In this class you will learn about the impact of the vagus nerve on sexuality, the similarities of clitoral and phallic structures, the depth of subspace, and the many conflicting ways to define, understand, and achieve the orgasm. Mostly we will focus on the interplay between the physiological, endocrinological, neurological, and psychological responses to arousal (both sexual and fear-based arousal). 

During sex that involves psychological power dynamics or physical pain play, the brain and body release a particularly strong cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters that alter the brain, body, and sensory experience. I will explain the neurological and somatic effects of cortisol, epinephrine, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins, and their effect both on the body as hormones and on the brain as neurotransmitters. We will then discuss the mind, how the mind forms psychological interpretations and develops an emotional impact dependent on the contexts in which these neurococktails are experienced.

When the nervous system is tuned and played with awareness, it can produce subspace, a profoundly therapeutic and pleasurable immediacy characterised by a sharp and pleasurable relief of embodied awareness, while decreasing anxiety about the future and trauma from the past. When the nervous system is played with unsafely, the is great potential for trauma and harm.

This class is available as an online course! Online courses are two hour video chats with the Professorin. If you would like to take this class online rather than in person in Berlin, simply mention that in the sign up form.
