T
he AIDS epidemic has led many
people to fear sex. Most Americans,
having learned to be sex negative
from the culture in which we live,
feel justified in their negativism by
the onslaught of an epidemic that is
transmitted. Many gay men have also adopted
this sexual negativism. Happily, there are still a
few hardy souls who, in this day and age, con
tinue to say yes to sex and who continue to sing
an ode to the joys of Eros.
Joseph Kramer is such a soul. Once a con
stricted narrow-minded Midwest farm boy, Kra
mer got where he is through sex and breathing.
In 1984 Kramer, who holds a degree in sexual
ity and spirituality from the Graduate Theologi
cal Union in Berkeley, California, founded the
Body Electric School of Massage and Rebirthing
in Oakland, a school dedicated to creating a
homophobic-frep environment for bodywork
training.
Celebrating the Body Erotic is dedicated to
helping gay and bisexual men develop pleasur
able, healthy, loving ways of connecting with
themselves and others. Step out of the dark ages,
open your heart and begin to develop new ways
to celebrate the Dear Love of Comrades, say
Kramer and co-facilitator Matthew Simmons.
Participants in the Celebrating the Body
Erotic weekend will experiment with sacred sex
rituals based on Tantric, Taoist, and native
American traditions. They will learn the pleas
ure of giving and receiving a complete Taoist
erotic massage and “will relearn sex as sacred,
playful, non-addictive, non-compulsive, and non
stop,” says Simmons. Unlike Western-style sex,
which focuses on discharging energy (as in

sexually
ejaculation), Taoist sex seeks to preserve and
circulate erotic energy throughout the body. This
involves enhancing and prolonging the orgasmic
state in order to eventually achieve what Kramer
calls “the Pandick State” —named after Pan, one
of the Greek gods o f eroticism. Due to its very
nature, this “hands-on” seminar is done in the
nude.
Since January, Joseph Kramer and Matthew
Simmons have taken the Body Erotic seminar on
the road to various cities in the United States and
(this fall) to Europe and (next spring) New Zeal
and and Australia. Celebrating the Body Erotic
will be coming to Portland, Jan. 26 and 27. For
