Educatrix Consulting: Book an appointment with Tina!

I’m a creativity consultant and sex coach specializing in sexual subcultures from pornography to queerness, leather to polyamory. I bring 20 years of experience in the sex industry, plus a parallel career in journalism and professorship to a practice I call Educatrix Consulting.

At universities and community centers, I’ve facilitated space for hundreds of adults to deepen their erotic self-understanding, ethics, and style. Combining pop culture savvy, literary archetype analysis, and fearless obscenity, Educatrix Consulting is precisely what you need to satisfy your cravings.

An Educatrix session can take one of two paths (although oftentimes they intertwine): creative consulting and/or personal life coaching. Let’s talk about which one works for you in a $20 half hour intro session on Zoom. (scroll down to book!)

Creativity consulting can involve assistance on any medium and any stage of a creative process. I can motivate you like a personal trainer, give you care like a doula, or boost your confidence in your own powers like a 1980’s hype man who wants to see your name in neon lights. I believe in your project as much as if not more than you do.

Publishers have hired me to do development edits on the memoir of a famous sex educator, academia about sexual sociology, and self-help books about erotic pleasure.

When the TV studio FX was looking for a BDSM consultant for pro-domme scenes in the ground-breaking series Pose, their NYC producers asked me to join Jennie Livingston and Janet Mock on-set.

I’ve wrangled dick pics for a Hollywood comedy, coached an actress on preparing for a role as a dominatrix, handed robes and trickier modesty garments to actors playing porn stars on indie films.

You want to work with me if:

  • You’re at any stage of a book: idea to draft to structure to manuscript to publishing to promotion.

  • You’re a film producer, playwright, or TV director who knows you need authenticity advice, intimacy coordination, and/or a sensitivity read on topics of sex work, BDSM, queer identity, and other counterculture themes.

As a Consultant, I specialize in:

Personal coaching: I’ve also coached hundreds of individuals on their fantasy and relationship desires.

Whether you’re a divorcee ready to get back in the saddle, a pro-domme needing help with expanding your fetish clientele, or just someone who needs a place to process polyamory, Educatrix Coaching is here to offer you compassionate support. I can teach you concrete technique, support you in conceptualizing erotic meaning, and help you build your confidence in being the freak you wanna be! I’ll ask you lots of questions, give you lots of custom journal prompts and wacky metaphors, and simply be the discrete, witty, non-judgmental part of your support system with whom you can share your innermost desires.

You want to work with me if:

  • You’re a sex professional looking for help fine-tuning your offerings. 

  • You need a safe space to discuss your erotic imagination with someone very knowledgable, who has the tools to help make your fantasies come true!

  • You desire more excitement and deeper intimacy in your love life.

As a Coach, I specialize in:

  • Working with fellow pros on communicating their fetish archetypes to sustain dynamics with clients, and how to develop fresh content for their fansites

  • Developing dirty talk style, advanced relationship communication technique, and erotic personas

  • Exploring role play archetypes, partner dynamics, and fantasy scenarios, inspired by everything from Jung to D&D to Tarot

  • Understanding your own personal WHY you’re “into that” — whatever you’re into — and how to make it HAPPEN for yourself!

I also have a long program of workshops on everything from writing craft to dirty talk! If you’re interested in booking me for your community center or university, click here…

I’m really looking forward to getting to know you! xo Tina Horn

What people are saying:

“Tina Horn has a sixth sense for storytelling. Her development edits on my occult horror novel were incisive and creative and helped to guide the book to a much stronger place. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of art, literature, film, and underground culture of the past and present, which means that every suggestion or answered question is informed by theory and history. I learned something new about my craft and my genre during every one of our editorial calls. Tina also has a knack for deep reading and listening. She really understood my story and my characters, which made her feedback all the more helpful. Balancing critical commentary with notes about what’s working well, Tina always made me feel supported during this very vulnerable process. Her editorial acumen and her intuitive grasp of the dark, the weird, and the uncanny, is second to none!” – Kristen J. Sollée, author of Witches, Sluts, Feminists

“Tina was instrumental in shaping Sexual Pleasure For Dummies (Wiley, 2026) and making it a more inclusive read. Throughout the editorial process, Tina provided thoughtful feedback and posed the necessary questions for clarifying the material for a wide range of readers. The book truly wouldn't be what it is without her!” — Myisha Battle

“As a trans woman and as an actor, I needed someone to help me get to a place where I could live the trauma of Blanche DuBois fully but also safely every night. Tina worked so generously with each actor individually and all of us as a team to create our own shared language around safety and she showed up fully prepared with in depth research on the gender roles and queerness during the play’s time period, the emotional and physical scope of the play itself, and each characters’ role in the story. We all learned so much together about ourselves as the characters, ourselves as actors, and ourselves as humans through this work with Tina and I am so grateful to her for creating the space for me to do my absolute best, most honest work. I cannot recommend her enough and have often ever since!” — Ell Peck, first transgender actor in the role of Blanche in a US production of A Streetcar Named Desire

“Tina empowered our actors to be brave, to communicate in a way that felt both raw and trusting. She helped our team leap safely into the messy poetic depths of Streetcar. Tina generously brought the sum of her life experiences to give the cast a vocabulary to think about the role of intimacy and physicality in our play. Where we arrived was a gritty, unapologetic reckoning with the dark sexual violence of the material. With Tina’s work, the actors were able to take a leading role in driving the conversation around how these themes were represented and rendered with their bodies. She is an incredible collaborator.” — Kevin Hourigan, director, A Streetcar Named Desire, off-Broadway, 2019

“I worked on my memoir with Tina Horn, and she is a phenomenal editor. Because she is also a writer, she has deep compassion for writers about the process, yet she will also give it to you straight! She asked me a series of questions which helped me really hone in on the vision for the book. She can see both the details and the big picture, which is invaluable. Her suggestions fundamentally changed my book for the better.” — Tristan Taormino, author, A Part of the Heart Can’t Be Eaten

“As an intimacy coordinator, Tina is incredibly thoughtful and pragmatic. Her years of working in and writing about porn & sex work means she has an extensive, grounded understanding of how people feel & relate to their bodies in sex, and how we as viewers relate & interpret sex on screen - all this brought an extra depth to Tina’s work. She approached the scene with incredible care, working with the actors to create organic intimacy and movement that both served the characters and storytelling of the film, but also protected the actors involved. Tina fostered an environment on set where the actors felt protected and respected, which allowed them the freedom to play the scene and bring magic to the moment. I cannot recommend Tina highly enough.” — Isabel Ellison, writer/director/actor, Loud & Longing
