HOLY EROTICA

  • As a Christian, I understood holy to mean "set apart" and "pure", which suggests an "impure" to separate from. In the healing community, the concept of holy is different, the reconciling of parts. To make "whole”.

    HOLY EROTICA, as the name suggests, brings together opposite halves, the pure and “impure”, to make whole and complete.

HOLY EROTICA IS A PLATFORM THAT IS DESPERATELY NEEDED AND IT’S MARVELOUSLY EXECUTED HERE WITH REVERENCE, RESPECT, AND ARTISTRY.”

SEX, GOD, AND THE CONSERVATIVE CHURCH

Welcome to HolyErotica.Org! This site is I host my Holy Erotica films, my lectures, an on-line community for screenings and discussions, and where I share stage with my co-filmmakers.

I’ve co-hosted many LIVE screenings with my co-filmmakers. The conversations afterward have been profound. The post screening vibes, exquisite. The connections that followed, magical. This community is where we replicate these experiences.

The CHURCH OF HOLY EROTICA (COHE) — not a real church — is a safe-space to confront eroticism in a safe and holy way online, a membership-supported container with professional and experienced space-holders to cultivate EMBODIMENT and ALIGNMENT in service to your AUTHENTIC SELF. Hallelujah!

MY STORY

“MAKE HOLY EROTICA”

I was in a Filipino restraurant in Queens having chicken adobo when I had a profound encounter with God. It felt like I was being ravished by the Holy Spirit! During this phenomenon, I felt words spoken in my body, clear and distinct. “Make HOLY EROTICA.”

What did this mean? What did this look like? What stirred in me seemed like I was facing my greatest fear, my religious-sexual wound. I needed a camera. When I shoot, I’m not afraid.

I followed this thread for the next 7-8 years with my camera, a journey that landed me in the Philippines where I reconnected to my cultural roots. How did I get here?

By reversing my journey, I discovered something profound: if confronting my religious-sexual wound reconnected me to my culture, perhaps it was a religious-sexual wound that severed me from it. This is how I discovered OUR NATION’S SEXUAL TRAUMA, a root wound that began on Plymouth Rock.

Fortunately, my journey of producing 3 erotic short films also left me with a DHARMA, my unique offering to heal this wound — what I call the GOSPEL OF THE BODY and the EROTIC CHRIST — teaching distinctions that expanded my Christian faith beyond my wound, to LOVE across the lines that divide our nation.

WHAT IS A FILM STUDY |

As a Christian and filmmaker, a film study is my hack to bypass my indoctrinated aversion to feminine sexuality, to get close enough it and RE-LEARN.

By deconstructing the filmmaking process, I was deconstructing my trauma. With a trade for editing and a heart for worship, I was artistically accomplishing what I had yet to feel in my body — I WAS RE-ASSOCIATING EROTICISM WITH GOD. This experiment unknowingly became a means for me to EMBODY.

This profound therapeutic process as a man, beholding behind the camera with reverence and respect, re-birthed my masculinity. It unlocked a gift, a message, and my AUTHENTIC SELF, a fearless version of me I could have never imagined.

THE FILM

STEP 1: FOLLOW MY BODY, my authentic curiosity, regardless of shame.

STEP 2: LISTEN to story. WORSHIP behind the camera. Do NOT direct.

STEP 3: EDIT. Follow.my authentic arousal, not by the conventions of my profession or what I think the story should be.

THE STUDY

STEP 1: COMPARE the finished film to my original filmming experience documented in the raw footage..

STEP 2: OBSERVE audience reaction, a forecast of the world’s reaction to my Authentic Self.

STEP 3: ASSIMILATE. Compare myself to when I started the film studies. Present my conclusions.

WHEN I SHOOT,

I’M NOT AFRAID.
