Rahi Chun, creator of Somatic Sexual Wholeness, is interviewed by Caffyn Jesse, creator of the Intimacy Educator training.  They discuss the modalities that have informed Rahi's unique approach to genital dearmouring, namely repairing ruptures sequentially from childhood to adolescence to adulthood - including neuroaffective touch, developmental psychology, and sexological bodywork, as well as the experiences of living in a Buddhist monastery and plant medicine journeys that have informed his space-holding for restoring sexual wholeness.  

Today’s episode explores 3 simple questions from the perspectives of a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Rahi Chun, and Dr. Jennifer Lang, Board-Certified Gynecologic Oncologist and Obstetrician: What is genital health?  What is genital pleasure? and What is genital wholeness?  We discuss practical techniques for dearmouring the clitoris, G-spot/urethral sponge, and cervix for vulva-owners and how to dearmour the frenulum, coronal ridge, and base of the penile shaft for penis-owners.  Our conversation provides insights into how sexuality is viewed and treated from different professional scopes and lenses. 

Prostate massage and dearmouring is perhaps the least understood process of the body with the greatest potential for healing, empowerment, pleasure and health.  Stine & Asim are perhaps the world’s foremost experts in facilitating, teaching and guiding this sacred experience and initiation of releasing past wounds, expanding erotic bliss, and merging the inner feminine and inner masculine into sexual wholeness.  

Amina Peterson created The Atlanta Institute of Tantra to provide safe & joyous havens for the exploration and reclamation of our embodied sexual nature, power, authentic consent, and erotic pleasures.  Her experiential wisdom from deep dives into the nature of tantra, somatic presence, sexual healing, and erotic bodywork has yielded trainings for Somatic Sexologists, Bliss retreats for erotic abolitionists, and mentorships for those seeking to hold such sacred sexual liberation spaces.  She shares her journey and insights into the art of space holding for sexual wholeness.  

Is the process and methodology for holding space for sexological bodywork for those with chronic pain or differently-abled bodies any different than for non-differently-abled bodies?  The answer may surprise you as Emily Royce, who specializes in working with communities who are on the outskirts of mainstream sexuality, shares her insights and experiences of her own journey of re-inhabiting pleasure, and how she holds space for this journey with her clients.  

Dr. Guy Citrin, naturopathic doctor, whose specialty includes hormonal health and anti-aging, shares his insights and experiences on how to best prepare for menopause and andropause and the best ways to thrive through these natural and universal thresholds of life.  

Christiane Pelmas is a force of nature and her evolving inquiry and meditation on re-wilding and returning to our undomesticated embodiment has informed her path as a mentor, guide, teacher, elder and space-holder.  Author of “Trauma: A Practical Guide to Working with Body and Soul” and “Women’s Wisdom Guidebook & Card Deck,” Christiane is founder of The Institute for Erotic Intelligence and The One Woman Movement and Project, and co-founder of The Verdant Collective.  She facilitates the Erotically Embodied Ethics online experience. 

Joseph Kramer founded two seminal institutions that have produced 1000s of somatic sex educators, sexological bodyworkers and sacred intimates all over the world, namely, The Body Electric School of Massage and Rebirthing, approved to train professionals in California in 1984, and the profession of Sexological Bodywork, approved as a profession by the State of California in 2003.  The curriculum for both institutes came to him during extended lucid heightened erotic states during which creativity and consciousness bypass the rational mind.  

Craig’s journey of erotic and sexual embodiment and liberation is a beautiful trajectory of love, service and dedication.  His transformational spiritual/erotic experience as a participant in a Body Electric workshop, lead to assisting, then teaching and eventually directing The Body Electric organization, guiding it to new realms of inclusion and expansion.  He shares candidly essential elements of his various experiences as a participant that became the ingredients to sacred space-holding as a coach, teacher and director.  

Dr. Laura Jurgens, certified Sex & Intimacy Coach & Somatica Practitioner, shares her journey of re-inhabiting and reclaiming her body, her sexual pleasure, and re-writing the sexual intimacy in her marriage after years of dissociation as a survivor of childhood physical and sexual abuse.
