Elements Of Sexual Empowerment

Sexual empowerment is a recent phenomenon that helps people to understand their own desires and pleasures. Oftentimes these are missing elements in one’s sexual education. If any is given, the focus is often on abstinence, safety, or prophylactics. However, pleasure is our birthright and desire helps us claim it.


Many folks engage in unfulfilling sexual activities, expecting or hoping that their partners know more. Yet others know there is something more, but are unclear how to attain that. Sexual empowerment coaching is a path forward. 


Here are some steps in the process.


Know your sexual story


List the story of what sexuality is to you. This is your own personal history. Write it all down including what you liked, what you didn’t like, that all informs who you are today and how you show up. List the solo and/or partners you’ve had. Catalog not only what you’ve experienced until now, but also your expectations as well. Great job!


Also list any sexual beliefs you hold- limiting or otherwise. Acknowledging what is in a non-judgmental way helps you release whatever no longer serves you. This will help you clarify your current sexual desires.


Bless your sexual shame


If possible, identify the origin of the sexual shame and guilt (if any). Sexual shame is often associated with trauma. Trauma is broadly used here as anything that overwhelms your nervous system. This energy (trauma) becomes enlodged in the body and needs to be released.


Trauma therapy is best done by working with a professional. Identifying the etiology or origin can help you heal from it. When you experience blockages in your body caused by trauma, bless your shame. Ignoring, averting your attention, or aggressively urging the shame to leave your body will not bring you the relief you desire. Instead bless what is. Acceptance is part of the healing path forward.


Accept your body



Sexual empowerment is inextricably connected with body positivity. Accept your body as it is and feel proud to be embodied. Don’t let the negative comments, in your mind or others, get in your way of how you feel about yourself.


Relaxing into what is will help you enjoy greater pleasure from sexual activity.


Work upon your sexual energy


It is important to keep your sexual energy intact by finding ways to keep the spark alive. Not letting negative sexual views get to you helps you indulge in sex-positive beliefs. This is a great way of keeping your sexual energy alive.


Find new ways to satisfy yourself by connecting deeply with your body. Explore new behaviors to satisfy yourself and love yourself. Stay positive throughout the sexual process and experience more pleasure.


At the end of the day, be content with yourself to only allow relationships that matter into your life, especially the one with yourself
