Tarot for Intimacy (explicit)
Tarot is particularly helpful for working through emotional and psychological concerns, because it enables the reader to assess a given situation from new angles, considering factors that might have been previously missed or not given due attention. This makes it a useful tool for tackling issues related to intimacy and sexuality. I've created spreads for menplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSexual Issues - For Men

Spread Notes

As the imagery in a deck can pretty significantly influence the reading and how the cards are interpreted, I think it can be helpful to use adult decks with these spreads.
There are a good number of decks on the market with unashamed nudity, such as the Alchemical Tarotplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigAlchemical Tarot
Deck Notes
The fourth and fifth editions of The Alchemical Tarot use the same images, both front and back.
Card Gallery and Celtic Tarotplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigCeltic Tarot
Deck Notes
Card Gallery decks, but these tend more toward illustrative rather than titillating images, with nude figures frequently representing virtue, integrity, and purity. Sexually-themed decks, on the other hand, depict explicit scenes of human sexuality. As of now (2023), there are only a handful of sexually explicit tarot decks in the US market. You can browse a selection of these decks below.
Unfortunately, every erotic deck I've seen includes a lot of degenerate and violent scenes, which I find unappealing and inappropriate for the kinds of readings I do. The Sexual Magic Tarotplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSexual Magic Tarot

The Decks

This deck is based on a collection of 14th-century Italian stories titled Decameron, written by Giovanni Boccaccio.
