On the one hand, we are inherently connected to each other, part of the great matrix of life. On the other hand, our ability to enjoy that connection depends on our ability to be separate, autonomous and responsible for our individual desires and choices. And that allows us to know, and then communicate, our limits and boundaries. And that allows us to have way more fun with our connections. Ironic, isn’t it?

By Margaret L. Wade Margaret Wade is a certified sexological bodyworker. She assists Joseph Kramer with teaching sexological bodywork certification classes. Our society assumes that all of us lose interest in sex as we mature. It is “common sense” to expect decreased libido as our bodies and hormones change. Ever-present are subtle messages that this is how it should be. It is rare to see movies or novels about older lovers.’’’ text/html 2010-07-11T22:19:30-05:00 http://www.sexologicalbodywork.com/doku.php?id=start&rev=1278904770 What is a Sexological Bodyworker?

I have come to believe that one of the most profound weaknesses in the way massage is conventionally taught is the taboo against including erotic touch i… text/html 2007-07-02T10:48:23-05:00 http://www.sexologicalbodywork.com/doku.php?id=the_erotic_mind_by_jack_morin_-_a_summary_and_review&rev=1183391303 The Erotic Mind by Jack Morin: A Summary and Review Joseph Kramer, Ph.D. I first heard of psychologist Jack Morin in Andrew Holleran’s 1978 novel, Dancer from the Dance where there is a short mention of a group of men in San Francisco doing anal therapy together.
