About This Course
Your Struggles, Solved
Genital touch might be our most underutilized tool for pleasure and connection. Yet many of us approach it with hesitation, uncertainty, and self-imposed pressure.
You're likely facing:
- Performance Pressure - You focus so much on pleasing your partner that you create tension, diminishing pleasure for both of you.
- Technical Uncertainty - You're unsure if your touch techniques are effective, leading to hesitation instead of confident exploration.
- Vulnerability Barriers - Discomfort with genital touch prevents you from fully experiencing or expressing pleasure during intimate moments.
This course teaches you practical techniques for confident, mindful genital touch. You'll learn the foundations of "relaxed giving" and "active receiving" that transform intimate experiences. Discover specific touch methods for different genital anatomy, along with communication approaches that build trust and deepen connection with your partner.

Libby Sheppard
Touch & Intimacy Expert
Libby Sheppard is a specialized Intimacy Coach and Bodyworker with over a decade of experience transforming how couples experience touch. Her unique expertise combines professional massage techniques with advanced training in Somatic Sex Education, The Wheel of Consent, and Tantric Bodywork—creating a distinctive approach to genital touch that's both technical and deeply connected.
Libby's journey began in music and contemporary dance, where she developed an intimate understanding of body mechanics and physical expression. This foundation led her to recognize touch as our most underutilized wellbeing tool, especially when couples struggle to connect non-verbally. She witnessed how miscommunications around touch silently eroded relationships for years, inspiring her to develop protocols that anyone could practice—regardless of setting or previous comfort level with intimate touch.
Libby's revolutionary "relaxed giving/active receiving" philosophy transforms genital touch from a performance into a conversation. She specializes in translating professional techniques into accessible practices that require no special equipment—just presence and intention. Her trauma-informed methodology ensures everyone can benefit from her teachings, creating a safe environment to explore pleasure without pressure.

Libby Sheppard builds from fundamental concepts to more advanced techniques, ensuring everyone can follow along comfortably. The step-by-step approach means you'll never feel lost or overwhelmed, regardless of your starting point.
Libby provides specific guidance on introducing new touch techniques naturally into your intimate experiences. You'll learn communication frameworks that help ease transitions and express desires without breaking the mood. Many students find that starting with the "relaxed giving" approach significantly reduces awkwardness, as it shifts focus from performance to connection.
While having a partner allows for immediate practice, singles absolutely benefit from this course too. You'll gain valuable knowledge about anatomy and responsive touch that builds confidence for future relationships. Additionally, many techniques can be applied to self-pleasure, helping you better understand your own preferences and responses.
Many students report immediate improvements in confidence and communication after applying just the foundational techniques. The full transformation – developing a truly mindful, responsive touch approach – typically evolves over several weeks of practice. The beauty of this course is that each technique provides its own benefits, so you'll likely experience progressive improvements rather than waiting for a single breakthrough moment.
Unlike many approaches that focus solely on mechanical techniques, Libby's method uniquely balances physical skills with mindfulness and communication. The integration of "relaxed giving" and "active receiving" creates a feedback loop that transforms touch from a one-way experience into a dynamic conversation. This course specifically addresses the mental barriers that prevent fully embodied touch, not just the physical movements.
Absolutely – addressing this exact discomfort is one of the course's strengths. Libby creates a comfortable learning environment by using clear, matter-of-fact language without being clinical or crude. The feedback frameworks you'll learn provide practical vocabulary and approaches for discussing preferences without awkwardness. Many students report that this course transformed their ability to communicate about pleasure.
Libby specifically addresses this common concern with practical scripts and approaches for established relationships. You'll learn to frame new techniques as exploration and enhancement rather than correction. The course includes specific guidance on inviting a partner to learn together, creating a collaborative adventure that strengthens your connection rather than suggesting inadequacy.
