Key Takeaways:
- Pressure to perform and misunderstandings shape sexuality - The common perception of sexuality is strongly goal-oriented: orgasm and erection are considered mandatory. This creates pressure, leads to insecurity and alienates people from their bodies. Many women feel used as a result, while men suffer from enormous performance stress.
- Awareness instead of mechanics - the path to fulfilling intimacy - ‘Conscious sexuality’ means being in the moment, without an agenda or technique. It is about feeling the body, letting go of expectations and trusting the body's natural intelligence. Awareness creates love and healing - it is not intensity, but sensitivity that changes the experience.
- Return to innocence and body connection - Innocence means being free from preconceived images, expectations and social conditioning. Practical steps include observing your breathing, releasing tension, mindful movements, gentle touch and presence in everyday life. This connection to the body is the basis for fulfilling sexuality and deeper relationships.
