People are often curious about my work and like to ask me what I do as somatic sex educator and trauma practitioner. Instead of discussing my field - which is multifaceted and ever-changing- I prefer to talk to folx about why my clients come to see me.

In honor of Masturbation May (and any other day) I wrote these tips and practices to support folx in creating and fostering of a self-pleasure practice. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but one that hopefully inspires you to tune into your erotic sensations and the delights of being in your body

In the spirit of getting to know each other a bit better, here’s a little about me! My name is River Drosera, I am a queer somatic sex educator. I use they/them pronouns and I live and work on Onöndowa’ga:’ land (Rochester, NY).
