none of it.” C&M from Venezuela.  Is your relationship getting scraps, or are you planning for something greater? Now is as good a time as ever to be intentional. 💕
I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris* and Sheila*, who are likely the longest married couple on the cruise. But it’s not the longevity of their relationship that matters. It’s the fact that they adore one another after decades of friendship, intimacy and pleasure. And their willingness to show up to my workshop with the most open minds after so many years of marriage is so cool and humbling. I asked them for their best relationship advice and they both highlighted the value of slowing down — at work, at the dinner table and in the bedroom. They’ve been through a lot together from raising kids and caring for aging parents to running and selling a business. If they could go back and do it again, they say they’d “rush around a whole lot less”. As someone who loves rushing around, I’m sitting with this one and thinking about how to slow down just a little bit at a time. Will share their specific strategies for slowing down in an upcoming post. *names have been changed.
