Somatic Sex Education

---

Educators teach clients to tune into their bodies to understand and recognize physical sensations, emotions, and sexual responses. This increased awareness can help individuals identify what feels good and what doesn't, aiding in the discovery of personal preferences and needs.

Mindfulness is used to help individuals become more present during sexual activity. Techniques may involve focused breathing, guided imagery, or meditation. These practices aim to reduce anxiety and increase enjoyment by helping individuals stay connected to the present moment.

Unlike traditional sex education, which is often didactic, somatic sex education involves learning through doing. This might include exercises in breathing, touch, movement, and communication that are practiced during sessions under the guidance of a Jenilee. Certain practices require you to bring a partner with whom to explore.

For those who have experienced sexual trauma or dysfunction, somatic sex education offers tools for healing. This can include dealing with shame, guilt, or fear associated with sexual expression, through gentle, body-centered healing practices.

By teaching about the anatomy, physiology, and psychology of pleasure, somatic sex educators help individuals and couples enhance their sexual experiences. This education is inclusive and affirming of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Learning about and respecting personal and partners’ boundaries is a foundational principle in somatic sex education, emphasizing consent as an ongoing, communicative process.

Overall, somatic sex education aims to foster a holistic understanding and experience of sexuality, treating sexual health as an integral part of human health and emphasizing personal empowerment, safety, and respect in all sexual experiences.
