Laura and her husband are among the couples listening to the Beyond Patriarchal S*x podcast, who have reported positive growth in their relationship from listening to the episodes together. Laura is a Mindset Coach and Hypnotherapist in the UK, who invited Dévashi as a guest on her 'Unlearning With Laura' podcast. Here we dive into what patriarchal s*x really is (and why it impacts both men & women), how couples can begin exploring intimacy beyond patriarchal conditioning, and why embodiment, curiosity & self-healing are vital for personal and collective change.

BIO

Laura Styles is a mum of boys who knows firsthand how overwhelming the juggle of parenting and work can be – the pressure to do it all, be it all, and hold it all together. Through her own healing journey, Laura began to unravel the patriarchal narratives that left her burnt out, disconnected and doubting herself. She found her way back to peace and maternal intuition – and now she helps other parents do the same. Laura is dedicated to supporting parents to release guilt, set powerful boundaries, and reclaim their time, energy and identity – so they can raise connected, emotionally secure children without sacrificing themselves in the process.

It's about time we called in a regular Aussie bloke to be part of this collective inquiry! When not coaching men, you would probably find today's guest somewhere outdoors. I've seen Steve's photos of himself fishing, at the football, in the outback, and picking up huge snakes. He had the same general conditioning that many white Australian guys get, so he knows all about that, but he also took the adventure into inner work to become the man he is now. Steve McNamara is a great role model for men who might not consider themselves spiritual, but who desire to overcome their own limitations.

Hi, I’m Steve McNamara. I’m a coach, consultant, father, and husband living my best life. After years of battling addiction, overworking and emotional struggles, I found my path to transformation. Today I help individuals unlock their potential and live fulfilling purposeful lives.

This episode is for everyone, but especially couples. Not all relationship therapists are taught about sex and intimacy. Not all therapists who include your sex life in their therapy have questioned patriarchy. Finding a Couples Therapist like Rachel Boyle, means you are starting in the best possible way for authenticity and embodiment beyond trauma and beyond patriarchal sex.

BIO

Rachel Boyle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Nevada and Washington, USA. She specializes in sex therapy, couples therapy, and women’s sexual health in perimenopause and menopause. With advanced trauma training, she helps clients heal from past experiences that contribute to anxiety, relationship struggles, intimacy and emotional disconnection. She is also a sex therapist with specialized training through ISSWSH (International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health) and AASECT (American Association of Sexuality, Educators, Counselors, and Therapists).

People worldwide experience the limitations of patriarchal sex. Because it has been happening for so long, it often goes unrecognized. The Beyond Patriarchal Sex project is a cross-cultural collective inquiry, so I'm grateful when people bring their views based on their various cultural experiences. Prasanna has a channel that analyses patriarchal behaviours in Indian movies, which helps people clearly identify them. In this conversation, he told me about the Manusmriti - which is basically a handbook for patriarchal relating.

BIO

Prasanna Shivakamat helps people see what they've never been taught to question. Known as 'The Unlearn Guy,' he is the creator of Unlearn With Prasanna - a growing movement around identifying the invisible conditioning that shapes our choices, relationships, careers, and identities. As Global Head of People Development at Atos, he builds learning ecosystems for 65,000+ employees navigating the age of AI. Awarded 'Future Learning Leader' 2024, Prasanna brings a rare blend of corporate depth and personal clarity to every conversation. His belief: you don't need more advice - you need to see clearly.

Hear from the savvy creator of 'Make Love Not Porn'. Many people have talked about creating a healthy alternative to typical porn, meanwhile Cindy Gallop has actually done it. People report how learning creativity and bringing authentic connection into their sex has changed their lives. With her team at MLNP, they screen every video to ensure it avoids demonstrations of patriarchal sex. Cindy's social sex revolution gives people a practical and visual way to get real sex education.

BIO

Cindy Gallop is the founder & CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn, launched at TED 2009. The huge response led her to turn MakeLoveNotPorn – ‘Pro-sex. Pro-porn. Pro-knowing the difference’ - into the world’s first user-generated, 100% human-curated social sex videosharing platform. If porn is the Hollywood blockbuster movie, MakeLoveNotPorn is the badly-needed documentary: normalizing and destigmatizing sex to promote consent, communication, good sexual values and behavior, as sex education through real world demonstration, with a mission to help end rape culture globally. Cindy and her team have just launched MakeLoveNotPorn Academy, ‘the Google of sex ed’ in early stage beta - a global aggregator hub that makes the best of the world’s sex education easily searchable and accessible for every age. Cindy speaks at conferences and consults, describing her approach as ‘I like to blow shit up. I am the Michael Bay of business.’

The way everyone was taught to do relationship needs questioning. It seems that focusing on roles is the most important thing for security and survival; yet other important things become destabilized and tend not to survive in that configuration. Is more stability possible when approaching relationship from a more evolutionary perspective? This short episode invites you to ask yourself a few questions that help loosen the grip of the patriarchal relating paradigm.

Richard Stanley is an esoteric historian and so much more, who kindly indulged my questions about romantic love, social structures, and historical dynamics that maintain the Patriarchal Sex paradigm. He shared the history based on his location in Montsegur, Southern France. If you appreciate ancient history, the Goddess tradition, the Cathars, Montsegur, the Holy Grail, the Temple of Solomon and more, you will love this episode.

Bio

Richard Stanley is an anthropologist, film maker, documentarist, esoteric historian and author. He has written and directed several feature films, including 'HARDWARE' (1990), 'DUST DEVIL” (1993) and 'COLOR OUT OF SPACE' (2019) which are widely considered to be cult classics. His writing includes his recent book 'OTTO RAHN – GRAIL HUNTER' (2025) and numerous cover stories for Britain's leading paranormal journal 'The Fortean Times'. He lives in Montsegur France, supporting the region's status as a world heritage site.

Is the person who mentions 'patriarchy' failing to be empowered? Shouldn't we overcome all issues internally to succeed in life? Only those at the top of the false power pyramid can pretend that a worldwide injustice doesn't exist. In the Beyond Patriarchal Sex inquiry, pattern recognition isn't seen as a personal failure. How we relate to the dynamic of patriarchy is important, but don't let people gaslight you, as a way to avoid it being identified.

What is said in this episode is not excusing the pathological behaviors of men in the 'online rape academy', but it does help explain it while replacing the increased division between men and women that has been stirred up, with an elevated sense of compassion. It's about holding the men responsible for their criminal behaviors, while also looking at ways to go beyond the entire cycle of abuse.
