David has developed and teaches a non-sectarian training program for spiritual practice, utilizing an integral approach to non-dual sexuality.

In 1995 and 1997 respectively, he published his first two published books, Intimate Communion and It’s A Guy Thing, introducing some of his concepts such as his model of psycho-sexual development and an understanding of non-gender-based masculine and feminine identities in Western culture.

He went on to publish books such as:

- The Way of the Superior Man (1997, 2004), summarizing his view of men’s socio-cultural evolution
- Waiting to Love: Rude Essays on Life After Spirituality (2001), a more non-dual approach to life, love, and intimacy.
- Dear Lover (2002, 2005), focusing on women’s third-stage practices involving exercises of compassion and devotion
- Finding God Through Sex (2002, 2005), practices for dissolving fear and self-boundaries while sustaining self-integrity
- The Enlightened Sex Manual: Sexual Skills for the Superior Lover (2004), an introductory program for sexual yoga in the book
- Naked Buddhism: 39 ways to free your heart and awaken to now (2002)
