Sexuality and pleasure is learned
Unlike a widely spread myth and believe that sexuality is an instinct we are born with, it is something we continuously learn throughout our life. Depending on the environment we grow up in and the experiences we have in our life, our chances to learn and explore sexual expression vary while we also acquire different skills. So whatever your learning curve was so far and wherever you are at right now, you can always learn more about sex, enhance and transform your current experience of pleasure and intimacy.
Sex counseling helps with
all sorts of topics and challenges, below are just a few examples of what people bring into sex therapy consultations:
Problems with orgasm
Orgasm problems are one of the most common challenges in sexuality no matter the gender. Yet their learned and available to everyone.
Pain during sex
Intercourse experienced as painful is unfortunately quite common. Yet it doesn't have to be, understanding the cause helps to get rid of the pain.
Problems with erection
Erectile dysfunction or unstable erections are a common problem, understanding the why, we can overcome them.
Loss of desire
The desire for sex and intimacy can vary a lot, sometimes it may seem we lost it but we can always get it back.
Not feeling much
Having sex but not feeling much or difficulty experience pleasure at all can have different reasons we can overcome.
Sex or porn addiction
Whether it’s the need to have sex or to watch porn and masturbate, addictions don’t have to run your life.
Allow yourself to access pleasure & intimacy
We are all born with the same potential of sexuality and pleasure, just like any other human capacity. Yet each of us develops differently in how we speak, move, hear, and sense. These differences are shaped by our upbringing, role models, cultural conditioning, and the opportunities we’ve had to explore and deepen our understanding of these potentials.
Some say it comes down to talent; others believe it’s all about practice.
After a decade of research and personal exploration, I’m 200% certain of one thing: it’s actually very simple. Everything we are is learned—and thanks to neuroplasticity, it’s never too late to change. The only real question is: How willing are we to learn and grow?
What happens in a sex counseling session?
Sex therapy is a type of talk therapy – so mostly, we talk: You tell me about your challenge or project you like support with, I may ask you additional questions to understand your situation and intention better. From there, we explore what could help you create meaningful change. Because I work with the somatic sex therapy approach of Sexocorporel, the body-mind connection is an integral part of the process. We view the human being as a logical, interconnected system. Therefore, our sessions may include gentle exploration of movement or breath—or simply bringing awareness to those aspects of your experience, tailored to your needs and intentions.
Sex therapy as a holistic approach
Mind
Values and beliefs shape our thoughts and reality of experience.
Body
Our body is our carrier, home and vessel to experience pleasure.
Emotion
Feelings give information about how we experience a situation.
Sexuality is often a mirror for the relationship with our self, including our body, mind and emotions, the environment and others. That is why with the somatic sex counseling approach of Sexocorporel we may look at all aspects to understand the system as a whole and work with it.
Self
The relationship to self influences the way we relate and interact.
The other
The relationship influences our interaction and feeling.
Experiences
What we go through in life often shapes our reality.
Working with Jasmin opened a new door to my inner intimate world. Different parts could be met, seen and integrated. I felt guided in a safe and loving way that allowed deeper layers to emerge. Applying her practices, I’m feeling more connected to my body, less shame and resistance in my intimate parts, my relationship to pleasure keeps improving. Thank you Jasmin 💜

Jasmin reminded me that I am a sexual being and that it's OK to embrace my desires and experience pleasure. This allowed me to explore a different way of relating to myself and to this taboo subject in our society. I'm grateful for her guidance in helping me to feel empowered and comfortable in my own sexuality.
