Dan Powers – My Story
Waking Up
I grew up in the South where nobody ever talked about sex in a constructive, loving, or pleasure-based way. When I was first introduced to Tantra, a whole new world opened up for me. I learned how to have productive conversations about sex which led to the most amazing feelings of connection. I discovered the depths of sexual intimacy, open conversations about different possibilities and desires, and was able to express my desires in ways that were mutually beneficial to me and my partner.
Becoming a Daka
A “Daka” is a male educator/healer/guide who has the capacity to remain objectively present and grounded while purposefully employing erotic energy to evaluate, counsel and address a client’s deeply personal issues regarding sexuality, intimacy and relationships. As I became more well-rounded in my education around practical sexuality teachings I evolved into a Daka. What I learned in my journey as a Daka was that women had it even worse than I had expected or believed.
Change of Paradigm
Culturally, pleasure and sex seemed reserved for men to receive; women, it seemed were there to support men’s pleasure. That’s a hard belief to swallow. There is an old adage that says “when momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy” and I believe that to be true. Women for centuries have been cast as the temptress and the cause of men’s evil ways. Most of the blame, look at our laws, target the women. The scarlet letter was for the woman to bear. This is a very patriarchal point of view. I believe women have as much right to pleasure and sexuality as men. Yes, women bear a harsher reality to the negative outcome of casual sex such as pregnancy, but I believe we are all responsible. Women need to be as educated about the pleasures, value and health benefits that pleasure brings. Throughout my practice, I have seen how pleasure heals.
Engineering mindset
As a software engineer, I worked to apply systems to building software applications, processes, and structures. I decided to apply that skillset to become the Sexual Engineer I am today. I now have over 15-years of practical experience working with women to help them increase their pleasure. I utilize the most recent scientific research, utilize tools (toys), and create processes and structures that enhance the experience of my work.
A voracious learner
My education has taken me to many places and from each teaching I’ve incorporated the things that I felt relevant to supporting women in their growth as sexually empowered beings. For example, I have learned that stillness is a thing. While many men are busy trying to do something that involves a lot of motion, simply being still can feel richly rewarding to a woman. Female Ejaculation (squirting) is also a thing. I have learned the nuances of the different areas within the vagina that can bring intense pleasure in addition to evoking the elixir of life also known as female ejaculate.
Integrity is everything
In the time of the #MeToo movement, I have endeavored to practice with high integrity so as to create as safe a space as possible for women to learn and grow. I have had the support of incredible mentors to help guide me along this journey. I am human and I’ve made mistakes. I have taken responsibility and held myself accountable for whatever harm my mistakes created.
Integrity is extremely important in the process of building trust between me and every client I work with. Trust is something that I seek to earn in each and every interaction as it is earned over time. Trust can be lost in an instant. I adhere to a strong code of ethics that serve as the foundation of all of my work.
My work, my practice
I call this a practice because my clients aren’t mathematical formulas that follow exacting principles. I am continuing to learn and apply teachings and skills I’ve learned over time in a way that addresses the uniqueness of each client. I strive to meet each one of my clients right where they are. Over time, I have learned to read the energy of my clients to help provide the best session I can deliver. I believe my success is attributed to focusing on what women want and need. I’ve patiently supported women who have processed through tears, screaming anger, giddy laughter and sheer excitement. Most of all, I create and provide a safe environment for women to nurturing their passion and pleasure so that they thrive.
