About This Course
Your Struggles, Solved
Touch is a profound language we often speak without fluency. Reconnecting with mindful, consensual touch unlocks deeper intimacy and transforms physical connections.
You're likely facing:
- Disconnection from Your Own Pleasure - You've learned to focus on your partner's enjoyment rather than tuning into what feels good for you.
- Nervous System Responses That Derail Touch - Past experiences may trigger shutdown or discomfort during intimate moments, creating barriers to connection.
- Unclear Boundaries & Communication - You struggle to express desires clearly or understand who's truly giving and receiving in touch interactions.
This course teaches you to navigate the Wheel of Consent, separating giving from receiving for greater clarity and pleasure. You'll learn practical techniques to ground your nervous system and awakening your sensory awareness. These embodied practices help you communicate boundaries confidently, follow your authentic desires, and transform touch into an art form of connection.

Michael Dresser
Sexological Bodyworker & Intimacy Coach
Michael Dresser is a Certified Sexological Bodyworker and Core Faculty Member at the School of Consent, specializing in transformative touch practices and the Wheel of Consent framework. After guiding countless individuals and couples toward more fulfilling physical relationships, he's developed a revolutionary approach to consent that makes intimate connection feel natural, practical, and genuinely sexy.
After spending 20 years in London's fast-paced professional world, Michael experienced a profound personal transformation in his relationship with intimacy. This turning point revealed the power of separating giving from receiving – what he calls "non-reciprocal touch" – which freed him from performance pressure and revealed authentic desires. This discovery became his mission: helping others move beyond touch that's clouded by obligation to experience connection that's clear, consensual, and deeply pleasurable.
Michael's approach centers on practical, immediately applicable skills rather than theoretical overload. He breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized exercises that create noticeable shifts the very same day. Students consistently describe his teaching style as warm, accessible, and refreshingly straightforward – making the seemingly complex world of consent feel natural and even exciting.
Course FAQ
Not at all! Michael designed this course for all experience levels, from complete beginners to those with some familiarity with conscious touch. The Wheel of Consent framework is introduced from the ground up, and all exercises include step-by-step guidance that builds your confidence gradually. You'll start where you are and develop your touch fluency at your own pace.
While having a partner can enhance your practice opportunities, this course is designed to benefit you whether you're single or partnered. Many exercises focus on self-awareness and your relationship with your own body first. If partnered, you'll receive guidance on how to introduce these concepts collaboratively, but solo students will still gain valuable skills they can apply to future interactions or practice with trusted friends.
Michael addresses this directly with practical integration techniques throughout the course. You'll learn how to introduce consent conversations naturally, practice grounding techniques that take just seconds, and gradually incorporate new touch approaches. The course includes specific language examples and transition suggestions that help you bring these practices into intimate moments in ways that enhance rather than interrupt connection.
Many students report immediate shifts in their awareness during the body scanning and conscious touch exercises in the first modules. The nervous system regulation techniques often provide noticeable calm within the first few practice sessions. The deeper integration of the Wheel of Consent typically unfolds over several weeks of practice, gradually transforming how you experience touch and communicate about desires.
This is common! Michael provides specific guidance for introducing these concepts to hesitant partners, focusing first on the practical benefits like clearer communication and more satisfying physical connection rather than theoretical frameworks. The course includes "invitation scripts" and low-pressure exercises designed specifically for easing in reluctant partners. Many students find their partners become enthusiastic once they experience the immediate benefits of more attuned touch.
Unlike approaches that focus primarily on techniques or positions, the Wheel of Consent addresses the fundamental dynamics underlying all touch interactions. It creates clarity about giving and receiving that resolves confusion many couples don't even realize they have. Michael's integration of nervous system regulation alongside consent practices is also distinctive, addressing both the psychological and physiological aspects of intimate connection for more comprehensive transformation.
Absolutely. The nervous system regulation section specifically addresses how to recognize and gently work with freeze, fight, or flight responses during intimacy. Michael teaches concrete grounding techniques that help you stay present in your body when triggered. Students with histories of disconnection often find these practical tools particularly valuable for rebuilding trust with their own bodies during intimate encounters.
