There is a certain irony in the breathless effusiveness of the accolades once lavished upon investment banker-turned-sex therapist Michael Lousada.
Feminist author Naomi Wolf, who helped propel the orgasm guru into the spotlight when she featured him as an expert in her 2012 book Vagina, wrote of him thus: ‘Mike Lousada is the world’s nicest former investment banker turned male sexual healer.’
She went on, in colourful detail, to describe how Lousada had delivered her to a state of ‘oceanic bliss’ (not via intimate means) and ‘sexually healed or sexually enhanced the response of hundreds of women through a combination of Tantric gaze and touch, and orgasmic ‘yoni massage’; ‘yoni’ being the Sanskrit word for vagina, meaning ‘sacred space’.
