Giovanni Trimble's career path might look eclectic on paper—performance artist to art therapist to behavioral scientist to sextech consultant. But there's a thread connecting every stage, and it runs straight through the body.

And on the stage, I learned how vulnerability, and presence can shift an entire room. And that taught me early on that intimacy isn't just emotional. It's spatial. It's sensory. It's relational."
