Let’s be honest, sex sells.
When people think of sex, usually the first thing that comes to mind is sexual intercourse. Sexuality – a person’s identity relating to gender or genders that they are attracted to – plays a huge role in our lives.
Why does who we are attracted to matter?
It matters because companies use attractive images, videos, and art every day to advertise their products. Their advertisements are so specific that they can pinpoint specific age groups and genders.
Even though we’ve all seen advertisements everywhere, it is sometimes difficult to realize how manipulative they are. Men modelling underwear on poster boards at the bus stops, attractive women, modelling fashion, make-up, jewelry, etc.; there are an endless number of examples all around us in the world that most people don’t notice.
The term “sexuality” is often associated with confusion and shame because it’s considered a personal matter that people may feel they would be judged for speaking openly about. Confusion because someone may not understand their sexuality yet and shame for the fear of being judged by everyone that person loves.
Today, there is an evident separation between our bodies and our intimate preferences.
Sex is still very much a taboo topic because it is extremely personal yet a completely normal part of most of every living thing ‘s life. Due to the historical and religious past, society still views sex negatively to this day.
Consensual sex should not be seen as a negative or dirty, because it is as mundane as breathing. Exploring our intimate selves is an important part of who we are and a great way to get to know our preferences.
Currently, in some countries, laws are being passed to restrict people’s sexual freedoms and bodily anatomy. Anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ is at risk of being attacked or persecuted by the public.
That is why accurate sex education in schools is so incredibly important. It can teach everyone the importance of consent, the entire reproduction process, the knowledge of what to expect from your body and the meaning of sexuality. Unfortunately, talking about any aspect of sex is frowned upon in public and many families. Some teachers avoid the topic altogether or sugar-coat the truth, leaving children unprepared.
In addition, almost every one of us has experienced and endured unwanted touch in their life at some point, whether it is an unwanted cuddle of a young child, groping in a bar, seemingly innocent caresses by the wrong person… the list is endless. Many have also experienced damaging sexual, physical, emotional, and psychological abuse in their lifetime. It is more common than people care to admit.
No less painful is emotional or psychological abuse, where we have been talked to in a sexually unwanted way that attacked our integrity or self-image. All of this causes us to distance ourselves from our genitals, which can show up as confusion, numbness, shame, fear and ambiguity about what we want – which undoubtedly separates us from the ability to fully live our sex lives.
All of these are reasons why we have such a conflicted relationship with sexuality, but the truth is… we all have struggled with our sexuality at some points in our lives. The great news, though, is that we’re all orgasmic beings in our natural state. Every cell in our bodies is wired for experiencing pleasure. Pleasure has the power to heal, if we allow it. And we can become what we are meant to be, living our full expression of ourselves.

Sexological Bodywork helps us to free ourselves from blockages and become more present in our body and during sex. It expands the boundaries of how much pleasure we can feel and endure. The connection of heart, mind and body with one’s own sexuality leads to sexual empowerment, which can be the basis for better contact and relationship with oneself and other people. It is intended to nurture and deepen the sensory self or reawaken it.
If you want to get rid of feelings of sexual shame, explore the dimensions of the connection between sexuality and spirit, learn to better express your expectations and desires, and at the same time deepen the erotic feeling, welcome to this journey.
I feel deep and intense feelings inside me, which is completely new to me! The whole body began to wake up and stretch. I would definitely recommend sessions with Orlena to anyone who seeks a more genuine contact with themselves, their desires, their needs… Thank you for your supportive energy, even when I could not find the words. Thank you for your kind and gentle, but at the same time strong encouragement. I am really grateful that our paths have crossed. – Aurora
Sexological bodywork definitely deepened my body awareness; it challenged me to take a step out of my comfort zone and opened me up to new insights and possibilities. I realized that I am the one who makes decisions about my body and myself; that the key to deeper pleasure is in taking the time to feel rather than disassociate and rush through. Orlena’s openness, acceptance, and presence helped me to connect to my sexuality more meaningfully than ever before. – Sara
Of all the tools that I have experienced with Orlena, the one that has remained strongest in my feelings and my body was anal mapping. I cannot say I did not have a relationship with my anus before, but Orlena’s approach has opened up feelings and depths unknown to me. After the mapping, I am much more aware of my anus and its importance to my sexuality, whether I am self-pleasuring or enjoying the touch and intercourse with someone else. – Helena
In my eyes, Orlena is a true healer. Her sincerity and commitment to what she offers, made such a difference when I was feeling lost and in distress. Her calm presence creates the atmosphere I need to be able to deeply engage with myself and my body during our session(s) together. Our work together has felt gentle, respectful, committed and honest. She knows what she’s doing, and she does it like a pro. – Turiya
