The Sexuality Bar in the Access Bars system
What the Sexuality Bar represents and how it is used
Access Bars teaches a set of 32 points on the head, each with a distinct theme. The Sexuality Bar is one of these points, and its theme is sexuality and the thoughts, beliefs, and decisions a person has about it.
Within Access Consciousness, it is suggested that people accumulate limiting beliefs about sexuality from society, religion, family, and personal experience, which can lead to shame, guilt, or restriction. The Sexuality Bar is intended to help release these patterns, allowing a person to feel more ease and freedom in their sexual expression.
It is important to clarify that the Sexuality Bar is not a medical treatment for sexual dysfunction or issues like erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, or low libido. Its purpose is to address the subjective experience and beliefs associated with sexuality.

The point
Understanding the Sexuality Bar in Access Bars
The Sexuality Bar is a specific point that practitioners are trained to touch during an Access Bars session. Its location is part of a specific head map taught in the Access Consciousness system. The exact coordinates are part of the hands-on training.
The name distinguishes this point from other Bars like the Money Bar or the Control Bar. Each point is associated with a different theme, and the Sexuality Bar is focused on the thoughts and feelings a person has about their own sexuality.
Sexuality Bar
Sexuality Bar
In Access Consciousness, this point is said to be associated with a person's beliefs, decisions, and stored patterns about their sexuality. This includes attitudes about sex, sexual identity, and feelings of shame or freedom.
The role of this Bar in a session is to help "clear" or "release" these stored patterns. The idea is that by holding this point, a practitioner can help a person let go of limiting beliefs and feel more comfortable and free in their sexuality.
The Sexuality Bar is typically touched or held as part of a full Access Bars session, alongside the other Bars. The practitioner may hold multiple points simultaneously.
Within Access Consciousness, the Sexuality Bar is a meaningful tool for exploring one's relationship with their sexuality. However, its effects are subjective and should not be equated with a scientifically proven treatment for sexual issues or dysfunctions.

- Participant
Participants might report a feeling of release, less shame, greater self-acceptance, or a new perspective on their sexuality after a session. They may feel more connected to their own body.
- Balanced view
These subjective reports are valuable to the individuals who experience them, but they are influenced by many factors. The relaxing setting, the attention, and personal expectations can all contribute to a positive experience.
