ABOUT ARTEMISIA DE VINE

"If Betty Martin and Jack Morin had a love child, and she did sex work for decades—that's Artemisia."
—Katherine Control, Seattle-based pro dominatrix

For over 30 years, I have been on a relentless pursuit to understand the deeper forces at play in human desire, particularly through the lens of sexual fantasy. After spending 12 years as a professional dominatrix and full-time sex worker, I developed a completely new approach to sexual fantasies—one that goes beyond traditional therapy-based models, which often pathologize or trivialize them.

Through The deVinery Method, I offer a revolutionary framework that reveals sexual fantasies as paradoxical story maps—designed not just for pleasure, but to shift states of consciousness, dissolve ego resistance, and unlock profound erotic states of being.

I now teach some of the world’s leading sexologists, therapists, writers, filmmakers, and public intellectuals, guiding them to uncover the hidden logic of desire, integrate its wisdom, and translate it into their work, relationships, and creative expression. My expertise is sought by those at the cutting edge—people who refuse to settle for surface-level understanding and are ready to explore the transformative power of the erotic psyche.

My upcoming book, The Spirituality of Smut: The Surprising Wisdom of Sexual Fantasies, distills my life's work into a bold, paradigm-shifting exploration of how fantasies reveal the exact stories our ego needs to hear in order to let its guard down—allowing us to move from "I" to "we," and sometimes even to states of expanded consciousness.

If you are someone who understands that sex is more than mechanics, that desire is a force to be understood rather than feared, and that sexual fantasies are not random but deeply intelligent, I invite you to explore my work.

I am based in Australia but teach internationally, working with select clients one-on-one and offering in-depth training to those ready to engage with these ideas at the highest level.
