- Living in the House of Yes - by Submitted on Dec 31, 1969 from Amy Jo GoddardI grew up hearing “NO” a lot. As much as I rebelled against the ideas that I can’t have what I want, that deprivation is somehow noble, and that I certainly can’t have it all, I internalized those ideas and lived them out for years and years. Yet a part of me always knew it wasn’t true. I ...
Views: 1083(2 votes) - The Eleven Sexual Rights You Should Know You Have - by Submitted on May 29, 2012 from Amy Jo GoddardGiven the latest attacks on women’s sexual and reproductive rights and the responses of many critical thinking lawmakers about men’s sexual rights, I thought it was high time I posted the actual Declaration of Sexual Rights. I’ve often heard people’s surprise at the idea of having sexual ...

I mean, it's a little ironic isn't it? You being our first African-American President and all. I'm guessing you've experienced an obscene amount of discrimination ...

Views: 1251 - How to Get What You Want - by Submitted on Jun 01, 2012 from Amy Jo Goddard“I’ll never have a sexual life like other women.” “I’m too wounded to have a good sexual life or relationship.” “It’s just not in the cards for me.” “Everyone else is fixable—but me.” “My perfect relationship just doesn’t exist.” I hear ...
Views: 1243 - Is Your Sexuality Worth More Than Your Car? - by Submitted on May 29, 2012 from Amy Jo GoddardThe other day I spoke to a woman on the phone who was interested in coaching with me. She was a perfect fit for my work and one of those classic mirrors; she had been through a divorce that had uncanny similarities to my own. I knew I could help her in a big way and she seemed really ready to do ...
Views: 1000 - My Sexual Life Would Be Good, If Only... - by Submitted on May 29, 2012 from Amy Jo GoddardHow many times do you put off your own growth, self-development work, fun, pleasure or education because of some made-up reason that really just slows you down and keeps you from having what you want, for no good reason? With sexuality, many people have a chronic problem with putting it on ...
Views: 1046 - Opening Up to Possibility With Sex Play - by Submitted on Jun 01, 2012 from Amy Jo GoddardEver since I first came across that quote by Buber, I have kept it on one of my altars at home, a daily reminder of one of my core values. Play. Remember, as a kid, the worlds you could create just by believing in the possibility they could exist? I remember making tents with blankets around ...
Views: 1517 - Take Your Sexual Temperature - by Submitted on May 11, 2012 from Amy Jo GoddardSometimes you get so stuck sexually and you are so used to feeling stuck, you have no way to gauge how or why. I see this a lot with new sex coaching clients and prospects. If a woman has gotten far enough in her process to call me, she at least has some sense that her sexuality needs ...
Views: 1294 - What About Desire? - by Submitted on May 07, 2012 from Amy Jo GoddardIf you’ve read my articles you know I see sexual energy, creative energy and spiritual energy as coming from the same well. We have a desire for sex, for affection, for a lover, to create art and beauty, or to connect to the divine, and if that desire is there, then the energy and material to ...
Views: 726 - Why Men Don’t Get Help For Sex - by Submitted on Jun 25, 2012 from Amy Jo GoddardI was again faced with a typical scenario this past week in my work as a sex coach. I received an inquiry from a man who said he wanted help. I hesitated because I don’t really work with men and they tend to waste my time. I have a number of structures in place to assure me that someone is a ...
