Simone Giaquinto (born 1981), Chairman and CEO of PROTEGENS LLC, travels all over the world coaching and training privates and companies. His books fall into two categories: Tactical and Well-Being however both from the Holistic point of view.
1. S.O.S. (Simo Operational System)—his elite operational experience captured on the page.
S.O.S. is also a fundamental part of his lifestyle and professional life. S.O.S. can be defined as a integrated protection system originally developed for military personnel, police officers, and security professionals; it encompasses a wide range of disciplines—from IDB (Italian Dirty Boxing, codified by Simone) to military knife and dagger combat, firearms training, and safe/tactical driving, as well as other tactical elements derived from his own field experience. Today, he travels to provide training to companies and individuals, both military and civilian since the system extend its self to a method of psychophysical stress management also undependet of combat situations. Simone Giaquinto spent twenty-seven years conducting high-risk international operations, working in hostile theaters, unstable environments, and complex missions where mental clarity was the only true weapon.
As an operational instructor, he has developed several training programs for different bodies and trained:
• Rapid-Response Units
• Special Forces
• Government security units
• Private military contractors
• Protection professionals
• Corporate teams
• Elite athletes
• Civilians in general
• Women in advanced empowerment programs
2. WELL-BEING—his discipline, metaphysical movement, and life concept—which views the human being as a whole rather than a fragmented entity;
He is the founder and mastermind behind the PORNHOLISTIC concept/Life Style/Brand, which has nothing to do with porn!
It is a philosophy that elevates sexual energy from a mere physical act to an integral, holistic experience where body, mind, and spirit merge into a single symphony of ecstasy and connection. From ancient greek: porneya, to show yourself and holos: entire, whole; the courage to reveal oneself naked — not just in skin, but in identity. Simone says: "By combining porneya and holos, the freest word in my vocabulary is born." : PORNHOLISTIC!
Yet this philosophy extends beyond sexuality; it originates in Simone’s mind, drawing upon the Italian systems-thinking of Leonardo da Vinci—who never separated opposites such as art and science, theory and practice, and so forth. It also stems from the ideas of Gabriele D’Annunzio—a writer, poet, famouse libertine and officer in the Italian Navy’s special forces during the mid-20th century—who, following Da Vinci’s lead, championed the notion that the brilliance of the stars can only be admired against the backdrop of a dark night. This refers not only to the darkness of life’s events but also to the darkness of one’s own inner demons. Furthermore, Simone looks to Italy’s *Dolce Vita* era—not from a cinematic perspective, but rather for what it truly was: a metaphysical revolution after the 2nd War World in which people revealed themselves fully, without compartmentalizing their identities.
Simone Giaquinto has been widely published in American industry magazines, including *US News*, *Today’s Read*, *New York Review*, *Women’s Insider*, *Medium*, *Women’s Reporter*, *Men’s Insider* and *The Leader Report*. His writing style is unmistakable: direct, candid, deeply sensual, and imbued with rare psychological insight. Before dedicating himself to international travel organizing coaching sessions and training events, he spent twenty-seven years living a high-risk life in challenging professional environments, serving as a soldier, an elite police operative, a private military contractor (PMC), and an unconventional bodyguard. His daily life was divided between the extreme, hostile environments where he practiced his profession and the tenderness and eroticism of skin-to-skin contact, where he discovered the deepest part of himself. Only when he stopped fighting the demon within—and stopped compartmentalizing the man, the warrior, the lover, and the entrepreneur—did he begin helping people find their center.
