FAQ (continued)
What is a Somatic Sexologist/Sexological Bodyworker? We are are somatic, erotic educators, assisting individuals, couples and groups to deepen their experience of embodiment. We are trained sexologists whose certification is approved by the State of California. We offer experiential learning opportunities that consciously access profound ecstatic and erotic states. Sexological Bodyworkers act as resources more than teachers for motivated individuals who wish to explore what is erotically possible. Many sexological bodyworkers specialize in guiding individuals, couples and groups into the mystical and shamanic aspects of human sexuality. Although we come from many spiritual and religious traditions, we all acknowledge the spiritual dimensions of sexuality.
We also offer assistance to adult individuals who have experienced inadequate sexual education and instruction in self-care from family, religion, school, birth and health care professionals. Some people seek us out because sexual shame has damaged their self-image, interfered with relationships, or even thwarted their ability to love. We consider pleasure a powerful and valuable form of education. Sexological Bodyworkers believe that sexual health and erotic education are basic human rights.

What is a Somatic Sexologist/Sexological Bodyworker? We are are somatic, erotic educators, assisting individuals, couples and groups to deepen their experience of embodiment. We are trained sexologists whose certification is approved by the State of California. We offer experiential learning opportunities that consciously access profound ecstatic and erotic states. Sexological Bodyworkers act as resources more than teachers for motivated individuals who wish to explore what is erotically possible. One of the somatic realms that Sexological Bodyworkers introduce to our clients to is a state of arousal that is free of fantasy, unfinished emotional business, religious dogma, cultural caveats and habitual sexual behaviors. In this meditative state, an individual becomes aware of the body as a source of wisdom and freedom. One of the ways to access this fertile state is by actively receiving a Taoist Erotic Massage. Helping others access and make use of a variety of erotic states is foundational to the education we offer.
A crucial part of the education that Somatic Sexology offer clients is the value of intentions and boundaries. While I acknowledge the human longing for connection, I recognize the value of professional distance. I am conscious and make my clients conscious that while we share authentic intimacy, sexological bodywork sessions will not fulfill their desires for sexual connection. The focus of our individual sessions is on my client’s experience within his or her own body. Sexological Bodyworkers do not act as surrogate partners. I am always fully clothed and the touching in our sessions is uni-directional. I request my clients bring their partners when they wish to learn interpersonal erotic skills.
