Topic -Public Masturbation : <br /> Doing a self-pleasure ritual with a group is an advanced practice. It is crucial that <br /> everyone is truly focused on themselves and not just harvesting energy from <br /> watching others touch themselves. To get to a place where people can do this, it <br /> is important that the ritual be held in a space of love, trust and awareness.

The distinction is crucial because I have to believe that I am doing a <br /> service and benefitting others. If I am just doing something for money, it is far too easy <br /> to start violating my own boundaries and this can be dangerous spiritually, <br /> psychologically, emotionally and even physically because we are talking about sex <br /> which carries risk of sexually transmitted diseases. <br /> Towards an Erotic Ethics Forum <br /> Here I note that in our efforts towards effective sexual healing and <br /> empowerment, we have no board that we are licensed by with legal authority <br /> behind it. Unlike doctors, <br /> lawyers, massage therapists, psychologists, and many other professionals, those <br /> who do sexual healing work do so under a cloud of suspicion and threats of fines, <br /> imprisonment or worse. Just doing sexual healing work that involves genital <br />
