Lucid masturbation - The truth behind the peak

We, Mareen and Juliette, invite you to a weekend of being nerdy, creative and maybe lustful. Converse with the protagonists of your deepest fantasies, and discover more about your true desires. What do you really want in this world, in your sex life and in your relationships? 

Embedded in a rich variety of somatic exercises, we will explore David Schnarch`s method of Lucid Masturbation for 2,5 days. Yes, we are going to masturbate together. Each day, in different ways. But this is just the vehicle for the deep dive into your subconscious. This workshop might give you inspiration and insights about compulsive behaviour in sexuality, porn, dating and relationships. 

David Schnarch began developing this method in 2020, shortly before he died. There are different things you could do with lucid masturbation. We will enter a lucid state through embodied pleasure activation in order to engage with the images and protagonists of our fantasy. In this state we can consciously explore and even influence the storyline and its emotional imprint. 

You can make your fantasies sexier. You can change them in a way that is nourishing, empowering and inspiring. You can let go of a fantasy altogether. Or create a new one. You can deepen, vary and expand your fantasy. For example, if you need to draw on specific scenarios in order to be aroused, then lucid masturbation might expand your spectrum. If you think you don`t have any fantasies, this method could help you develop some. Perhaps you may also better understand your mental or emotional vulnerabilities and compulsions and encounter them with more agency. 

We will create a container for you to take a closer look at how you pleasure yourself and what brings you to peak arousal. But beware - you, your fantasies and the way you pleasure yourself may no longer be the same.

This deep dive needs some clear rules to create a safe container for exploration: We masturbate in a group setting to support each other, yet each person focuses on themselves. We will request you to turn your gaze inwards. You can also use a blindfold if you wish. It is not about performing, but about your own personal experience. We will connect to our own bodies, our self-love and desire. However, high arousal is not necessary. Connecting to the images in a sensual and curious way is enough. Your limits are welcome. There will be some possibilities to create a more private self-love corner or nest if you wish. Nakedness is welcome, clothing also. 

This workshop may involve somatic exercises with duos or groups, however we will not be engaging in mutual intimacy, erotic or kinky play. We will explore and embody aspects of our fantasies (solo) but not stage and enact them. If you are interested in such explorations, we welcome you to also attend our 4-day workshop Let me be your Fantasy in March 2026 at IKSK.
