Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The first book of its kind to focus on the male pelvic region (bone, muscle, tendons, and genitals) from a bodywork perspective, Out in the Open, Revised Edition offers a frank exploration of a traditionally shrouded region for a broad market that includes bodyworkers, males experiencing pelvic dysfunctions, and readers who wish to better understand this area of the body.

Out in the Open, Revised Edition – The Complete Male Pelvis offers a frank exploration of the male pelvic region from a cultural and scientific perspective. Focusing on pelvic structure and development, the book explains how male sexuality develops throughout a man's lifeβ€”from birth onwards. An experienced Rolfer with an academic background in physiology, the late author R. Louis Schultz, PhD, shares the fruits of his wisdom gleaned over the course of his twenty-five year bodywork career.

A valuable guide for bodyworkers and laypeople alike, the book addresses such topics as:

  • Genital structure
  • Bodywork techniques to treat pelvic tightness
  • Erection, masturbation, and ejaculation
  • The link between emotion and male sexuality
  • Sexual stereotypes and myths

Enhanced with over 120 detailed photos and illustrations, the book offers valuable advice for bodyworkers working in the pelvic region, a possible area of tension and more serious pelvic conditions. Revised by Schultz's protege, Advanced Rolfer Marcelo Coutinho, this edition includes a redesigned cover, a new foreword by Coutinho, and an added appendix of 20 exercises and self-treatments for common pelvic dysfunctions.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised for challenging negative cultural attitudes, this book has helped many men gain confidence and improve sexual health. Marcelo Coutinho, Schultz's protΓ©gΓ©, highlights its value for treating a variety of pelvic conditions, while Thomas Myers commends it as practical, fearless, and essential for practitioners seeking a holistic approach to the body.
