In a follow up conversation, Joseph and Sam shift focus to the phenomenological qualities of altered states in somatic sex education, discussing the distinction between educational states and upper echelon states. Joseph shares his 40-year experience with erotic massage, emphasizing the importance of preparation, attention, and safety. He describes a two-day class called "Celebrating the Body Erotic," which includes prolonged erotic massage and group activities. Joseph also highlights the benefits of videotaping solo sex practices for self-coaching and the concept of sustained sexual arousal. They explore the potential of group experiences and the critical learning period post-intense experiences.
Joseph's work can be accessed through all the schools that still teach his work.
Celebrating the Body Erotic can be experienced through The Body Electric School.
