Erotic Mapping
🧠 Erotic Part (IFS): An Internal Family Systems-Inspired Sex Therapy Intervention
Get to know the parts of you that hold your erotic power.
Developed with Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles in mind, the Erotic Part worksheet invites individuals to explore, map, and build a relationship with their sexual and erotic inner parts. This tool helps clients better understand the complexities of their arousal, behavior, and identity—through curiosity, compassion, and connection.
🔍 What it is:
A guided therapeutic worksheet that helps clients identify, visualize, and dialogue with their "Erotic Part"—an internal part that may carry desire, pleasure, shame, protectiveness, or playfulness. The intervention explores triggers, sensations, imagery, sexual stimuli, goals, and alignment with sexual health principles (like consent and shared values).
💡 What it includes:
Somatic and emotional prompts for erotic self-inquiry
Questions about stimuli, kinks, sexual history, and associations
Reflections on consent, honesty, and protection within internal systems
A mapping section for identifying accelerators (turn-ons), brakes (turn-offs), narratives, and performance dynamics
🧠 Why it works:
The Erotic Part (IFS) tool supports clients in understanding how sexual and erotic responses are not random—but shaped by internal roles and functions. This insight allows for deeper healing, especially when past trauma, shame, or conflict interfere with pleasure.
🌈 Best for:
Sex therapy clients with trauma, shame, or identity questions
Individuals wanting to integrate sexuality into their self-understanding
Therapists using IFS or parts work in sexuality counseling
Those exploring kink, fantasy, or erotic expression in a safe, structured way
✨ Your erotic self is not a mystery. It’s a part worth getting to know.
