As professionals equipped with specialized tools and knowledge, sexologist can help us overcome difficulties and enhance sexual satisfaction.

Here’s what happens in a typical office or Zoom visit with a somatic sexologist:

1. The coach will listen to your experiences and feelings around the sexual issues you are having.

2. They will ask you questions about the history of the problem, and find out all the information they need to help you.

3. Depending on the specific approach they embrace as a coach (more on that below), they will talk with you about ways to address the problem. They might suggest videos or homework to watch. Practice tools in session could include breathwork, movement, self-touch, learning touch skills, and communication tools. And, always, they will help you move through shame and become more empowered around your sexual issues.

4. Lastly, your coach will talk you through how you can further implement these changes into your life.

Modalities such as breath work, skills in touch, genital and anal work, education in arousal anatomy, massage, mindful erotic practice, scar tissue remediation and body mapping are offered as ways of deepening connection and facilitating learning.

Sexological Bodyworkers in Australasia are trained and certified through the Institute of Somatic Sexology. I am certified and a current member of the Somatic Sex Educators Association of Australasia and as such work in adherence to their professional code of ethics.

Some of the bounderies of the work are: Touch is one way (from practitioner to client) and protocols such as wearing gloves are adhered to during genital and anal touch.

Sexological Bodyworkers are erotic educators and offer deep experiential learning that is designed to awaken and enliven your sensual, sexual self. description

A relationship and intimacy coach is someone who supports individuals and couples in learning vital skills for relating, especially in and romantic relating. Intimacy coach teaches you to develop conflict resolution skills and offer tools to deepen intimacy and pleasure.

First off – it’s vital to know that sexological body work and Intimacy coaching sessions do not involve having sex.

That being said, sexological body worker and Intimacy coach can use hands-on methods to teach sexual skills. Theis can include feeling your own arousel, practicing certain types of touch, sexual communication, anatomy, seduction, etc, within the proffesional and legal boundaries of the modality.

Sexological Bodywork is a form of somatic sex education that uses integrative and embodied learning to address sexual goals / concerns. Practitioners are trained somatic sex educators who facilitate experiential learning about sexuality.

Sexological Bodywork creates a safe container through clear ethical boundaries.

Key ethical guidelines include:

• All practices serve specific learning objectives with therapeutic purposes

• As a client, you may be nude while the practitioner remains clothed

• Touch goes in one direction—from the practitioner to you

• Practitioners always use gloves when genital touch is involved

• Client and practitioner do not engage in any attraction or intimacy in or outside of the session.

The field is regulated by professional organizations like the Somatic Sex Educators' Association of Australasia (SSEAA), which provides guidelines on training standards and ethics.

Research shows that online therapeutic sessions are as effective as in-person ones. They even come with a whole set of additional benefits like:

1. ACCESSIBILITY. There are plenty of physical barriers to accessing in-person professional help. Online sessions help sweep these geographic hurdles aside. Distance is no longer a barrier. There is someone ready and waiting to help you at the click of a button.

2. TIME. In our hectic lives, ‘me time’ can be hard to come by. You might have a frantic schedule and work irregular hours. Or perhaps you’re a single parent or a carer who’s always racing against the clock. Online sessions fit comfortably around your schedule.

3. PRIVACY. For some, online therapy offers a comforting sense of privacy. Plus there are plenty of security measures in place to protect your privacy online.

4. HOME COMFORTS. Let’s face it: opening up and talking about how we’re really feeling can be tough, vulnerable and exposed. But, sometimes, it’s the little things that make it easier. Many folks feel more comfortable opening up online than in person. It may feel less daunting. Or perhaps you’d feel more at ease if you could snuggle up on your sofa with a cozy pair of bedroom slippers.

Somatic sexologist often work in tandem with therapists, G.p’s, and other professionals.

The biggest issues couples face are around differences in beliefs and needs around money, sex, and child-rearing. While a Intimacy coach and a marriage coach have very similar approaches to these, couple’s therapy is quite different.

In couple’s therapy, you are limited to only talking through issues.

Intimacy coaching for couples, however – especially if it is somatically-based or experiential, offers tactile practices that help overcome challenging dynamics in a relationship. They can also help you to establish secure attachment, and provide tools for relationship repair during challenging times.
