Genital De-armoring & Somatic Sexual Healing: Trauma-Informed Touch, Nervous System Safety, and Pleasure Reclamation with Rahi Chun & Caffyn Jesse

After years of interviewing fellow practitioners in the field of somatic sexuality, this episode turns the lens inward.

I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague Caffyn Jesse, who interviews me about the roots, philosophy, and lived experiences that shaped my approach to genital de-armoring, somatic sexual healing, and trauma-informed intimacy work.

Together, we explore how early attachment wounds, developmental trauma, cultural conditioning, and nervous system dysregulation create “armor” in the body — especially in the pelvis and genitals — limiting pleasure, connection, and life-force energy.

And more importantly: how that armor can gently, safely, and intentionally soften.

This conversation weaves together neuroaffective touch, developmental psychology, sexological bodywork, meditation, plant medicine, and somatic presence — revealing how deep healing happens not through force, but through safety, attunement, and consent.

At its heart, genital dearmoring is not just about sexuality.
 It’s about rebuilding trust with your body. Reclaiming voice and choice. And remembering that pleasure is your birthright.

In this episode, we explore:

• What genital “armor” is and how it forms
• How childhood attachment and early touch shape adult sexuality
• Nervous system safety as the foundation for pleasure
• Neuroaffective touch and repairing infant attachment wounds
• Why receiving support can transform intimacy, relationships, and even career success
• The role of consent, boundaries, and voice in sexual healing
• Somatic mapping of the body’s erogenous zones
• Cervical and prostate de-armoring
• Working with pelvic trauma gently and respectfully
• Meditation, ego dissolution, and life-force awareness in space-holding
• How healing sexuality unlocks creativity, vitality, and purpose
• Couples practices for intimacy and shared exploration

We also share real client stories — including experiences of chronic genital pain relief, renewed sensation, and profound emotional and spiritual liberation.

This is a deep dive into the philosophy behind Somatic Sexual Wholeness® and the heart of the work I teach today.

If you’re curious about genital dearmoring, trauma-informed touch, or how to feel more alive and connected in your body — this conversation will meet you there.
