Benefits of Intimate Bodywork.
Stimulates the release of the ‘love or cuddle hormone’ oxytocin which is linked to passion, intuition and social skills.
Elevates body confidence, sexual confidence and acceptance of sexuality.
Counteracts feelings of stress and depression and help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and improve digestion.

Give a boost in testosterone which can increase libido/sexual desire, give more sex appeal, improve mood and memory.
Orgasms can be an amazing pain reliever, studies show an orgasm can double our tolerance for pain and can do so without affecting our sensitivity to touch. That’s how we get rid of that headache!
