Sexological Bodywork™ is a modality created in the USA by Dr. Joseph Kramer, who, by the way, also developed Tantric Lingam Massage and Taoist Erotic Massage, among other treatment modalities.
Sexological Bodywork has its origins in Taoist and Tantric philosophical ideas and Asian massage and bodywork practices, combined with contemporary Western massage techniques and modern somatic insights in treating sexual dysfunctions and disorders.

The work is a method to support people to connect fully with their bodies and emotions, enabling new experiences with sensations and sexuality. Sexological Bodywork™ may — through mutual consent — also include full body, sensual erotic, and/or genital massages. Mind also, that the modality has an explicit inclusive and sex-positive approach, working with all kinds of people, such as with those who are engaged in kink, fetish, or BDSM practices and/or with those who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Today, professional training takes place in the USA, but trainings are also available in Canada and Australia, and in European countries, notably in the UK, Germany and in Switzerland. More info about this on the Sexological Bodywork website. You can also participate in a homestudy course in Sexological Bodywork of which you can find more information on the Yoga of Sex website.
In any case, practical Sexological Bodywork consists of sex coaching and counseling, that is, examination and reflection about one’s sexuality, experiences, and sexuality in partnerships. It furthermore actively engages in sex education, that is, it shares knowledge about sexual issues, such as gender-specific anatomy, gender identity and gender expression, forms of arousal, sex drive, and orgasms.
In addition, the treatment realm has an explicit somatic focus, that is, it’s sex coaching and sex education through bodywork, such as training of body perception i.e. body awareness, mindful touch with various massage techniques, breathwork, Erotic Massage, Genital Massage, Pelvic Release Bodywork, Body and Genital Mapping, Sexual De-Armoring and Genital De-Armoring, Anal Massage, Genital Scar Tissue Remediation, and Orgasmic Yoga, among other bodywork.
