What does sexual liberation
mean for you?

Yael R. Rosenstock Gonzalez with bricks background

Welcome! I’m Yael.

I'm a queer, polyamorous Nuyorican (Puerto Rican New Yorker) Jewish pleasure activist (a term popularized by adrienne maree brown) who believes that sexual wellness and sexual liberation involve our WHOLE selves. I center

♦︎ Identity, values, and social positioning work

♦︎ Playful exploration

♦︎ Intimacy with self and others 

I am here to support you in finding pleasurable, joyful, embodied experiences with self and sex through intentional practices geared towards your specific needs because sexual wellness and pleasure are for anyone who seeks them. 

 You already count. You are enough.
I'm just here if you want support in believing it

You are the key to your own sexual well-being and liberation. I'm here to help you cut through whatever is in your way so you can


♦︎ become more in tune with your body and its multiple pleasures

♦︎ set and respect boundaries, with yourself and others, to feel more safe and confident while exploring new experiences (deeper intimacy, kink, non-monogamy/polyamory)

♦︎ identify how your identities & life experiences impact your sexual well-being and lean into your personal goals

♦︎ know what you want AND how to share that with partners

♦︎ know that you are worthy and deserving of pleasure

♦︎ break patterns that are no longer serving you

What does sexual liberation mean for you?

Guía Introductoria A Una Sexualidad Positiva: Teoría, Práctica Y Consejos. Tektime. Feb 2020. (Book)

 Are you looking to find sexually or romantically compatible partners? Do you ever feel unsure about making a move or how to express new things you want to try? Do you wish you knew more ways to connect with yourself or your partner? Yael uses stories from her own life, as well as those from guest contributors, to illustrate methods and concepts for living a sex-positive, and sexually fulfilling, life.  
Part I of the intro-guide helps you develop self-awareness through an exploration of sexual identities and preferences. This awareness is good for personal development as well as to prepare you for finding compatible sexual and romantic matches while avoiding those that could lead to negative experiences.Part II concentrates on communication and consent: how to develop the tools necessary to voice your desires and boundaries while respecting those of others.Lastly, Part III provides a brief overview of ‘need to know’ material as well as recommendations for exploration and discovery.

Testimonials

  • Your narratives session changed my life.

    I wanted to let you know that taking your workshop has seriously changed my life for the better. Learning from you and going through your workshop helped reinvent how I felt about myself, what I deserved, and my goals in my love life. The insights that I gleaned as a result of that process helped me get out of a bad relationship, open my heart and my mind to futures that I really want, and helped put me on a path toward self-acceptance and love.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel happier, my spirit feels healthier, and I feel like I have a better sense of who I am as a result.

    — Emma, 25

  • As someone that comes from a culture that hardly ever addresses the topic of sex, this workshop was extremely informative. It allowed me to question and reflect on my own identity, needs, and wants from myself and the people around me without feeling like I was engaging in something that would be described as "taboo". Thanks, Yael for this workshop!

    — Reshma, 24, gender nonconforming

  • Yael helped me identify the stigmas I hold around my own sexual identities and recognize their sources. She also gave me actionable suggestions for how to confront these stigmas and feel more comfortable with my own pleasure and desires. I think the most valuable part of the whole coaching session though was that she gave me space to celebrate the progress I've already made in my sexual liberation journey. I think it's often easy to focus on what we're lacking and difficult to celebrate what we've already achieved, but Yael helped me with both!

    — Sarah, 26

  • Me and my partner both found the advice given very helpful and very beneficial to our sex lives. I highly recommend Yael as she is very understanding and works with you to find solutions or possible improvements.

    — Ari, 20 NB (Non-Binary)

  • Yael is extremely understanding and patient. She listens to each and every question, asks for clarification, and makes sure you feel heard. I've never felt judged when speaking with her about sex and sexuality!

    — Marina Nebro, 26

  • I had been struggling with feeling comfortable with my body and my sexuality and Yael had a huge impact on making me feel more confident - and most importantly I think, understood and heard. Yael has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience to share, and will even recommend other sources/experts! Yael can absolutely address more functional or technical aspects of sexuality and pleasure but she also asks you to dig deeper and reflect on what your attitudes and beliefs are around pleasure and what has shaped that. She invests equal time into making sure you are aware of the emotions and feelings that play such a big part in our relationship with pleasure. What I appreciate the most about her as a coach is how welcoming she is.

    There is no judgment, there is no ego - but there is a lot of learning and laughter! I also really respect and admire how much Yael is committed to an inclusive practice and that is part of what makes me comfortable in trusting her with my questions and experiences.

    — Camilla, 33

  • Yael is a great listener & communicator. Her assessment of what I say & feel are spot on. She makes me feel safe & I feel like I can talk to her about anything.
