Do you often find yourself trapped in thoughts about your body—worrying so much that you're disconnected from actually experiencing it? Does the weight of concerns about age, weight, scars, or other physical traits make it difficult for you to be touched, let alone undress for a massage?

Many men spend significant time worrying about their bodies, particularly their genitals, to the extent that it hinders their capacity for pleasure. This preoccupation can build walls between them and genuine intimacy.

In my work with men, I cherish the chance to guide them through an undressing ritual and a space where they can openly share their feelings about their bodies. It’s a moment to discuss their physical selves with someone who listens deeply and asks thoughtful questions. Our bodies carry stories—narratives that can only be fully understood when approached with love and care. It’s through this attentive engagement that we can begin to dissolve the shame.

So, what are your feelings about your body?

What is Sacred Intimacy? Let me define it for you in the most simplistic way.

Sacred Intimacy is an opportunity to honor our mind, body, emotions, spirit, and our eros by dropping into an authentic space of healing.

As a Sacred Intimate, I have held different spaces for men—from those newly coming out or just curious or questioning, to men who have experienced immense body shame and dysmorphia, or simply for a man who is asking the tough question, "What do I really desire?" A Sacred Intimacy session may range from slow sensual touch to fantasy, or from tender cuddling to practicing how to be fully present in the body.

One of the most beautiful opportunities for me as a Sacred Intimate was to hold space for a man several years ago. This man had severe burns on 80% of his body and had not been touched by another person (except medical professionals) for 10 years. We were able to drop into a space where he could be seen, touched, and loved by another man. This was a slow process over many sessions.

The opportunity to be held with dignity, love, and detailed attention is the main purpose of a Sacred Intimate.

Cuddling offers profound benefits for men, going beyond mere comfort. A cuddle session can significantly impact emotional well-being by releasing powerful hormones like oxytocin and endorphins. These natural chemicals not only enhance mood but also boost the immune and nervous systems. Cuddling can feel sensual, caring, and nurturing, creating a deep sense of connection and relaxation.

Whether you're missing the embrace of a long-term partner, are single and seeking connection, or yearn for the comforting arms of a "Daddy" figure, cuddling can fulfill these desires.

What comes to mind when you hear "cuddle session"?
