What’s your Erotic Blueprint?

Sexologist Jaiya Ma on achieving the red-hot relationship you deserve


Listen on iTunes

What have you been taught about pleasure? What have you learned about sexual connection? Does the very thought of answering those questions make you uncomfortable?

In this episode, our host, Ana Yoerg, sits down with renowned sexologist, Jaiya Ma, and her partner, Ian. They’ll talk about the Erotic Blueprint, and how understanding your own and your partner’s Blueprint can set you free from shame and bring you the extraordinary sex life you’ve always wanted.

Who is Jaiya Ma?

Jaiya Ma is a somatic sexologist, the author of Red Hot Touch and founder of New World Sex Education – a company dedicated to using education to help men and women get the sex lives they’ve always wanted. Her mission is to help unleash erotic ecstasy and shift the cultural view of sexuality from being something that is bad, wrong or shameful to something that is seen as healthy and worth cultivating, and even worth celebrating. Jaiya may be one of the world’s most famous sexologists – she has appeared on The Doctors, GMA, Nightline and CNN. She’s also been a guest speaker at Tony’s Platinum Partner events.

What is the Erotic Blueprint?

Jaiya created the Erotic Blueprint framework to help you discover your personal map of sexual arousal and how you can understand yourself and your partner on a deeper level than ever before. The five Erotic Blueprints are the ultimate language of connection, passion and sexual satisfaction:

  1. Energetic: Enjoys anticipation and tease and is aroused by energy over touch.
  2. Sensual: Aroused by the senses, including sound, taste, smell and touch.
  3. Sexual: Aroused by sex itself; this type thinks of sex as old-fashioned fun.
  4. Kinky: Aroused by things that are taboo to them, but this can come with shame.
  5. Shapeshifter: Adventurous and creative; aroused by all of the above

Connect with your partner more deeply

Great sex isn’t just about being able to communicate what you need, it’s about speaking the same language as your partner, and learning how to honor and fulfill their needs. This is the path to connection. And it’s the way to opening up new possibilities for seduction, enticement and a deeper level of intimacy than you’ve ever experienced before.

Tony often talks about trading your expectations for appreciation, and Jaiya echoes these thoughts. She says that connection must start with appreciation of all that your partner has done for you. “Don’t come from a place of lack, that they need to change or you need to change,” she says.

Enjoying the journey

Jaiya also says, “We get so fixated on the goal we forget the journey.” This applies to our relationships in general, but also to each sexual encounter. Especially for long-term couples, life often tends to get in the way – and we can find ourselves in sexless marriages. Keeping the spark alive is no longer effortless, but we can still plan for passion. Remember that there is an artistry, to both your relationship and your sex life, and it takes time to explore and expand into new territory.

Who is Jaiya Ma

Ready to change your relationship for the better? It could start with your sex life. Remember, “Really expressing yourself in your relationship is pretty unique and pretty frightening for a lot of people,” as Jaiya says. But with the right knowledge – and the ability to embrace and nurture both your own and your partner’s Erotic Blueprints – you can rekindle your relationship and have the red-hot sex life you deserve.
