Galen Fous

Sexuality is still a vast unexplored wilderness area of the human psyche. It has been cast as the taboo, treacherous, forbidden zone for millennia, and ignored as a valuable treasure trove of ecstasy for ourselves and our partners. Until this era, we have hardly allowed ourselves to turn our gaze upon it, academically or personally, except in sneaky or shy glances. This outdated moral sensibility keeps the vast territory of our Eros dark, secret, and out of view, This conceals and gives cover to the destructive shadows of our sexual expression. An epidemic of people leading secret sex lives festers in this darkness in the form of compulsive sexual behaviors, sneaking, lying, abusing, or repressing our sexual desire. In this era we are being called to fully embrace our birthright as empowered embodied sexual beings and heal the internalized fears, shames, shadows, traumas and harsh moral judgments that inhibit, hide or judge its honest, consensual, ecstatic. expression.
