Relationship Counselor & Clinical Sexologist of Eros Coaching Dr. Martha Tara Lee and Psychotherapist and Sexological Bodyworker Dr. Peter Howie are bringing you Celebrating Pleasure for May 2020! You get one free daily prompt supporting you to return to pleasure in your life for the month.
May is International Masturbation Month. Why a focus on masturbation? Well, to quote from the folks who put the day together back in 1995 (google will show you this is not fake news): “Why Masturbate?
Because masturbation is immensely pleasurable, invigorating, rejuvenating and fun.
Because sexual pleasure is each person’s birthright.
Because masturbation is the ultimate safe sex.
Because masturbation is a joyous expression of self love.
Because masturbation offers numerous health benefits including menstrual cramp relief, stress reduction, endorphin release, stronger pelvic muscles, reduction of prostate gland infection for men and resistance to yeast infections for women.
Because masturbation is an excellent cardiovascular workout.
Because each person is their own best lover.
Because masturbation with a partner can be educational and hot.
Because masturbation increases sexual awareness.
For these and many other reasons we celebrate International Masturbation Month and affirm the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness and sexual pleasure!”
These private Facebook groups are separated along gender identities because Martha has had group members report episodes of unwanted sexual harassment due group rules and been separating them with success. So, Peter will be leading the group for people who identify as men, Martha for those who identify as women, and together they will support the all-gender one.
Each day we will be sending pleasure oriented reflections to invite the members to focus on different elements of pleasure: mental, emotional, somatic, and spiritual with an added emphasis on practice and integration.

About Dr. Martha Tara Lee
Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee set out to make a positive difference in embarking on her doctorate in human sexuality before launching Eros Coaching in 2009. Today, she remains dedicated to working with individuals and couples who wish to lead self-actualised and pleasure-filled lives.
She also holds certificates in counselling, coaching and sex therapy, and her fourth degree – a Masters in Counselling in May 2018. In practice for more than 10 years, she is the only certified sexuality educator and certified sexuality educator supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) in Singapore.
Often cited in the local media, Dr. Lee is the appointed sex expert for Men’s Health Singapore, and Men’s Health Malaysia. She was recognised as one of ‘Top 50 Inspiring Women Under 40′ by Her World in July 2010, and one of ‘Top 100 Inspiring Women’ by CozyCot in March 2011. She has published four books: Love, Sex and Everything In-Between, Orgasmic Yoga, From Princess to Queen and {Un}Inhibited.
Martha works with individuals and couples in private coaching sessions, and conducts her own workshops. She takes prides in making sure all her workshops are also fun, educational, and sex-positive. This comes easily to her because even though she is extremely dedicated and serious about her work, she fundamentally believes that sex is meant to be fun, wonderful, amazing and sacred. As such, this serious light-heartedness has shone through again and again. For her full profile, click here. Email her here.
