About Gratification has been a successful experiment in pleasurable group living for over 20 years. The cornerstone of our philosophy and lifestyle is the concept of perfection.​Our working premise is that people and situations are right the way they are and that perfection includes the potential for change. We are social researchers and study in the living laboratory of life. We explore what reliably works and what doesn't work for creating a happy life. That includes, among other things, pleasurable interpersonal relationships, good, effective communication, and a gratifying sensual life. We present our findings to the public in the form of courses.
