Whitman's Child: Joseph Kramer - From The Red Thread of Passion

David Guy

The Red Thread of PassionJoseph 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.

Joseph Kramer - From Reclaiming Eros

Margaret Wade and Suzanne Blackburn

Reclaiming ErosI grew up in a Catholic family that was very service oriented, very “other” conscious. My father was a lawyer who gave half of his time providing free service for the unprivileged and folks in trouble, so early on, I got this idea of service and connectedness to others. I was a very religious, I would say ecstatic, boy. Something my father and my grandmother instilled in me was a sense of awe and a love of nature. Even in my suburban neighborhood, I tried to get away and spend time in some little field or wooded area. As I got older, I channeled that sense of awe and wonder into mystical Christianity.

Sexual Behavior in the Human Male by Alfred Kinsey: A Review

Sexual Behavior in the Human MaleSexual Behavior in the Human Male: A Review
By Joseph Kramer, Ph.D.

The budding eleven-year-old sexologist in me found Alfred Kinsey’s 804 page book at the main branch of the St. Louis public library in 1958.   Over a three-year period, I made over a dozen trips from my suburban home to the heart of St. Louis to study what Kinsey discovered about male sexual behavior. I was especially interested in his sections on early sexual growth and activity, masturbation, homosexuality, and how religious background influenced sexual outlet.  I remember being surprised that an eleven-year-old could read and make sense of this adult, scientific text.  I also remember after each pilgrimage, sighing in relief at the diversity of human sexual behavior.  Thanks to Alfred Kinsey, I was able to let go of some of my early sexual shame.

Sexual Behavior in the Human FemaleSexual 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.

Nytelsesaktivister for seksuelt velvære

Terje Gammelsrud

Joseph Kramer og hans The New School of Erotich Touch repræsenterer det allerbedste på området genital og anal ressourceforvaltning.

Hans film kan være en formidabel inspirationskilde for seksuelt engagerede og aktive kvinder og mænd, og ikke mindst for alle der kun har oplevet lidt fornyelse de sidste to, ti eller fyrre år. Det er så lidt, så lidt, der skal til for at opleve noget nyt og spændende.
