Men: Sex, Trauma, and Embodiment
Over the past 20 years plus I've work with thousands of men. Over these years men have confided in me about the traumas they experienced, the addictive behaviors they engaged in to numb these traumatic experiences, and the sex they dived into to escape their fears around intimacy and trust. Many of these same men, like myself, were running away and simultaneously attempting to gain 'control' over their lives.

Breathwork, Embodiment & Male Sexuality
Many men, if not most men, have been trained to follow a definite stereotypical archetype as we progress through childhood into young adulthood. We are taught to embrace a 'hero/warrior' style of life. "Chest out, stomach in, shoulders back" way of moving through our world. It's an unnatural way for men despite the recent imposition of it upon us. By embracing it we lose contact with our natural way of breathing, our natural instincts of compassion and service and intimacy, and become the 'heros/warriors' that we think is the natural way for us.

Embodying My Sexual Energy
A number of years ago "Jeff" came to me feeling shut down. He was in his early 50s, and felt nothing in his entire pelvic floor and stated he felt his feet were like wood, numb. He also reported feeling very little sensations throughout his body. He was partnered with a man about 20 years younger than himself. There was no sexual life between them. Jeff also was in recovery for over 20 some years. He reported to me that, since he entered recovery, he gradually began to feel numb all over.

Embodying Your Energy
To embody one's life takes courage and deep breathing. Breathing into your belly = relaxing = full pleasure experiences. Yoga or Buddha breathing, which any vocalist knows well, means to breath into the belly instead of the shallow, militaristic style which most men, at least, have been trained to do. Hence, breathing into our chest simply holds the tension that we want to release in our lives. Breathing into your belly provides much needed oxygen and from there you can spread your energy to every cell, system and organ of your body.
