When are you going to write your book?
and how did you become a Sex Engineer?
It’s the question I’ve been asked again and again. After twenty years, I’ve finally decided to answer it—properly—in a book.
Chloroform to Climax is part autobiography, part professional reflection. It traces the unusual path that led me into the work I now do as a Sex Engineer & Sensual Masseur.
When I first sat down to write, I knew I didn’t want “just another memoir” or a dry technical manual. My aim was to bring together story and science, emotion and education—just as I do in my practice.
I took inspiration from Robin Baker’s Sperm Wars, where each chapter combines a vivid story with the science behind it. I loved how that format made the biology real, grounded in lived experience.
In my book, the stories come in two forms:
- My own (sometimes unbelievable) journey of becoming a Sex Engineer—a term I coined because “sex therapist” or “sensual masseur” never quite captured the scope of my work.
- Case studies from the thousands of clients I’ve worked with over the past twenty years, showing how life experience, training, and instinct come together in practice.
The result is both a personal memoir and a practical guide to intimacy—woven together, not bolted on.
If you’d like to start reading as the chapters unfold, join me on Substack and get early access to Chloroform to Climax.
