Sexual Behavior in the Human Female: A Review
By Joseph Kramer, Ph.D
Early in the 21st century, I had the opportunity to read both of Alfred Kinsey’s studies on human sexuality. Sexual Behavior in the Human Female
(1953) is divided into three parts. Part one describes the history and
methodology of the study. Part two explores the various types of
sexual activities that females engage in. And part three compares the
data on female sexuality with the data on male sexuality.

There was a recent study in the UK that questioned whether or not the
g-spot existed. The findings of the study suggested that the g-spot was
a myth. The premise of the study was to ask female identical twins if
they had a g-spot. If both twins didn’t say that they had one, then the
study went on to form a theory that the g-spot may be a figment of our
imaginations. Of course the media got hold of the study and went wild
with it. Headlines began to appear stating that the g-spot didn’t
exist, that it was all in our heads. We were contacted to comment on it
and many of our fellow sex educators began a counter attack. And women
everywhere are speaking out. "Yes, we do too have a g-spot!"

Joseph Kramer is warm, friendly, affectionate, expansive, and just slightly – shall we say – hyper. He had recently turned fifty when I visited him at his home in Oakland, but there is something boyish about him, like a boy genius who can’t keep the words from flowing. He kept reaching out to grab me as we walked along the sidewalk to
lunch, as if to make sure we were still in touch; he constantly - as a
practitioner of rebirthing – took in large gusts of air and let them
out with an audible sigh; he frequently burst into shouts of
barrel-chested laughter; and as we sat together at a sushi bar he let
out audible murmurs of pleasure at tastes. He took delight in
everything, even – it seemed – our footsteps as we strolled along the
sidewalk.

Sexual energy is one of the greatest powers we have access to in the
human realm. Learning to tap that creative, life giving force in a
skillful way is the objective of the various tantric sexual practices.
Sexual kung fu, the Chinese medical form of tantric sex, literally
means skillful practice of sex.

Although no teaching about this path can substitute for our immediate
experience in its practice, there is a role for tantric facilitators,
who are neither priests nor professors, but individuals who can share
some “pointers” derived from the practices of their own enlightening.
Drawing upon the wisdom of many tantric facilitators, here are thirteen
interrelated pointers. They are all different ways of expressing the
same three principles of method. May they be helpful for our
mindfulness as we dance into our spiritual practice.

There are so many ways to experience solo pleasure. It's also easy to
develop habits. Of course, habits can be both helpful and restrictive.
Pleasurable habits can certainly feel great, but may also inhibit our
exploration. I invite you to take a look at the way you make love to
yourself and explore additional options.

In my twenty years of teaching, my most profound experiences have
involved a form of erotic bodywork called Taoist Erotic Massage. This
massage often takes men and women into erotic trance states. The
rhythmic breathing and genital stimulation of a Taoist Erotic Massage
activate a prolonged, orgasmic glide. I have witnessed thousands of
men and women access this astonishing state. This expanded full-body
orgasm is the cutting edge of sex education today!

Breathing shallowly is a life-saving autonomic nervous system response to stress. But the stresses of contemporary life can keep our bodies in a chronic state of emergency, with a chronic pattern of shallow breathing. This "stress breath" disturbs the oxygen/CO2 balance in our bodies. A vicious circle is established: anxiety leads to rapid breathing, while the body's consequent biochemical imbalance triggers alarm. The heart has to work harder to move less-oxygenated blood around the body.

Ever since I learned Taoist Erotic Massage (TEM) sixteen years ago,
I've been a man with a mission. Prior to that I was trained as a
massage therapist, and I learned not only the strengths of massage
therapy but also some of its prejudices and weaknesses. I have come to
believe that one of the most profound weaknesses in the way massage is
conventionally taught is the taboo against including erotic touch in
the massage. This taboo is so widespread and so strong that it is hardly
questioned within conventional massage modalities. However, I believe
this taboo is actually harmful and runs counter to the deepest and most
central principles of massage therapy.
