What she wishes
you knew.
Most men were never taught how desire actually works. Not really. This June, New Zealand's leading sexologist for men is running two events, specifically for men. Covering everything you weren't told, and everything that changes when you know it.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Everything you were never
actually taught.
Most men figure this out through trial and error — if at all. What we absorb from culture, films, and peer groups is largely wrong. Desire isn't just physical. It's contextual, responsive, and deeply connected to confidence and connection.
When you understand how it actually works, the guesswork stops. And everything changes.
Whether you're in a long-term relationship, dating, or somewhere in between — this is the information most men never get. These events change that.
85%
of New Zealand men don't feel confident in their sexual performance. It's not a personal failing — it's an education gap that these events close.
0
formal lessons most men receive on how desire actually works — ever. That's the gap these events close.
"Most men tell me the same thing — they've never talked about this with anyone. Not a friend, not a partner, not a doctor. They've been figuring it out alone."
- Rachel Strevens, Sexologist

EVENING · IN PERSON · AUCKLAND
What she wishes

Friday 19th June 6.30pm - 8.30pm
A relaxed, straight-talking evening built for men. Grab a beer after work, learn what nobody ever told you about desire and connection, and leave with something you can actually use.

WHAT CHANGES
What men tell me
after they do this work.
01
The guesswork stops
When you understand how desire actually works — for her and for you — confidence becomes stable. Not dependent on a single good or bad night.
02
Connection Deepens
Men consistently report that this work changes their relationships and dating life. More presence. More confidence. More like themselves.
03
The weight lifts
Carrying this privately is exhausting. Men who do this work describe the same thing first: relief. Then clarity. Then momentum.
YOUR GUIDE
"This isn't therapy. It's practical, and it works."
Meet Rachel -
NZ's leading sexologist for couples and men.
I'm Rachel Strevens — Sexologist, Sex Coach, and founder of The Passion Project. I work with men, women, and couples across New Zealand who want to reclaim pleasure, deepen intimacy, and stop leaving their sex & intimate lives to chance.
My work is grounded in research from the Sexual Health Alliance (USA) and the latest science on desire, attachment, performance anxiety, and sexual confidence. I've been featured in the NZ Herald, Capsule NZ, and Woman's Day.
The men I work with tell me the same thing: they've been figuring this out alone for years. They didn't need fixing — they needed someone to finally explain how desire, confidence, and connection actually work. That's what I do.

COMMON QUESTIONS
You probably have
a few questions.
Is this for men in relationships, or can single men come? Both — absolutely. The content is relevant whether you're in a long-term relationship, dating, or single. Understanding how desire and attraction actually work benefits every man regardless of where he's at. You don't need a partner to find this useful.
How explicit is the content? Direct, not overtly graphic for the sake of it. Rachel covers real topics — desire, arousal, communication, confidence, anatomy & pleasure spots — using clear language and plain English throughout. The goal is understanding, not titillation. Men consistently say it's far more approachable than they expected.
I've already taken the Bedroom Confidence Quiz — is this relevant to my result? Yes — and it's the natural next step. The quiz tells you where you're at. These events give you the understanding and tools to change it. Whatever your result, the evening event is a great starting point. The Intimacy Masterclass is ideal if you want to go deeper.
Do I need to bring my partner? No. These events are designed for men only. The insight you take home is more useful when you've had time to process it yourself first. Some men do decide to come back to a couples workshop with their partner.
Is this confidential? Absolutely. Any personal stories that are shared in the room stays in the room. The Intimacy Masterclass has a strict confidentiality agreement for all participants. Rachel also operates under professional ethics standards as a qualified sexologist and coach.
What if I want to work with Rachel privately after the event? 1:1 coaching for men is available and can be discussed at the event or via the website. Many men start with an event and move into private coaching from there — it's a natural progression. No obligation, no pressure.
