Your Body Remembers Pleasure: Somatic Sex Education & Sexual Healing
by Rahi Chun
Somatic sex education, sexual healing and the body's wisdom for pleasure, with Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Sexological Bodyworker and Genital De-armoring Specialist Rahi Chun. What if your body already knows the way back to pleasure, intimacy, and wholeness? Your Body Remembers Pleasure is a podcast devoted to sexual embodiment, relational intimacy, and the body’s innate intelligence to heal, feel, and remember pleasure. Through intimate conversations with leading somatic therapists, sexologists, sexological bodyworkers, and holistic practitioners from around the world, we explore what actually supports embodied sexual awakening — not in theory, but through lived, hands-on experience. This is an invitation to listen beneath performance and technique…. to the organic wisdom of your body, the truth carried in sensation, and the quiet intelligence of your erotic life force.
