Personal & Professional Profile

Andrés Cordero, Jr.

Sex Educator, Sexuality Researcher, and Embodiment Coach
Pronouns: (he, they, él)

Overview

Welome!I appreciate your interest in who I am and what I work to offer to the world!As a sex educator, sexuality researcher, and embodiment coach, my passion is to help envision, create, and deliver projects and programs that improve the lives of individuals, especially as it relates to their sexuality.I view sexuality from an all-encompassing lens. This means that sexuality, from my perspective involves who we are, how we walk in the world, how we choose to interact with ourselves and with others, and how we express ourselves to those around us.Knowledge, for me, is the key to helping to make the world a better place for each and every person. Fear is the barrier. When we begin to explore what the world means to others, we can find within more tolerance, acceptance, and often even celebration of those in our lives.My focus on embodiment (meaning "of or from the body") is an acknowledgement that there is much that we know but are unaware of. It exists in a place we are not consciously or actively encouraged to explore. However, it often emerges instinctually, particularly when we are facing challenge and difficult times.My path to contributing to the world around me revolves around sexuality and embodiment, which is why I study, learn, and share forward what I discover in life. My desire is to offer others the knowledge, encourage understanding, and foster compassion that will lead to a better life.I hope you find the information on this site useful. Please let me know if you have any questions.Thank you again for visiting!

My Vision & Mission

Vision


“To use my skills, knowledge, and abilities to deliver on initiatives focused on fostering the re-integration of mind, body, and spirit to heal and enlighten people's lives, especially those who have been underserved, excluded, othered, or otherwise marginalized in the world.”

Mission


I empower organizations and individuals to achieve higher levels of healing and self-actualization by providing personal and organizational research, strategies, information, guidance, actionable activities, learning and development opportunities, and experiences to reach their operational and personal goals.


Objectives


  • To envision, create, and deliver information and programs that are accurate, fact-based, and easy-to-understand.

  • To advocate for the contextualization of research and data so that those who consume the information created understand the humanistic aspects of the information presented.

  • To support efforts that deliver information to individuals who encounter structural barriers to use such information, such as language, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or sexual expression.

  • To fiercely advocate for body autonomy, which includes the basic human right every individual has to be, and to express themselves as, whatever they know about themselves, so long as it creates no harm to others.

  • To advocate for the human right to self-determination, so long as the resulting determination does not violate the rights and safety of others.

  • To help others understand that beyond evidence-based observations and approaches, other observations and approaches are to be honored as a fundamental aspect of a person's autonomy and right to self-determination.

Capabilities & Qualifications

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
