When we say America, we mean across the Americas. North, Central and South America. We also include the Caribbean region of the Americas. In an effort to diversify the ever growing field of sexology, we would like to see it bloom outside of the liberal cities of the US and Canada. This is how we ensure that happens.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email info@americansexology.org . We aim to respond quickly—usually within 2-3 business days.

AASS accreditation process for organizations and institutions launch immediately following our 2026 annual meeting in Panama City, where members will vote on and approve the official rubric. This ensures a democratic, community-driven process that reflects our collective standards for excellence in somatic sexology training

We’re establishing accreditation to elevate somatic sexology as a credible, evidence-based field—protecting clients through verified ethical practices, consistent training quality, and measurable outcomes. By setting clear benchmarks for curriculum, instructor qualifications, and somatic safety, we bridge body-centered education with mainstream healthcare recognition, fostering trust and accessibility across the Americas.

Programs meeting our rubric gain public directory listing, research collaboration access, and AASS endorsement—driving practitioner legitimacy while inviting innovation in trauma-informed, inclusive intimacy education and practices. Organizations interested should join as Institutional Members now to shape the process from the inside
