Description

Tugce Balik believes that pleasure is essential to our wellness. She blends Western science with Eastern traditions to help people heal, reconnect, and feel at home in their bodies and with each other. She’s a certified Tibetan Tantra practitioner and an American Board-Certified Sexologist with a focus on healing through embodiment. Her approach is gentle, empowering, and rooted in deep care. To her, pleasure isn’t something you earn. It’s your birthright, your medicine, and her work at Arya helps couples remember exactly that.


In this episode of Last First Date Radio:

  • Why pleasure is moving from taboo to essential wellness
  • Why 57% of couples can't talk about sex—and practical ways to bridge that divide
  • How intimacy impacts stress, hormones, and overall relationship satisfaction
  • How technology can help couples approach once-uncomfortable conversations 
  • Arya's Erotic Personas and how they can help partners understand each other
