Enjoy the best opportunities, relationships, intimacy, & sex possible!

Hello and welcome! My name is Digger and I help people with a wide range of issues across all types of platonic & intimate relationships – from friends, family, colleagues, communities, to lovers including intimacy and sex. I can help you develop your relational, charismatic, emotional, & erotic abilities for a life full of the best professional opportunities, relationships, intimacy, and sex possible! 

We’re all born with the potential to create deeply fulfilling human connections and mind-blowing intimacy. Yet for most of us, this potential has been poisoned by the toxic culture around us. As your coach, I can help you overcome these barriers to attract & create deeply fulfilling relationships & intimacy.

We can tackle shame, repression, limiting beliefs, old patterns, and more for a life with less pain and more joy. We can build charisma and confidence in healthy and fulfilling social, relationship, and erotic skills. Some of the most common issues addressed in my practice are detailed in the Benefits page.

I bring a masters degree in psychology plus a bachelors degree in biology and extensive training in sexuality, comedy, communication, charisma, and the Somatica® method of coaching. I also draw from from 5+ decades of professional and personal life experiences across the globe, inspired by cultures with healthier relationships and sexuality. My personality balances profound inquiry with play and humor for an encouraging and uplifting presence that leaves others relaxed, comfortable, and seen without judgement. For more about my life journey and qualifications, check out the About Me page.

This is not psychotherapy. This is somatic coaching that often harnesses embodied practices and experiential learning to accelerate the integration of shameless authenticity and optimal relationship skills. I tailor my approach to your needs, drawing from a broad range of skills and styles. For more about how I work, check out The Work page.

I recommend that you select a coach that you feel safe, warm, and comfortable talking with. To find out if that’s me, I hope you’ll accept my invitation for a free initial consultation.

Benefits

Question: How can I benefit from working with a sex & relationship coach?

I can help with a wide range of goals across all types of relationships from friends, family, colleagues, communities, and lovers. I’ll start below with my specialties that set me apart from similar coaches, but be sure to keep scrolling past the images that separate sections about specific coaching benefits around sex & intimacy, kink & BDSM, relationships, & charisma.

MY SPECIALTIES: 

  • Gay Sex & Gay/bi/curious Men (MSM): While I welcome clients of all genders & orientations, my own personal life journey as a gay Daddy dude has me perfectly suited to work with gay, bi-, or curious men of all gender identities. Or folks of any gender who want a fuller understanding of pleasuring bodies with penises.
  • All Relationship Orientations: I’ve been monogamous, open, and polyamorous with extensive training & resources that make me well adapted to work with people of all relationship orientations.
  • Kink/BDSM: I have a long journey from vanilla through various kinks myself. I’m well versed, learned, and kink fluent with ample resources no matter your fetish. I can help you understand and embrace the eroticism of even the most taboo or unusual kink. I have some myself 🙂
  • Charisma: Charisma will literally make you more attractive – physically, sexually, platonically, & more. I employ evidence-based strategies to develop your personal magnetism to attract the best attention and deeper connection from suitors, friends, families, even career opportunities. Ask me how.
  • Life Design / Habit Design: Design the life you want by adopting good habits & ending bad habits. I teach empirically sound strategies based on the latest scientific research for effective, efficient, & easy life habit design. This can target any area of life, even beyond relationships.
  • Human Selection: How many times have you had to choose a professional, such as a therapist or sacred intimate and had no clue how to choose one? My graduate degree included scientifically backed strategies for selecting to hire the best professionals of all stripes. This can also be applied to selecting roommates, partners, friends, & lovers.
  • Humor/Comedy: Everyone can learn how to be more funny, and I can help. While humor is fun, it’s not frivolous. It’s good therapy, a good connection device, and a harbinger of compatibility & intelligence. I’ve aced the basic & advanced programs at the SF Comedy College to foster funny. I’ve done successful NSFW on-stage standup comedy and I have a rather comical YouTube channel. I can help you develop an irresistible sense of humor that is authentic to you.
  • Sex & Drugs: If you are struggling with and want to stop or reduce sex-related drug use, read on. Drug use is popular with sex to medicate the wounds of a sex-negative, homophobic, toxic-masculine, patriarchy. Drugs get us out of our heads & energized into our bodies. They numb away cultural & religious shame &  inhibitions to help us connect, with power, to our authentic sexuality. Unfortunately, they also have dangerous downsides that can destroy lives. They temporarily reclaim the erotic empowerment that was stolen from us by the toxic world around us. Working with a sex coach can eventually help you enjoy all these benefits with reduced or no drug use. Ask me all about it.

Sex & Intimacy

Sex Coaching | Intimacy Coaching

Sexual shame and misinformation affects everyone at some level – either personally or through others around us. This often disconnects people from their authentic self and prevents them from pursuing and building fulfilling relationships and intimacy in life. This can lead to dissatisfaction, loneliness, depression, despair and many other challenges that can often be addressed through sex & intimacy coaching. Common goals & issues addressed in my practice include:

  • The Hottest Sex Life: I can help you explore, discover, and understand your authentic desires, fantasies, and hottest turn-ons. We can consider the breadth of options for relationships, sex, and intimacy with non-judgmental and fact based considerations. I can help you pursue your desires safely with skills in the art of seduction and sex without shame. I can also help you understand others’ desires and how to bridge the differences. We’ll work through shame or discomfort toward self-acceptance and love so that you can pursue your true desires to build the life of your dreams.
  • Deeply Fulfilling Intimacy:  Our sex-negative, shame-riddled culture makes it difficult to be our authentic self for fear of judgement, rejection, humiliation, or worse. Plus it is very rare to witness optimal self-knowledge & relationship skills. These are essential to fulfilling relationships. We can identify & overcome such barriers while incorporating innerpersonal & interpersonal skills to attract & build your life full of fulfilling authentic relationship(s).
  • Shame and Sex-Negativity:  We’ll uproot the sex-negativity of our culture and learn to vigilantly detoxify it from your life. We’ll work through and build defenses against insidious shame and internalized homophobia that impedes true intimacy.
  • Sexual Health & Education: As a sex educator, I can share open, honest, factual, and thorough sex-positive education that is based on pleasure and science rather than dogma and shame. We can clarify and deconstruct cultural biases and miseducation that inhibits your full potential for thriving intimacy and connection.
  • Red Hot Erotic Technique: Learn basic to advanced love technique including psychology, communication, context, anatomy, and physiology of sex.
  • Experiential Learning: We can practice skills in communication, conflict resolution, and touch to deepen your relationships and enliven passion, desire, and erotic empowerment. Experiential sex & intimacy coaching can help you improve your ability to emotionally and physically connect with yourself and others.
  • Sexual Dysfunctions and Difficulties: We can address trauma, anxiety, low desire, confidence building, phobias, erectile dysfunction, condom fatigue, painful intercourse, challenges to orgasm, lackluster sex, and inexperience.
  • Sexy Communication & Negotiation:  We can practice effective communication to create a safe space with partner(s), which is integral as a foundation for authentic intimacy and hot sex.
  • Consent:  Learn how to respect consent and boundaries while building, rather than losing, the organic passion of the moment.
  • Getting What You Want, and Stopping What You Don’t Want: I can help you discover and share your boundaries in a sexy, clear, and loving way. And I can help you sense to respect your partner’s boundaries even when they can’t.
  • Conflict Resolution: “Conflict” is sadly often synonymous with “violence” in our dysfunctional society because, for many of us, violence is the only way we have seen conflicts “resolved.” But in fact, with the proper skills, this need not be the case. Conflicts can be resolved in more relaxed ways that deepen intimacy, safety, and closeness. I can show you how.
  • Sex Without Drugs: Intoxicants are used as a shortcut to bypass shame and tap our authentic and uninhibited, fully embodied sexuality. I can help get you there sober or in recovery from addiction.
  • Selecting Professionals: With extensive education in employee selection and an understanding of the various related professional domains that can support your goals, I can help you select effective and quality professionals of all kinds – both conventional and unconventional.

Charisma

Charisma Coaching

Contrary to popular misconception, charisma is not an inborn trait, it’s actually learned. Charisma is the combination of 3 fundamental ingredients: power, presence, and warmth – all of which are essential for true happiness and are usually acquired in childhood through loving and charismatic role models. But the research is clear: it’s never too late to learn how to be charismatic.
 
Charisma will benefit your relationships in all realms by deepening connection and magnetizing your likeability and attractiveness as a friend, coworker, or lover. If you’ve ever marveled at the inexplicable appeal of the ‘ugly hot’ – their secret is charisma. Google ‘ugly hot’ to see pictures of Mick Jagger or Woody Harrelson or other celebrities who, despite rather goofy looking faces, have incredible sex appeal through their embodiment of charisma. Charisma is also highly advantageous to your platonic and professional relationships –  including career opportunities and advancement because professionals often hire and promote the people they LIKE best. Charismatic people are influential and this benefits people-oriented careers like management roles. Charisma is also an essential trait for executive positions.
 
We can work together to improve your charisma with simple practices to build your power, presence, and warmth for the life of your dreams! Start your journey today with a free initial private consultation Zoom call you can book now by clicking here.

The Work

I understand that this kind of work can be scary and intimidating for many people. That’s why my first priority is to help you relax and find comfort as your friendly fellow human at your side helping to improve your life, in a playful, explorative way without judgement nor expectations. I pride myself in providing an encouraging, uplifting, and warm presence that balances profound inquiry with play and humor. Clients often report that I help them feel very relaxed, comfortable, and seen without judgement. 
 
Let me be clear: this work is NOT about changing who you ARE, NOR is it to teach you to ACT in a manner that is inauthentic or incongruent with your values. This work is NOT to convert you to anything except discovering and embracing your authentic self, working through shame, and re-examining old patterns and lessons to see if they still serve you. It’s about trying on behavioral skills to find those that make you shine inside and out while completely in alignment with your authentic self and values so that you can live the happiest life possible.
 
In my practice, I strive to create a safe space for you to explore, grow, enjoy, and overcome any obstacles limiting your authentic and best self. We can work together to find and develop the intimacy and connection that is right for you. We can make an effective plan for successful habit change. We can practice conversations and movement for flirting, dating, conflict, charisma, and more. This can include candid discussions and learning about your style, communication, sex, relationships, and intimacy. Of course, we’ll discuss your history and patterns as appropriate. 
 
Part of our work will be experiential. We can’t learn how to play an instrument by just reading and talking about it. The same goes for charisma and emotional and physical intimacy. You will learn skills through interactive practice with embodied experiences which will impart a deeper sense of ease and confidence. For a sense of the Somatica® Method I often employ, check out the Somatica® Sessions YouTube Channel.
 
Our work is strictly confidential with the standard exceptions that require reporting instances of suspected ongoing child, dependent adult, or elder abuse, or upon determination that a client presents a serious danger of physical violence to themselves or others (this does not include consensual BDSM acts of course).
 
Sessions are moving from 75 minutes to 50 minutes as of January 2023 but longer times can be arranged. Skype and telephone appointments are also available.
 
Question: How is this style of coaching different from traditional psychotherapy?
 
I am NOT a pyschotherapist. As your coach, I work to create a safe and healthy relationship & intimacy laboratory for embodied experimentation with you, which will impart a true experience of what healthy relating looks and feels like. This will give you a better ability to identify and create it in the real world. Because we’ll harness various types of learning, senses, and engagement then transformation can come quicker than if we stuck to simply talking. We can practice conversations and movement. If appropriate for your goals and within mutually agreeable boundaries, we can harness touch and/or erotic engagement within specific learning exercises as practice for the real world. Our work is always clothing-on with no genital stimulation nor lips kissing. 
 
Traditional psychotherapy, or what is often called ‘talk therapy’, on the other hand, usually focuses on conversations to uproot and correct ongoing behavioral patterns. This is much more restricted in terms of boundaries and physical engagement with a practitioner. Where somatic experiences are included they are separate from, instead of directly engaging with, your therapist.
 
You can’t learn to ride a bike simply by talking about it, so working with a somatic coach, for some people, situations, and goals, can be a quicker road to transformation than working with a talk therapist.
 
One is not better than the other – they are different and depend on you, your needs, issues, and goals. My coaching often complements concurrently working with a therapist.

About Me

Digger Keith

Qualifications & Training:

I am a sex-positive, often-kinky, cisgender, mostly-gay daddy dude who strongly values sexual, gender, and relationship diversity. I see clients in person in the San Francisco Bay Area (SF & Oakland), and virtually worldwide via Zoom.

I am educated & experienced in sexuality, biology, anatomy, physiology, nonviolent communication, psychology, habit formation, charisma, comedy, and the Somatica® method of sex & relationship coaching. As a life-long learner, I draw from decades of professional and personal life experiences across the globe, inspired by cultures with healthier relationships and sexuality.

I grew up as an awkward out-cast in sex-negative, puritanical, and homophobic middle America. I’ve tried the inauthentic life and it sucked real hard. When I came out in the early ’90s, LGBTQIA2+ role models were hard to find.

I’ve worked through our culture’s negative judgment and beliefs about my body, my relationships, and my sexuality. I’ve persevered with confidence to pursue my desires and build profoundly supportive, loving, and sexy relationships.

My passion is empowering others to overcome shame, repression, and fearful limitations to create a life full of joy, wonderful relationships, and mind-blowing sex. My style of relating is profound and thoughtful in balance with play and humor when & where appropriate. 

My vision is a world where all people are afforded the support, information, and transformational experiences to grow into the wonderfully diverse, fully empowered, and shamelessly authentic versions of ourselves. Join me in building a society that flourishes in healthy relational & erotic skills that forge the best relationships – from friends to community to colleagues to families and, of course, to lovers.

Choosing a coach is a big decision. I recommend to select a coach that you feel safe, warm, and comfortable talking with. To find out if that’s me, I hope you’ll accept my invitation for a free initial consultation Zoom call. I can share my approach particular to your situation and goals and answer any questions to help you decide if I’m the right fit for you. To book your free call, click here.

Reviews

“For the first time in a long time, I was comfortable with someone in an intimate space, with no fear of being hurt, or not meeting expectations. I could say “I can do this” and enjoy the moment….The feeling is indescribable; it is the true sense of “empowerment.” ….your smiles, and patience, and tenderness were an essential part of today’s accomplishment. Please accept my thanks, from the bottom of my heart. Every moment of intimacy from here forward will be in part because you helped me reclaim the ability to be intimate with someone. And that’s on top of all the outstanding information that you shared…” (Name changed to respect confidentiality)

Oliver, age 58

“Digger’s openness and non-judgmental embrace feels like I have made a new friend for life, one who not only cares about my happiness, but has the skills, heart and tools to make it happen. Somehow this beautiful guy is both man and boy, reassuring friend and hot stranger, a companion to go where you want, but also a leader whose wisdom will get you there safely. He can create an awakening for joyful new chapters in your life, and restore your confidence to make your dreams come true.”

Stan, Age 63

“Digger has an easy-going style that is supportive, non-judgmental, and nurturing….He genuinely enjoys what he does which I find empowering as it provides me the license to push through old boundaries…. he helped me (re)discover the inherently playful nature of sex and that which makes me attractive regardless of age, physique, or experience. He helped renew and accentuate my enthusiasm to explore, be myself, and gain a sense of confidence I never had. Digger provided me the chance to be confident around my sexuality. Confidence opens new doors to intense and playful opportunities. Community ideals regarding beauty continue to be our own worst enemy; Digger helps me distance myself from those ego deflators and barriers to fully enjoy and explore my sexuality. I find him an irresistible breath of fresh air. He is honest, earnest, bright, and sexy as hell.”
