Through a combination of talk therapy, personalized coaching, and hands-on bodywork techniques, trained professionals known as Sexological Bodyworkers (SBs) support clients in exploring and expanding their sexual knowledge and skills.

POSITIVE, UP TO DATE, SOMATIC SEX EDUCATION

The Sexological Bodywork™ approach to promoting positive sex education and holistic bodywork, recognizes that sexuality is an integral aspect of human experience, and that sexual concerns may originate from physical, emotional, and psychological sources.

Sexological Bodyworkers (Sex Bods) collaborate with clients to cultivate a deeper awareness and comprehension of their physical bodies. A certified Sex Bod assists people of all genders to get to know and be in touch with their genitals, their anatomy of arousal, body shame issues, releasing cellular trauma, dissolving intimate scar tissue, understanding their libido and hormone health, personal desires, fantasy, gender awareness, porn addiction, learning about consent and boundaries, while addressing any obstacles that hinder the experience of pure human pleasure, orgasm and connection.

SEXOLOGICAL BODYWORK TECHNIQUES

Certified Sexological Bodywork

Sexological Bodyworkers employ a diverse range of techniques to support their clients on their journey towards improved sexual well-being. Some of the techniques that may be utilized include:

Breathwork: Focusing on conscious breathing techniques can help clients connect with their bodies, increase awareness, and deepen their sensory experiences.
Active Receiving: This approach encourages active engagement and openness, enabling clients to fully immerse themselves in their physical sensations and experiences. It provides a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore various sensations, touches, and pleasures without feeling obligated to reciprocate or engage in mutual touch. By focusing on personal exploration, clients have the opportunity to delve deep into their own bodies, discovering new levels of sensation and pleasure at their own pace and comfort. This technique respects individual consent and boundaries and allows for a unique and personal journey of sexual self-discovery.
Anal Mapping Bodywork: Through a gentle and respectful approach, Sexological Bodyworkers provide support to clients in exploring the anal area. This exploration can lead to the discovery of new sources of internal pleasure by awakening the sensitive nerve endings in the coccyx region. By doing so, blocked emotions and cellular trauma can be released, promoting relaxation of internal muscles, awakening more pleasure and expanding the client’s understanding of their heart, body, mind and spiritual connection. This process is carried out with utmost care and consideration for the client’s comfort and consent, creating a safe and supportive environment for their personal exploration and growth.
Genital Mapping: Through sensitive touch and guidance, Sexological Bodyworkers support clients in developing a deeper connection with their genitals, promoting hormone health, addressing genital dysfunction, awakening to orgasm and multi-orgasmic states of consciousness while increasing physical self-awareness and exploring the profound human potential for pleasure.
Scar Tissue Remediation: For individuals with scar tissue resulting from surgeries or trauma, Sexological Bodyworkers employ specialized massage techniques to help release tension, free blocked trauma, dissolve genital scars, restore feeling and sensation, while promoting positive holistic sexual healing.
Open Communication: Encouraging open and honest communication about desires, consent, boundaries, and personal experiences is a fundamental aspect of Sexological Bodywork. This facilitates a safe and supportive space for clients to openly and without judgement talk about their sexual issues, express their needs and preferences.
Orgasmic Yoga Coaching: Sexological Bodyworkers provide coaching and guidance to clients, helping them cultivate a mindful and pleasurable relationship with their own bodies. Through this process, clients can explore expanded states of arousal and tap into their heightened orgasmic potential. The aim is to assist individuals in developing a deeper understanding of their unique pleasure pathways by discovering new ways to experience pleasure through masturbation. With the support of a Sexological Bodyworker, clients can address body touch shame, explore techniques, sensations, and arousal levels that can enhance their solo sexual experiences and promote self-discovery and personal sensual and sexual growth.
