Over the past couple years, I’ve had an increasingly difficult time staying hard let alone reaching ejaculation with a partner. This was the first exercise Coral gave me and while we integrated a lot of other tools, I can say the Erotic Embodiment Mapping Practice was essential to me crossing the ledge. I still use it just about every day.

I used to disassociate during sex—either chasing a fantasy in my head or going numb entirely. I didn’t realize how fragmented my arousal had become until Coral introduced me to this practice. Erotic Embodiment Mapping gave me a way to anchor my desire in my body, not my mind. For the first time, I started feeling present, honest, and turned on in a way that didn’t require performance or escape. It’s become a compass for what’s real and what’s just a trauma echo.

I was in Sex Addicts Anonymous for years, which encouraged celibacy outside of relationships and abstaining from masturbation entirely. I white knuckled it but always felt wrong for wanting to be sexual. This Erotic Embodiment Practice was the foundation of integration for me. I use it to check in with myself often and it keeps me aligned with my conscious sexuality.
