What is Sexology?
On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson (somatic sexologist and witch) and Meredith Holley (astrologer, human design reader, and witch) explain what sexology is and how somatic sexology differs from clinical sexology and sexological bodywork. Sarai describes her coaching approach—focused on nervous system regulation, embodiment, self-trust, consent, communication, and releasing shame—rather than diagnosis or therapy. They discuss how purity culture and rape culture shape sexuality through gendered scripts, how mismatch and rejection affect relationships, and why “normal” amounts of sex and cultural standards can obscure real needs and boundaries. Sarai emphasizes sovereignty, exploring gender/sexuality/relationship styles (including monogamy, polyamory, and relationship anarchy), and seeing relationships as flexible rather than a sunk-cost obligation. They close with ways to work with Sarai (saraijohnson.com) and Meredith (fourthcupastrology.com).
