It is a touch technique in which we gently massage the tissue of the vagina, while „mapping“ its sensitivity. A woman connects with the feelings accumulated in this intimate area. Some places are insensitive, some full of joy, others full of various kinds of emotions: sadness, anger, etc. Female sex is receptive, accepting and tends to gather and to “remember” different kinds of experiences, both pleasant and painful. Even though we do touch vagina during common lovemaking, these feelings are often not perceived – they become apparent only when slowing down, doing the breath work and extending perceptiveness.

If a woman has had painful experiences in her life, the spontaneous response is “to freeze and not to feel“. This is then manifested throughout her life as a kind of pervasive level of tension and stress. Since we use our own energy to suppress the things that have not been experienced sufficiently and that tend to get activated again and again. Movement, breath, sound, touch…these are all tools to raise energy levels – and thus the levels of feeling and perceiving – in our bodies. If we have “frozen” the pain of the past inside ourselves, if we have not given it space to get expressed and to leave our bodies, we may be going through the tension mentioned above, often even without being aware of it still being present. We subconsciously defend against deepening intimacy in a relationship – as this may activate the old pain at the first stage, too.

These experience dynamics arise not only during heavy traumas such as sexual abuse, gynecological procedures, difficult birth, etc. Sometimes even seemingly innocent stimuli are sufficient to make harm – like someone’s comment, look or wounding words at the moments when we are open and vulnerable. We subconsciously “freeze” (without consciously noticing it) and we then lock the corresponding feeling – that we have not gone through and have not expressed it – in our bodies. 

When using the technique called “vaginal mapping”, we re-awake the sensitivity of the soft vaginal tissue. Along with this, the body releases experiences belonging to the past; in case they were painful, they have caused a sort of “freezing” or “armoring” in the tissue of vaginal walls. Due to this fact, women do often not feel much during lovemaking, or they may even feel discomfort and pain. This is spontaneously related to a reduced appetite for sex, or to the possibility of quick, dynamic sex as the only interesting option. But the feelings of vulnerability and pain arise again during more subtle and intimate connection, which may be uncomfortable to the point that the woman would spontaneously reduce the intimate contact – sometimes with the impression that it is her partner who is not responsive enough, present enough, etc. (projection).
