The actor who starred as the cuddly T-Rex host of Nineties children's TV show Barney and Friends is now working as a Los Angeles tantric therapist, it has been revlealed.

American actor David Joyner, 52, told Vice that his decade-long stint playing a dancing purple dinosaur was helpful for his current career.

“The energy I brought up [while] in the costume is based on the foundation of tantra, which is love,” Joyner said. “Everything stems, grows, and evolves from love."

Joyner only accepts female clients for his services, and charges $350 for a four-hour session. On his website, Joyner, a former software analyst offers clients the chance to reach "a higher and more blissful state of awareness [of their] sexuality."

According to Vice, Joyner believes this "blissful state" is best achieved through unprotected penetrative sex, and claims that condoms "block the energy".

Former Barney star and man who donned the plum dinosaur outfit for more than half the show's life now operates as a tantric sex therapist in L.A., charging $350 for a session of "unprotected penetrative sex", and meets his clients on Tinder.

CLEARLY, I'm in the wrong business.

The good bits:

Joyner believes this "blissful state" is best achieved through unprotected penetrative sex, and claims that condoms "block the energy".

...

He reportedly asks clients to declare whether they have any sexually transmitted diseases, and sign a consent form, before their sessions. "Lisa", an anonymous source contacted by Vice, said she had been one of his regular clients for three years, after first making contact with him through the dating app Tinder. She added that she had sexual intercourse with Joyner during their third session, and described the experience as a "spiritual awakening"

So basically he's a bareback prostitute with some bells and whistles involving "energy" and stuff. Cool beans.
