131: Sexual Health: The Most Neglected Part of Holistic Wellness with Scott & Chris (We Got Balls Podcast)


Listen Later

Men have a tendency to believe that their sexual health is an optional part of their overall health. But, as you’ll learn in this episode, it’s actually an essential part to holistic wellness. 

 

Why don’t more men talk about it then? 

 

Well, most of us were raised in a way that either neglected the role sexual health plays in overall wellness or completely stigmatized sexual desire as “bad.” 

 

This mistake carries significant consequences for men: They feel intense shame around sexual desire, their sexual abuse cases go unnoticed, and the sexual harm they experienced (which is something every man goes through) never gets discussed. 

 

In other words, neglecting and stigmatizing sexual wellness causes men to fall into destructive and self-sabotaging behaviors. At least that’s what today’s guests, Scott and Chris from the We Got Balls Podcast, have discovered since launching their raw and real community for men.  

 

Scott and Chris have both battled sexual trauma and were left unimpressed and frustrated by the typical healing modalities. That’s what led them to create the We Got Balls Podcast as well as their own men’s group to help other men heal from their sexual trauma and become better men for it. 

 

Here’s what Scott and Chris share in this episode: 

 

  • Why is it so uncomfortable to talk about sex? 

  • The difference between sexual abuse and sexual harm (and why they both happen more often than you think) 

  • The alarming age when boys first watch porn 

 

And so much more! 

 

Other highlights include:

 

  • The controversial reason why men get sexually abused as much as, if not more often than, women (7:05) 

  • How sexual trauma resurfaces in your adult life (and how to actually deal with deep pangs of shame before they undermine your marriage) (12:05) 

  • Why a culture that’s generally hostile to masculinity creates toxic masculinity (and how to embrace masculinity without being toxic) (13:26) 

  • Why it’s no longer possible to protect your child from pornography (and how to prepare them for it so they don’t get sexually harmed or worse) (25:39) 

  • The single most neglected part of holistic wellness that’s silently sabotaging men’s lives (29:45) 

  • Why even the best-intentioned religious teachings on sex backfire and create intense sexual traumas (33:04) 

  • The “Identity Shift” secret for permanently changing your destructive behaviors (36:12)
