What if the connection ended, but your body, emotions, and spiritual life still felt altered? Sexually Transmitted Demons begins with language many sensitive readers already use and refuses to leave them trapped in fear. Will Bourne examines what can linger after intimacy through spiritual reflection, attachment, emotional contagion, trauma-informed care, grief, consent, and nervous-system learning.

Enter the conversation behind the book.
The conversation begins with a phrase charged with fear before anyone has had the chance to explain what they actually experienced. For some readers, intimacy ended but the relationship still seems present in the body, emotions, habits, memory, or spiritual imagination. They know something changed, yet the language available to them can make that change sound like contamination.
