Level Up Your Sex Life With Shan Boodram’s The Art of Sex Appeal

Most of us strive for a passionate, fulfilling, and pleasurable sex life. However, getting (and maintaining) the kind of sex life that you want can be a challenge. Many struggle with talking about sex at all, lack sexual confidence, and/or doubt their own skills in the bedroom. These and other concerns prevent people from tapping into the benefits of having a healthy sex life, which include improved overall well-being [1], greater life satisfaction [2],and enhanced relationship satisfaction [3].

So if you’re looking to give your sex life a boost, what can you do? We’ve all come across vague advice online, like “communicate more,” “be more confident,” and “engage in more foreplay.” However, this advice often falls flat because it doesn’t tell us how to actually do these things. Thankfully, there’s a solution. Shan Boodram has a new class on MasterClass titled The Art of Sex Appeal that is designed to meet you where you are and teach you how to ignite your confidence, define your desires and communicate them to others, create deeper emotional intimacy, and bring the spark back into your relationship.

Shan is an AASECT-certified sex educator (who completed her certification requirements through our friends over at Sexual Health Alliance) and bestselling author, renowned for her expertise in modern dating, relationships, and the psychology of intimacy. She has built a her career by offering relatable, science-backed insights on love, sex, and relationships.

This two-part class covers a ton of ground and provides a wealth of information on how to have better, hotter, and more passionate sex, as well as how to create irresistible attraction. Some of the specific topics addressed include:

• Tips for more effective flirting
• Identifying your own and your partner’s turn-on triggers
• Tips for better orgasms and unlocking more pleasure during sex
• Navigating situations where you and your partner have different desires
• Identifying what it is that makes you sexy

Each lesson in the class offers evidence-based advice and practical examples on how to enhance your sex life.

For example, Shan provides specific examples of how couples can explore each other’s erogenous zones (i.e., areas of the body that are responsive to erotic stimulation). She walks you through the major zones and, along the way, gives tips on specific ways you can try exploring them. Likewise, Shan provides a number of helpful frameworks for having healthy and productive conversations with a partner, which she demonstrates through candid conversations with real-life couples.

She also details a number of specific sexual positions that can help to maximize pleasure, no matter your gender or sexuality. In addition, the class includes a downloadable “Class Guide” that provides even more ideas and suggestions for how to improve your sex life, including toys you might try to spice things up. It also includes a list of prompts to explore with your partner to invite new ideas into the bedroom, such as “Are you interested in involving food during sex,” or “Would you like it if I spoke dirty to you throughout the day?”
