The late and great Jack Morin was a sex therapist in San Francisco and author of several books including The Erotic Mind. His work offers profound insights into not only what causes relationships to breakdown over time, but also on what makes a successful relationship work. He was one of the first to bring the ideas of positive psychology into the field of sex therapy with frameworks like Peak Erotic Experiences and Core Erotic Themes.
Dr. Jack Morin was one of our biggest advocates, consultants and collaborators as we pioneered the field of somatic sex education with the Sexological Bodywork training in 2003. He was a regular advisor to Joseph Kramer, Ph.D in the development of the training, and worked in collaboration with many of the first generation of Sexological Bodyworkers.
Dr. Jack Morin was also a pioneer and early advocate for anal pleasure and healthy anal sexuality. His book, Anal Pleasure and Health, was a groundbreaking book that countered the homophobic narratives about anal eroticism and invite readers into a healthier relationship with their buttholes! Dr. Jack Morin was a friend and advisor to Chester Mainard, who was Chris’ primary mentor and massage teacher.
Dr. Jack Morin died on June 14, 2013. He was 67. We give thanks to Jack Morin for his legacy of education, advocacy and leadership. We are grateful for your professional generosity and mentorship. Rest In Power and may your words continue to reach generations to come!
