Sexuality can feel difficult for many people and may bring up feelings such as guilt, shame, stress and performance pressure.
Anyone who has experienced sexual desire at some point in life has desire that can be rediscovered, even when that sometimes feels impossible. The online course LUST—for those who want greater desire is designed to help you understand your sexuality, reduce factors that stand in the way of desire and create more sustainable conditions for finding and maintaining it. The goal is to find the kind of sexual desire that gives you the pleasure you want. The course is for people both in relationships and on their own.
