Welcome back to The Sexbod Series, Episode 8 of this special 8-part mini-series where I’m joined again by my good friend and fellow Sexological Bodyworker, Simon Heller. Simon, who now teaches this transformative practice, brings his deep expertise as we explore the intersection of self-love, sexuality, and the body through the lens of Sexological Bodywork. This series is designed to share knowledge, educate, and illuminate this powerful modality—helping listeners understand its potential to transform their relationship with themselves and their bodies.
Episode 8: The Art of Being Alive – Making Money as a Sexological Bodyworker
In this final episode of The Sexbod Series, Simon and Simon Heller are joined by fellow Sexological Bodyworker Luzi Pods for a deep and expansive conversation that goes beyond business—it’s about being alive.
The question “How can I make money as a Sexological Bodyworker?” comes up often, and while practical insights are shared, this conversation reveals something deeper: when we are truly alive, passionate, and embodied, what we do flows naturally.
Together, we explore:
The connection between aliveness, purpose, and prosperity
How Orgasmic Yoga and Sexological Bodywork activate the body to feel, breathe, and experience from the inside out
The art of doing life—expanding our capacity to feel everything, from pleasure to pain and all that’s in between
This final episode is an invitation to embrace the fullness of life, sensation, and embodiment—both as a practice and a way of being. Tune in for an inspiring, real, and deeply felt conversation that wraps up The Sexbod Series with passion, wisdom, and aliveness.

I believe that working with pleasure is the most radical thing we can do. Why? Because opening your body to pleasure is an act of vulnerability. Cultivating somatic sensitivity allows us to attune to our own needs and the needs of others. By embracing pleasure and the body’s natural aliveness, we begin to dismantle oppressive power structures from the inside out. Working with pleasure is somatic activism. It’s peace work.

* Foundations of Sexological Bodywork summarised:
The foundations of Sexological Bodywork are centered on sexual healing, education, mindful self loving, and body awareness through client-led, therapeutic touch. This modality integrates breathwork, movement, sound, and guided touch to help individuals connect with their bodies and sexuality in a safe, consent-based environment. Sessions focus on areas such as exploring pleasure, releasing trauma, and addressing sexual dysfunction, while incorporating sex education and the anatomy of pleasure. Practitioners remain clothed, and all touch is one-way, creating a professional and respectful space for healing and growth. Each session is shaped by the client's needs and goals, ensuring a personalized experience that supports sexual well-being.
- Client-Led and Therapeutic: Sexological Bodywork is driven by the client's needs, focusing on sexual healing, body awareness, and resolving trauma in a safe, structured environment.
- One-Way Touch, Clear Boundaries: All touch is one-way, with the practitioner fully clothed, ensuring a professional, respectful space for growth.
- Educational Focus: It incorporates sexual education and the anatomy of pleasure, helping clients explore communication, boundaries, and consent.
- Distinct from Tantra Massage: While Tantra massage focusing on sexual energy and spirituality, sexological bodywork works with sexual energy and focuses on clients needs, education, healing, and a trauma-informed approach.
