So what exactly is an Erotic Blueprint? And what does that say about us and our sex lives? Lea is here on todays podcast to tell us ALL. In fact, there are a lot of stereotypes about what provides a fulfilling sex life... Sex techniques are no guarantee of orgasmic bliss, and using the wrong technique or approach on the wrong person can create turn off, shutdown, and possibly even traumatic response. As a former high performance coach for Tony Robbins and Master trainer for The Erotic Blueprint™, Lea helps busy individuals overcome the cycles of overwhelm and exhaustion so that they can live lives ~dripping~ with pleasure.

On the show today we cover:

• The 5 Erotic Blueprints!!
• What living each Blueprint uniquely means
• Arousal mapping
• How we can live our lives filled with sexual satisfaction
• Compatibility and chemistry with a partner
• How we can authentically express ourselves in the bedroom
• Ways we can begin to unstuck ourselves from half-lived lives
• How to better speak our truths based on our Blueprints

Take the Erotic Blueprint Quiz and discover your type!
(If you have the means, I suggest taking the paid version if you're really looking for an in depth breakdown)
