Embodied Anal Pleasure: Breath, ConsentEros, and Prostate Play with Dr. Charlie Glickman

Dr. Charlie Glickman shares a rich tapestry of wisdom gathered from decades in sex education and somatic healing, beginning with a personal back injury that catalyzed his understanding of the power of pelvic bodywork. He explains how shame is stored in the body and how hands-on practices can liberate people from its grip, especially around the often-avoided area of anal pleasure. He reframes anal sex as a deeply embodied, healing experience that must center breath, consent, and emotional safety—dispelling cultural myths of pain and performance. Through stories of healing, shadow play, and prostate empowerment, Charlie advocates for sexual liberation grounded in curiosity, compassion, and somatic awareness.
