What is Sexological Bodywork?
Sexological Bodyworkยฎ is a body-centered practice that helps individuals or couples explore their sexuality, sensations, and desires through mindful touch and sex education. Sessions may include breathwork, movement and full body touch (from practitioner to client), focusing 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 genital or anal touch, and work within strict ethical guidelines to ensure a safe and respectful experience. Sessions are designed towards the erotic development of the client and wellbeing - as a way to support you to bring your attention back to the sensations in your body. The sessions focus on the sensory aspects of pleasure, touch and eroticism, contemplating the psychological aspects, yet not focusing on them.
A Sexological Bodywork session is a deeply personal. An experience focused on your body, emotions, and desires.
Hereโs a breakdown of how it typically unfolds:
1. Preliminary Talk: Setting the Intention (15-30 minutes)
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. Weโll clarify what youโre hoping to achieveโwhether itโs 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 (60 minutes)
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-wayโI, the practitioner, touch you, but you do not touch me backโto maintain a clear container of safety and focus. I work with gloves and remain fully clothed to respect boundaries.
During this phase, we stay in continuous contactโchecking 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 bodyโs responses. The work is designed to help you reconnect with your body, expand your pleasure, and gain insight into your erotic self.
3. Integration (5-10 minutes)
After the bodywork, thereโs a short rest period where you can relax and allow the experience to integrate into your bodyโs memory. This phase allows your system to process whatโs happened and to settle any emotional or physical shifts that may have arisen. Itโs similar to the relaxation or cooldown phase in yoga.
4. After Talk (15-20 minutes)
We end the session with a debrief, where we discuss 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 sessionโs findings can be applied to your life and sexuality moving forward.
The Flow of the Session
Your Body, Your Expertise: At every moment, you are the expert of your body and experience. I am there to guide you, but you hold the keys to your own growth. My role is to support, not to direct.
Slow and Intentional Pace: My approach is "less is more." We take time to slow down, focus on subtle sensations, and create space for deeper connection and understanding. This pace allows for greater awareness and self-discovery.
No Performance Pressure: Thereโs no expectation to "perform" in any way. The session is about you, your body, and your desiresโfree from outside pressure or judgment.
Key Principles
One-Way Touch: As the practitioner, I provide touch, but you donโt reciprocate.
Respectful Boundaries: I remain clothed, and we work with clear boundaries to ensure safety and comfort.
Self-Discovery: You are encouraged to explore your boundaries, desires, and sensations, always with my support and guidance.
Holistic Support: I bring both my expertise as a Sexological Bodyworker and my experience as a Choreographer to create a unique, body-centered approach to sexuality and embodiment.
Who Itโs For?
I offer sessions to all individuals, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, including trans, non-binary, cisgender, heterosexual, and queer individuals. My work is about creating a safe, inclusive space for everyone to explore and connect with their erotic self.
Location: Sessions take place in a private, accessible space in Kreuzberg, near Hallesches Tor, with elevator access to the second floor.
Ultimately, a Sexological Bodywork session is an opportunity to reconnect with your body, discover new pleasures, express your desires, and explore your boundariesโall with the support of a trained professional who respects your unique journey.

Origins of Sexological Bodywork
Sexological Bodywork was coined by Joseph Kramer in the 1990s. Drawing on his background in somatic psychology, sexuality studies, and humanistic psychology, Kramer developed this therapeutic modality to address sexual concerns through body-based techniques. He combined elements of sexological education, tantric practices, and somatic therapies, with an emphasis on consent-based touch and embodied learning. Kramer aimed to help individuals overcome sexual trauma, reestablish a healthy connection with their bodies, and improve sexual well-being by addressing physical, emotional, and erotic blockages. His work became foundational in establishing Sexological Bodywork as a recognized field.
The AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s profoundly influenced the development of Sexological Bodywork. During this time, many people with HIV/AIDS faced not only physical health challenges but also profound social isolation, as fear and stigma surrounding the disease intensified. Joseph Kramer, deeply involved in the San Francisco community, recognized the emotional and physical toll this isolation took on individuals, particularly those who were dying.
