A compendium FOR MEN
EROSTOCRAT
SANCTUARY OF HOLY EROTICA
-
Aristocracy traditionally refers to a ruling class, often marked by wealth, privilege, and sophistication. It can also imply a higher status or excellence in certain fields.
Mysticism is a transformative spiritual practice focused on inner experience, transcendence, and life’s mysteries. However, like an aristocracy, it can be exclusive, accessible only to a select few.
Erostocrat combines the refined qualities of an aristocrat with the spiritual depth of a mystic. Unlike elitist or exclusionary traditions, it is inclusive, distinguished by its integrity and reverence for sexuality as a sacred path to spiritual enlightenment.

SPIRITUALITY | SEXUALITY
SCIENCE | STORY | EROTIC ART
EROSTOCRAT | ONLINE MAGAZINE
Erostocrat is a limited-release online magazine and docu-series exploring the sacred intersection of sexuality, spirituality, science, story, and erotic art.
Through provocative essays, evocative film studies, and a vibrant online community to cultivate eroticism in a safe and holy way, it fosters healing, authenticity, and connection by reimagining eroticism as an essential, spiritual, embodied force of aliveness for personal and collective transformation and healing. It articulates and reconciles our divided nation’s sexual wound, beginning with the individual, reconciling our halves separated by shame.
To make the magazine and its vital message of embodiment accessible, there will be two publications of every issue: one featuring erotic art and another without.

This is where you read my INTROSPECTION of each artifact. The study summary sets the frame, tells the story, and gives introspection. It uncovers the filmmaker and subject’s journey, exploring relational and cultural dynamics, and highlight embodied experiences while maintaining ethical integrity. The summary also invites the possibility of a Higher Intelligence at play in eroticism.

EROSTOCRAT | THE STORY
When I began following the voice of “Make Holy Erotica,” I had no clear destination. The process evolved into an ethnographic video journal of eroticism, blending three distinct projects: theology examining church roots and media conditioning, somatic work from my tantra apprenticeship, and erotic art producing holy erotica films.
However, completing Magdalene Remembered defined a trilogy that shaped the core beliefs and vision for an online community to explore eroticism safely, and ultimately leading to Erostocrat—a magazine that unites the inner collective while serving as a veil, both separate from and informative to mainstream society, with a focus on embodiment and authentic expression as orientation and solution.
Inspired by the symbolic void left by Hugh Hefner and Billy Graham, I envisioned Erostocrat as a holistic trauma-informed alternative to Playboy, aimed at healing the nation’s sexual trauma with science, story, and spirituality —starting with men—while elevating and contextualizing women and non-binary individuals.
Born from a kundalini awakening—a Holy Spirit encounter—that fused my Western spirituality with Eastern wisdom, Erostocrat is foremost my personal transformative journey, but also an invitation for yours.
Erostocrat is foremost my method of deconstructing trauma and conditioning by deconstructing the medium. You can try it too!
Erostocrat is where I return regularly, like a second home, to reconnect with our original sexual narrative as human beings and revive my authentic self as Nathanael. You are welcome to join.
In a post-truth, post-evangelical era of fierce expansion and isolation, a counterbalance is needed, a shared experience of authentic erotic embodiment rooted in Christ Consciousness. This is why Erostocrat is essential.
Erostocrat is humanity.
IN ESSENCE, EROSTOCRAT IS A CONTAINER FOR EMBODIED ASCENSION. IN CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM, THIS IS KNOWN AS REVIVAL.
