SexBod Series Ep 7 | The Core Erotic Theme with Dietmar Liebold
Welcome back to The Sexbod Series, Episode 7 of this special 8-part mini-series where I’m joined 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 7: The Core Erotic Theme with Dietmar Liebold
In this thought-provoking episode, Simon and Simon are joined by Dietmar Liebold, a renowned Sexological Bodyworker and founder of the Zurich Bodywork Center. With a rich background in body therapy, couples work, and sex education, Dietmar shares his unique perspective shaped by his own journey into embodiment and intimate connection.
Together, they explore the concept of the Core Erotic Theme (CET), a framework introduced by Dr. Jack Morin in The Erotic Mind. This theme reveals the emotional and psychological blueprint behind our desires and arousal, shaped by personal experiences, fantasies, and the interplay of guilt, taboo, and longing. Dietmar offers practical insights into how understanding CET can unlock greater self-awareness, deepen intimacy, and bring more fulfillment to relationships.
Whether you're curious about the complexities of desire or looking to explore new dimensions of intimacy, Episode 7 is an invitation to embrace the transformative potential of the Core Erotic Theme. Tune in for an enlightening conversation filled with professional expertise and personal wisdom.

* 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.
