Sexuality Scene Check (Deep Dive)
Your sexuality scene deserves more than just surface polish—it needs depth, dimension, and direction. This 60-minute coaching session offers writers a chance to fully explore the emotional, psychological, and structural layers of an intimate scene through a sex-positive, story-first lens. Whether you’re crafting a pivotal first encounter or revising a layered moment of intimacy, we’ll work through a proven framework to ensure your scene feels authentic, character-driven, and narratively essential. You’ll receive expert feedback on a scene up to 2000 words and be guided through three powerful worksheets:
- Plan Your Scene Type – Understand the scene’s function in your story and what it should accomplish.
- Sexuality at the Scene Level (PEMS) – Address the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dynamics at play.
- The 5 Cs of a Scene and 5 Cs of a Sexuality Scene – Clarity, Consent, Communication, Conflict, and Change—your blueprint for meaningful erotic tension.
This deep dive goes beyond what’s on the page to uncover what your scene needs to truly resonate.

TESTIMONIALS
“Dr. J. has an intuitive sense for what makes a scene with sex work in fiction. She has an eye for the underlying motivations each character should bring to the table in order to create satisfying emotional payoff. Her experiences as a sex therapist, sex educator, and fiction writer give her a unique ability to give feedback on sexuality in the context of storytelling.”
~ Kaitlin Schmidt
“Dr. J.’s insights were an amazing help. She encouraged me to consider who my characters were before my story began, and what elements of their development and sexual history had a bearing on how they might react and interact in the ‘snapshot’ that my story represented.”
~ Posy Churchgate
