Podcast Episode with Jason & Ilil: What exactly is Sexological Bodywork

An honest and open conversation between two practising Sexological Bodyworkers, Jason King and Ilil Lunkry, both featured experts on Virgin Island Season 2.

In this episode, Ilil and Jason break down what Sexological Bodywork (SBW) actually is, how it differs from other therapeutic modalities, and how it supports clients who want to explore new habits, skills, or awareness in their sexuality.

We walk you through what a real session might look like — and just as importantly, what it doesn't involve — including the professional code of conduct and the clear boundaries that define this work.

We also share some of the most popular exercises used in SBW practice and explain what each one can offer. And as Virgin Island Season 2 brings Sexological Bodywork and Surrogate Partner Therapy into the spotlight, we close the conversation by exploring SBW as a trauma-informed modality — and how practitioners hold space for clients working through nagative past experiences in a body-based, boundaried, and ethical way.

Whether you're curious after watching the show, or simply want to understand this growing field, this episode is a grounded and thoughtful place to start.
