Free Giveaway & What's happening in the Psychology of Desire Realm
The Desire Dispatch #01– June Edition
Firstly, welcome to all of my new subscribers! It’s a pleasure to have you here and to explore the Psychology of Desire with you.
From now on, I’ll be sending out a Desire Dispatch at the end of every month to give a round up of what’s been happening in the Psychology of Desire Realm— and to let you know what’s next!
The Desire Den Is Now Open
I’ve officially opened the doors to The Desire Den, a private Discord sanctuary for sensual thinkers, writers, and psychological explorers of eros.
Inside, we have over 40 rising fiction writers, fetish experts, a Mistress Slave couple, erotica writers and more!
Together we inspire and help each other to grow, with live writing events where we write together, support channels, constructive feedback and supporting each other’s posts on Substack.
It’s amazing watching us all grow together!
Each month, I’ll spotlight 3 Desire Den member’s writing here in The Desire Dispatch.
Here are this months highlights:

Research Projects Open for Participation
Two research projects are now live, and your anonymous contribution helps shape the next wave of desire psychology:
Firstly, The Deep Desire Project: Mapping the terrain of erotic dreams and fantasies.
The mission of this project is to decode the psychological, physiological, and cultural influences on erotic dreaming and fantasy. This project blends questions about sleep science, Jungian psychology, and sexuality research to create a never before seen dataset. In short this project aims to be the largest Library of Erotic Dreams in the World!
Click here to be part of the Deep Desire Project.
Secondly, The Female orgasm survey: Her Climax Code
Her Climax Code explores female orgasm patterns, meaning-making, and sexual identity. This project will directly shape next month’s Case File on Female Orgasm—a deep dive into the neuroscience, psychology, cultural narratives, and real-world data behind the female climax.
Click here to take part in the Her Climax Code Female Orgasm Survey (all genders welcome).
In Case You Missed It- Other June Highlights
Debut of the Psychology of Desire: Case File Writing series— where I dissect the hidden logic behind our most curious turn ons and erotic fixations.
Debut of the Unspoken Desires Writing Series—where I explore the psychology of hidden desires—those shaped by power, trauma, identity, and the unspoken rules of culture.
I introduced the concept of the Golden Erotic Shadow™.
Last Chance: Activate Your Desire (Presale Ends Soon)
My $37 mini-course Activate Your Desire™ is almost ready to launch—this is your final chance to get it at the presale price.
In it, I introduce the Desire Activation Model™—a new framework to help you understand:
Why your desire starts, shifts, or disappears.
Your unique Desire Style.
The Myth of Spontaneous Desire.
How to re-ignite your erotic self.
How to explore and understand your partner(s) desire style.
Grab the presale before the price increases here.
Later in the year I will be releasing my signature course: Decode My Desire. This is the deeper journey—the full map. It’s where I walk you through the erotic architecture of your mind, help you uncover your hidden turn-on patterns, and explore desire from the inside out. This is also available for presale- grab it for a highly discounted price here (thanks to everyone who has jumped on board already!).
