What is Sexological Bodywork?

Sexological Bodywork® is a body-centered practice that supports individuals or couples exploring their sexuality, sensations, and desires through mindful touch and sex education. Sessions may include breathwork, movement, and full-body touch (from practitioner to client), with a focus on developing body awareness and erotic pleasure. The practice is trauma-informed and emphasizes consent, boundaries, and self-discovery.

Certified Sexological Bodyworkers are fully clothed, wear gloves for any genital or anal touch, and work within strict ethical guidelines to ensure a safe and respectful experience. Sessions are designed to support the client's erotic development and overall well-being—helping you bring your attention back to the sensations in your body.

The sessions emphasize the sensory aspects of pleasure and touch. While the psychological dimensions are acknowledged, they are not the central focus.

A Sexological Bodywork session is a deeply personal experience centered on your body, emotions, and desires.


Here’s a breakdown of how it typically unfolds:

1. Preliminary Talk: Setting the Intention

The session begins with a conversation (intake) where we explore your intentions and any specific goals, challenges, or areas you'd like to focus on. This is your space to share any relevant details about your body, emotions, or sexuality. We’ll clarify what you’re hoping to achieve—whether it’s expanding pleasure, understanding boundaries, exploring arousal, or addressing specific issues.

Together, we set a clear intention for the session. This helps guide the bodywork process and ensures we are aligned on what you wish to explore, whether it's a physical sensation, emotional release, or deeper self-awareness.

2. Bodywork

The bodywork itself is where we dive into the physical practice. I may start with a gentle back massage, heart-centered touch, stretching, shaking, or another technique that aligns with your current needs. The touch is one-way—from the practitioner, to the client—to maintain a clear container of safety and focus. I work with gloves and remain fully clothed.

During this phase, we stay in communication—checking in with your sensations, emotions, and comfort level. I might offer exercises, touch specific areas, or encourage you to explore different movements or positions based on your body’s responses. The work is designed to help you reconnect with your body, expand your pleasure, and gain insight into your erotic self.

3. Integration

After the bodywork, there’s a short resting period where you can relax and allow the experience to integrate into your body’s memory. This phase allows your system to process what’s happened and to settle any emotional or physical shifts that may have arisen. It’s similar to the relaxation or cooldown phase in yoga.

4. After Talk

We end the session with a debrief, where we talk about your experiences, sensations, or any new insights that may have come up. This is an opportunity to reflect on the bodywork, address any lingering questions or emotions, and explore how the session’s findings can be applied to your life and sexuality moving forward.
