Podcasts about sexological bodywork

Diese Folge hat mich so sehr gerufen, ähnlich wie die vorherige. Sie ist eine Perspektive auf männliche Sexualität, wenn auch aus Sicht einer Frau. Dafür fundiert, mit Wissen aus meinen Ausbildungen (u. a. Sexocorporel und Sexological Bodywork) und mehr als 7 Jahren Erfahrung in der Arbeit als Sexualcoach. Dort sehe ich viele Männer, die auf die eine oder andere Weise leiden in Bezug auf ihren Sex. Das muss nicht so sein, oder so bleiben! Diese Folge zeigt dir als Mann, was das volle Potenzial von Sex ist - jenseits von Performance, Porno und Penisfixierung. Und sie zeigt dir als Frau einen Blick in die männliche Welt, die dir vielleicht manchmal verborgen bleibt. Wenn du, als Mann, nur eine Folge unter allen im Podcast hören willst, nimm diese!

Victor is dedicated to supporting people in reclaiming their erotic sovereignty and removing any self-imposed, internalized or socially imposed obstacles that interfere with the expression of their bodily erotic brilliance.In this episode, we dive into the distinction between erotic and sexual—and why that difference matters.We also explore what it means to rewild after generations of colonization, and how we begin to deconstruct the narratives that have shaped our bodies, our pleasure, and our sense of self.What does it mean to rewild, decolonize, and reclaim our experience of pleasure and intimacy?How do we embody erotic sovereignty—not just in moments of intimacy, but in our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the world?Victor shares how sexological bodywork can support this reclamation, the role of conscious pleasure practices, and how we can expand our capacity to experience pleasure—even amidst chaos, collapse, and collective overwhelm.What is Covered:(00:00) Remembering Tory Capron(02:05) Understanding the concept of erotic vs sex(04:02) The meaning of rewilding(09:08) Rewilding and the connection to ancestral selves(13:07) The Impact of colonization on body and sexuality(20:13) Grief, vulnerability, shame and their connection to eros(27:22) How to deal with performance anxiety in sexuality(34:25) Why we need to slow down to reconnect with the erotic(40:05) Navigating pleasure and pleasure practices amidst chaos(46:07) What is erotic sovereignty?(51:38) The role of sexological bodywork in reclaiming erotic sovereignty(56:15) How we can reclaim our erotic nature and erotic power(01:00:06) Why each decolonization experience is different and uniqueResources:- Sign up for the Power Reclamation Newsletter https://revealingwisdom.activehosted.com/f/9- Check out Victor's upcoming workshops and events: https://www.rewilderos.com/- A powerful film on death from our dear friend Tory Capron - The Mountains Remain, a film by Henna Taylor https://hennataylor.com/work/until-only-the-mountain-remains/- Follow Victor on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bonobo_man/- Find Victor on Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/bonobo_man/- Also, we referred to this podcast, which is fun if you've not listened: Savage Lovecast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/savage-lovecast/id201376301Connect with Anne-Marie Marron: - If you have a power reclamation story to share or questions, please send them to Ask Anne-Marie https://anne-mariemarron.com/ask- Find Anne-Marie on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/anne.marie.marron/- If you wonder whether Power Reclamation Coaching is for you, book a discovery call https://calendly.com/anne-marie-marron/30-minute-consultation- For more on customized immersions with Anne-Marie, please visit: https://anne-mariemarron.com/integral-leadership-immersion

In today's episode I talk to Eran Freiwald about:❤️ Getting in touch with our feelings and allowing things to move us.❤️ The ongoing journey of rediscovering who we really are.❤️ The urgency of healing so that we can be in service.❤️ Loving and living the questions and not being to quick to find the easy answers.❤️ Deepening connection by daring to go into the authentic edginess of conflict.❤️ What it is to be truly intimate.About EranFor Eran, intimacy, sexuality and relationship have been his most inspiring and challenging teachers. With this in mind, he guides individuals, couples and groups to explore these themes and invites them to connect in a deeper way to themselves and the world around them. Among the modalities he works with are NARM (trauma therapy modality), Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP), Sexological Bodywork, and Biodynamic breathwork (BBTRS). In his life he is inspired by community, conscious movement, the gift of music, spirituality in many of its colours and forms, and poetry. Some of the qualities he brings into his work with people are open curiosity, body and self-exploration, clarity, self-acceptance, depth and lived spirituality.

In this episode of the LaidOPEN Podcast, I have an in-depth conversation with my friend Joseph Kramer, Ph.D about my journey into psychotherapy and sex education. Joseph is a sexologist and ex-Jesuit is the founder of Body Electric School for Massage as well as Sexological Bodywork and a past guest of LaidOPEN Podcast. He guided a conversation where I shared my experiences working at Good Vibrations, where I educated people about sexual health and became familiar with sexological bodywork and somatic therapy.  We also discuss my education at the Strozzi Institute and the impact of my training with Stacey Haynes on dealing with sexual trauma and nervous system regulation. I highlight the importance of embodied freedom and liberation, personally and within my work. We touch on mindfulness, energy medicine, and the necessity of continuous practice to bring about lasting change. Plus, if you have been wondering what somatics is I define it in this episode and get into exactly what embodiment means. Additionally, Joseph emphasizes the crucial role of being present in the body and the importance of being of service to others. I further explain the development and intent behind my course, Pathways to Peace: Mindful Practices for Transformative and Vibrant Living, aimed at providing accessible resources globally. The episode highlights the necessity of integrating the body into therapeutic practices and provides valuable resources for anyone interested in similar career paths.

Please benefit from this short grounding meditation led by Sexual Healer, Lorraine Pentello. At least 50% of the population has been sexually traumatized in their lifetimes which means it's very likely you, as a lover, are with someone who has been. This mediation can help you to help them - if ever you notice your partner drifting off, freezing, numb, destablized, highly reactive in a sexual context. Their sexual trauma may be being triggered - by no fault of your own! Here is how to help...your lover, and yourself, so that you don't take it personally, get defensive, feel rejected, maybe angry and frustrated - all of which could deepen that trauma. The more you can stay regulated, present, objective and compassionate, the more you can actually help your parter to heal sexually and increase presence and pleasure. MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:https://www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: https://constellationarts.com/MORE LORRAINE PENTELLO:www.lorrainepentello.comBIO: Lorraine Pentello (she/he/they)Lorraine is a Somatic Therapist and bodyworker specialising in sexuality and trauma.

They glimmered dully in the light issuing from more candle brackets set at intervals along the shelves. Like those in the circular room behind them, their flames were burning blue. The room was very cold"— Description of the Hall of Prophecy[src]The Hall of Prophecy was a chamber within the Department of Mysteries, on Level 9 of the British Ministry of Magic in London, England. The hall featured shelves containing records of prophecies,[1]though many of these records (if not all) were destroyed by the Reductor Curse. This was a part of a battle between Death Eaters and Dumbledore's Army members; it occurred in the Hall in 1996.[2]Its existence was long rumoured within the general wizarding community, but never confirmed by the Ministry itself until 1996.[3] The destruction of the Time-Turners was mentioned in the Daily Prophet.The Hall of Prophecy, which was entered through the Time Room, was described as a vast, cold chamber with a ceiling as high as that of a cathedral. It was filled with row upon row of towering shelves. On these shelves were hundreds of small, dusty, glass orbs (Prophecy Records), each with a yellowed and dusty label affixed below. Candle-brackets set at intervals along the shelves held blue-flame candles.[1]The row of shelves directly in front of the door from the Time Room was number 53. Number 54 was to the right of that, then 55, and so on. The light was very dim in the Hall. The candles were located on either end of each row, which meant that from one end, the far end of each row was lost in darkness.

When you're struggling with your sexuality, it's important to understand the landscape of help and healing options available. Sexological bodyworkers are one type of sex professional that many people don't know about. They are particularly helpful for certain sex challenges, and can really be helpful for people with numbness, pain, or difficulty achieving orgasm. In today's episode, you'll get to hear an interview with guest Rahi Chun, sex educator, sexologist and sexological bodyworker. Rahi will explain what this field is about, his particular approach, and we'll talk over how to find this kind of practitioner for yourself and what kind of situations you may particularly want to seek out a sex bod.  Key links:Rahi's website: https://somaticsexualwholeness.com/Sexological bodyworker directory: https://sexologicalbodyworkers.org/More about NeuroAffective Touch (mentioned in episode): https://neuroaffectivetouch.com/about/what-is-neuroaffective-touch/Get the free guide Find Your Secret Turn Ons to discover the roadmap to your best sex life at https://laurajurgens.com.

Erotic Touch Mastery, Stroke by Stroke. Get started tonight. Our bodies are sensitive, but not delicate. This phrase is something Chris has been teaching for twenty years, since the early days of the Sexological Bodywork training, in response to a pattern they noticed after teaching erotic touch for hundreds of hours. Many people are hesitant […]

"When we touch someone, we touch their whole history, their deepest wounds, their secret identity, their healing powers, and their most profound capacities for joy.Sacred Intimacy is not rocket science, though it is neuroscience. We need to understand the neural learning zone, address the traumatic shaping we experience around the erotic, and create space for and welcome empowered choice and voice. We need to understand about attachment wounds, navigate power dynamics, and eschew relationship paradigms that inhibit loving connection. The lens of neurobiology helps us do this work in ways that are trauma aware, ethical and deeply grounded.  There is also a domain - specific knowledge we need, of sensual massage, genital anatomy, genital massage strokes, genital dearmouring, and the integration of science, sex and spirit."  From Caffyn Jesse's new site and new online course - a curation and culmination of their life's work and play.  

We are shedding light on taboos this episode! Demystifying v.ulva mapping (often called yoni mapping) and sharing my transformation through this powerful practice, how this motivated me to become a practitioner and help people have this expansive experience for themselves. I detail the practice step by step because I am all about pulling the curtain back on this often misunderstood practice! I studied this last year through a Certificate in Sexological Bodywork and it's one of the most mind-blowing hands on sessions you will ever receive. I am back in Australia so offering these sessions again, on the East Coast of Australia and by distance too.

Our commitment to seeking external support for our marriage is rooted in our vow to lean on our community when we need it. We understand the challenge of deciding when to address issues within the relationship versus when it's time to look for professional assistance. In today's episode, we discuss the three types of external support we've used that have significantly impacted our relationship. We believe that seeking external support, including couple's therapy, is a sign of strength and a crucial element to maintain the health and wellness of your “We.”One of the main ways we get support is through couples therapy. Because it's crucial to work with a therapist who's aligned with your views on partnership and growth, we break down differences in therapeutic approaches, questions to ask when seeking support, and reasons why you might want to get external support. Plus, we open up about our session with a Sexological Bodywork practitioner, which has deepened our intimate connection and helped us confront personal conflicts related to pleasure.Our invitation for you this week is to explore with your partner how you each relate to getting external support, and have an honest look at where you might currently want or need help to address challenges or to invest in taking your interpersonal dynamic to the next level of health.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Was genau macht eigentlich regelmäßiger Körperkontakt mit dem menschlichen Körper? Und was passiert, wenn wir in einer Paarbeziehung sehr lange keinen Körperkontakt mehr haben? Darüber spreche ich in der heutigen Podcastfolge. Soviel kann ich schon vorweg verraten: Ihr solltest als Paar - selbst, wenn es gerade nicht so rund läuft - nicht vollständig über lange Zeit auf Körperkontakt verzichten. Denn wer sich regelmäßig berührt, bekommt auch regelmäßig einen Hormonkick, der die eigene Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden fördert. Auf unseren Tantra-Seminaren helfen wir euch gerne dabei, eure Paarbeziehung durch intensiveren Körperkontakt wieder zu stärken. Wenn du als Frau erstmal alleine loslegen willst, weil dein Partner vielleicht noch nicht so offen für tantrische Räume ist: Auf meinem nächsten 'Tantra meets Sexological Bodywork'-Retreat von 8.-12. Juli nahe München sind noch 2 letzte Plätze frei. Du kannst dich hier anmelden: https://kathrinismaier.de/tantra-meets-sexological-bodywork-frauen-retreat-muenchen/ Du willst noch mehr???

Quicky #16 is from Season 2, Episode 2; Porn Yoga: Healthy Porn Watching (with Joseph Kramer, Ph.D.) Welcome back to the #MenSexPleasure podcast, this is episode 17. Today, I'm chatting with Joseph Kramer, Ph.D. For forty years, Joseph has traveled the world teaching erotic bodywork. In 1984, he founded the Body Electric School in Oakland, California, where he trained thousands of professional massage therapists, erotic bodyworkers and somatic educators. In 2003, Joseph founded the new legal profession of Sexological Bodywork™. Joseph Kramer teaches in Sexological Bodywork trainings in California, Europe, Canada, Brazil and Australia and through his educational websites: OrgasmicYoga.com, EroticMassage.com, EroticIntegration.com and YogaofSex.com. Joseph and I discuss his practice of Porn Yoga, now called Erotic Integration. I've spoken on many other podcasts about my opinion that porn can be used intentionally as a tool to aid our arousal. This point of view comes directly from Joseph and the work that he does. We speak about how to watch porn healthily.

We've made it to Episode 500! This week I welcome Kimberly Johnson for a conversation about somatic experiences for healing, the practice of sexological bodywork, and the fourth trimester of motherhood. We also discuss discerning between being proactive versus reactive in life and activating what Kimberly refers to, in her work, as the “Inner Jaguar.”.  Kimberly is a Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic Experiencing trauma resolution practitioner, postpartum advocate, birth doula, author, and single mom.  Some of the topics we explore include: Somatic Experiencing: what it is, how to find a practitioner, and some tools women can use to heal (4:18) Activating your “Inner Jaguar” is not about being an Alpha female, it's about being comfortable in your own skin, helping you to go after what you want or don't want, and letting go rather than burnout (10:18) What is sexological bodywork? The fourth trimester of motherhood and why is it important for women/mothers to shift their experience of being and mothering (17:09) “What you need post-partum is also what this culture needs to move in a direction that actually honors life.” (38:00)

What is your erotic potential? And how might you ... increase it? Online erotica? Mindful masturbation? Solo nude mirror practices? The answer is all of the above and much, much more.   To help guide us through the erotic bramblebush (erotic bramblebush? erotic bramblebush!) we are very lucky to sit down with the wise and wonderful Rebecca S. Kay.   Rebecca is a Sex Educator with over ten years of experience. She's been a sexual advisor at Planned Parenthood, the Sexual Education Centre at the University of Toronto and the Brandon Centre in London, England. She has studied Surrogate Partner Therapy with UK based ICASA and is currently obtaining her certification in Somatic Sex Education and Sexological Bodywork through the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education.   Rebecca's mission is to break down sexual stigma and build up people's relationships with their bodies, sexualities, and each other. She is guided by the belief that pleasure is an essential element of this work and that nurturing intimacy takes courage and practice. Rebecca helps clients connect with their bodies and sharpen their skills through mindfulness, sexological bodywork, psychology, and neuroscience. She's at www.rebeccaskay.com and I recommend checking out her work and offerings.   With Rebecca's warmth, curiosity, and judgement-free guidance she creates such a rare and supportive open space to talk about sexuality. And yet! Despite this safe space creating ability ... I was, uh, extremely nervous. Extremely. As you'll hear. So it was growth for me and I hope it can be growth for you, too. Sexuality is so stigmatized and maybe this type of conversation helps us move a little bit down the path.   My wife Leslie also teaches sexual ed to seventh and eighth grade students and she (kindly!) joins for this conversation. So, here we go! Are you ready? Let's bravely jump into this wonderful conversation with Rebecca S. Kay.   Let's flip the page into Chapter 109 now…   What You'll Learn: How should we teach young people about sex? Why is there still so much stigma around sex? What is planned parenthood? What is somatic sex education? What is erotic potential? What is the state of sex education today? Why is it so important to teach kids about body parts? How are we shaped by our first sexual experiences? How can we help kids explore their sexuality safely? What is the value of reading erotic writing? How can we use self compassion to love our bodies more? How do we reconcile the paradox of coupledom and erotic desire? How can we maintain eroticism in a long term committed relationship? What is the difference between love and desire? Why is eroticism in marriage fairly new as a concept? What's the state of marriage today? Why are monogamy and non monogamy not binary?
