Genital De-armoring
Pelvic Pain, Numbness & Pleasure Restoration
The genitals are one of the most sensitive—and most protected—areas of the body.
Tension, numbness, pain, and disconnection are not random. They are adaptive responses shaped by experience, conditioning, and the nervous system.
Genital de-armoring works directly with the tissues of the pelvis to restore circulation, sensitivity, and connection.
As these patterns begin to release:
Blood flow increases
Sensation returns
Pleasure expands
Emotional holding can resolve
This is not about chasing intensity.
It is about restoring the body’s capacity to feel safely, deeply, and fully.
What Is Genital De-Armoring?
Genital de-armoring is a somatic practice that releases tension, numbness, pain, and stored patterns in the pelvic tissues through direct, body-based awareness and touch.
This work supports both physical and emotional healing by restoring the natural responsiveness of the genitals.

Pelvic Pain & Scar Tissue: Healing the Body & Restoring Function
Chronic pelvic pain involves an intersection of biochemical, biomechanical, emotional and scar-related influences that can be properly addressed via the 4 Domains of Health which Australia-based Somatic Sex Educator, Lorraine Pentalow, details in-depth sharing the methods and processes she used for resolving her own chronic pelvic pain as a case study. We also discuss Lorraine’s other specialties – how to address and resolve erection and ejaculatory challenges.
Painful Sex After Birth: Healing Scar Tissue & Restoring Pleasure
Dr. Ellen Heed’s pioneering research and work in scar tissue remediation and management has revealed a largely unaddressed epidemic of painful sex postpartum due to undiagnosed scar tissue obstructing proper lubrication, engorgement, and organ mobility in the pelvis. She explains the importance of accurate assessment via The Four Domains of Health – biochemistry, biomechanics, emotions, and scar tissue – and the role Somatic Recall can play in resolving emotions still held in the scar itself.
How Genital Armour Develops, Affects Our Sexuality, and Resolves from the Body with Susanne Roursgaard
Unconscious genital guarding, which can show up as numbness, pain, or a lack of sensation, often occurs within the genitalia and pelvis from a breech of boundaries and nonconsensual sex, but can also develop from non-sexual experiences during childhood, as well as during love-making with loved ones. Susanne Roursgaard, Psychotherapist/Sexologist and Creator of the Gaia Method speaks about her experiences as a mid-wife resolving genital armour with her clients and how these experiences informed her decades of work culminating in The Gaia Method.

Genital Dearmoring: Somatic Sexual Healing & Trauma Release
Rahi Chun, creator of Somatic Sexual Wholeness, is interviewed by Caffyn Jesse, creator of the Intimacy Educator training. They discuss the modalities that have informed Rahi’s unique approach to genital dearmouring, namely repairing ruptures sequentially from childhood to adolescence to adulthood – including neuroaffective touch, developmental psychology, and sexological bodywork, as well as the experiences of living in a Buddhist monastery and plant medicine journeys that have informed his space-holding for restoring sexual wholeness.
Genital Health & Pleasure: Understanding the Body
Today’s episode explores 3 simple questions from the perspectives of a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Rahi Chun, and from Dr. Jennifer Lang, Board-Certified Gynecologic Oncologist and Obstetrician: What is genital health? What is genital pleasure? and What is genital wholeness? We discuss practical techniques for dearmouring the clitoris, the G-spot/urethral sponge, the cervix, the frenulum, the coronal ridge, and the base of the penile shaft. Our conversation provides insights into how sexuality is viewed and treated from different professional scopes and lenses.
Cervical Orgasm & Deep Sexual Healing
Olivia Naomi Bryant is the creator of Self-Cervix – a body of somatic education, research and call to revolution for reclaiming and developing a love affair with this often overlooked and medially mistreated part of the sexual and reproductive anatomy. Studies show that 60% of orgasms by vulva-owners are experienced via the clitoris, 30% intra-vaginally, whilst only 10 % are experienced via the Cervix – despite the cervix being innervated by 3 sets of paired nerves (Vagus, Hypogastric, Pelvic) – the most of any part of the reproductive anatomy. We explore reasons for why this is and how to sensitize and reclaim the pleasures and orgasmic capacity of the Cervix.

Karsai, Libido & Genital Health for Men
The ancient Thai/Taoist Art of Nuad Karsai, also known as Karsai Nei Tsang, increases the Blood/Qi flow into the genitalia and pelvis naturally, restoring its organic energy flow and in so doing, resolving issues ranging from a lack of lubrication, proper engorgement of the clitoris and labia, low libido and fertility issues in vulva-owners, to erection challenges, ejaculation issues, and low libido in penis-owners. “Coocky” Tassanee Boonsom, founder and teacher at the Loi Kroh Traditional Thai Massage School based in Chiang Mai and one of the most experienced practitioners in these Thai arts, shares her journey of what lead her to becoming trained in these practices, the ability to touch into the energetic consciousness and memories of the client, and the importance of establishing clean energetic boundaries when working with such intimate physical and energetic spaces of a client.
