Sexological Bodywork is a profession recognized by the California State Board of Education, developed in the 1980s by Dr. Joseph Kramer, and adheres to the Code of Ethics of the Association for Sexological Bodyworkers.
WHAT iS SEXOLOGiCAL BODYWORK?
Sexological Bodywork is a form of somatic sex education that utilizes body-oriented techniques such as touch, communication, breath, voice, and movement to support a fulfilling sexual life. Throughout life, emotional stress, suppressed feelings, trauma, cultural conditioning, religion, and personal upbringing can create wounds. These experiences, along with negative life events, are stored in what are known as protective membranes (barriers) within the body.
These wounds and negative life experiences are stored in the body as so-called protective membranes (barriers). These barriers often keep us in physical and emotional distress, accompanied by feelings such as fear, shame, grief, or anger. This can lead to sensory-motor amnesia (numbness), tension, pain, or sexual dysfunctions.
The goal of Bodywork is to dissolve these physical and emotional barriers, allowing the body to become sensitive, open, and free again. The method combines various touch, breath, sound, and movement techniques with elements of trigger point therapy, physiotherapy, trauma healing, as well as the traditional teachings of Tantra and Tao. Through gentle and intuitive stimuli, the flow of energy is stimulated, and the connection between body and soul is harmoniously restored.
WHY BODYWORK?
In today's world, we often unconsciously treat our bodies like tools, as our attention is constantly directed outward. Work, family, news, social media, and other stimuli disconnect us from our bodies’ true needs. We ignore warning signs such as pain or discomfort or suppress them with medication. In the long run, this leads to exhaustion, tension, and the feeling of merely existing rather than truly living.
Conscious bodywork helps us turn our focus inward. Through breath and touch, we learn to perceive our bodies and listen within. This not only brings relaxation but also enables us to release destructive patterns and recognize bodily signals early.
By becoming more mindful of ourselves, we start to communicate our needs more clearly, set healthy boundaries, and appreciate ourselves. This strengthens our self-worth, self-awareness, and self-love.
